Unbeknownst to anyone one of the two Pokéballs on Jayne's bedside table had been shaking violently and would occasionally glow like fireflies for a few seconds before going out. This oddity had been going on ever since the room became vacated since Jayne launched her rescue attempt. After about ten minutes the Minun's ball suddenly paused in its violent behavior; about twenty seconds later the ball suddenly burst open on it's own revealing a very annoyed and a bit winded Minun clutching it's face with a single paw grumbling to itself with a masculine high pitched voice: "Can't believe there was a button in the blasted thing this whole fucking time."

Surprise consumed the rodent's face and a tiny squeak escaped it's throat causing the Minun's face to turn into abject horror for the briefest moments as both paws darted to his throat and mouth . The look lasted for only a moment before the Minun broke out into a giggling fit "I just shot electricity out of my body for several minutes out of sheer instinct minutes ago and I'm more surprised that my voice changed!" The Minun blinked rapidly for a few moments before stretching himself out with a yawn. "Brain must be still half asleep. Curse that ball for being so comfy and this body for being so natural to use."

A familiar though faint voice slammed into Trevor's thoughts uninvited I thought I told you to not stray from the Minun's instincts Trevor. Escaping your ball and openly talking to yourself is pretty stupid. If you don't want to be discovered by the girl's subconscious you are off to a poor start.

Trevor rolled his eyes as the pouches on his cheeks began to spark "Listen bitch we agreed to do this mission OUR way or no way which means I'll do what I want whether it's stupid or not. Besides aren't you doing more damage by opening your beck then anything we can do when we are obviously alone."

Silence was Trevor's only reply

"What I thought." muttered Trevor with a smirking nod. The smirk was wiped however when the ball sitting next to Trevor on the table bumped into his tail.

"Crap I forgot about Steve!" Immediately Trevor whipped around to seize the ball with his blue tipped paws "Hang on hun I'll-" At the same exact moment of contact however Steve blasted the inside of the ball with a powerful blast of electricity which immediately traveled into poor Trevor's little Minun body. "Ah!" Trevor squeaked before gritting his teeth in expectance for the pain sure to come any second.

What Trevor felt instead nearly made him fall off the table.

A look of complete ecstasy crossed Trevor's face as if the expression was slapped on."Ahhhh ohhhhh yeaah this is fucking great! Ahhh Ohhh shiiiit!" Trevor moaned and groaned as a near waterfall of drool dribbled past his chin and onto the floor. But just when a bit of pink was starting to poke out of his sheathe, shining already a bit from pre: the electrical current was suddenly cut off.

Trevor's expression quickly turned into disappointment "Aww c'mon man just a bit longer" after giving the ball a few shakes, a look of anger suddenly appeared on Trevor's face and his own paw collided with his face in a smack that would have been audible to anyone standing outside the closed door leading into the hallway: the blow hit with so much force that it sent that Trevor tumbling into the floor. "I can't believe that I was getting off on...on... whatever THAT was! What the fuck is wrong with me?!"

Cresselia chucked briefly before answering "I did warn you that your current body is nothing like your human one."

"I shouldn't have gotten lost like that!" Trevor shouted back expression consumed in fury and panic.

Cresselia's tone transitioned once again into her normal almost bored matter-of-factly tone _"You're not technically human at the moment so it would be weird if you had even an ounce of self control." _

"Does that mean-?" Trevor began before Cresselia cut him off.

"Yes. For now on you're a slave to instincts and impulses."

"I don't think I will be able to handle this mission anymore...I can't function at 100 percent if random impulses distract me from using my perception, logic, and problem solving skills. All of this literally goes against everything that I am and have ever known."

Cresselia drew in a intake of breath before exhaling a long winded sigh before replying, obviously exasperated "This song and dance again...Don't give up before you even try. You may not think you are able to handle it, but Mew and I think you both will flourish and grow into something greater then what you currently are thanks to this experience."

With his arms crossed, muscles stiff with tension, and eyes closed: Trevor's body language just screamed and smelt annoyed as he fired back "Quit with the after school special sweet talk already! I still hate you for forcing me into this"

Cresselia was unperturbed though, that much was evident with her response "I'll win you back eventually" Trevor even heard a chuckle that seemed almost mocking.

Trevor had one final card in his hand however "Doubtful Miss. Ice Queen"

The light playfulness barely evident in Cresselia's voice vanished in a instant "I see your bait and will ignore it. But I still accept your challenge. Anyway to complete this mission you are gonna have to learn how to relax and smell the roses in order react at the perfect time."

Trevor took a moment to sigh before grumbling "So this whole thing is basically one huge stake out"

Cresselia's reply was curt "Exactly"

_Great Steve and I both suck at those. "_Fine" With that Trevor finally prodded the Pokeball's release switch causing a white light to briefly flash before exposing a female Plusle to the world.

*Note: For now on (until the story changes anyway) I will be using the gender-neutral pronouns instead of the he, his, and him when referring to Steve. xe=he, xyrs= his, xem=him, and lastly xemself=himself "

Never. going. into. that. thing. ever. again!" Steve exploding into a tizzy worth of feminine growls and squecky "Ha's" and curses that would make even the dirtiest sailor blush with embarrassment as xe launched an flurry of punches and kicks on the object that had been xyrs prison until now; even went so far to blast it with several blast of electricity.

"Doesn't help you are a bit claustrophobic" snickered Trevor as he hugged Steve close to his body, Reasoning was unclear whether or not it was an attempt to quell Steve's fury and childish assault on an inanimate object or simply because he enjoyed the closeness.

But Steve immediately shoved Trevor away apparently not in the mood or just a bit prickled at what Trevor said. "I just dislike small places that I have difficulty breathing in! Am NOT afraid" The venom in Steve's hissed reply would have ate anyone else like acid; but Trevor was just as immune to a Steve in a bad mood as Steve was to a Trevor in a bad mood.

Trevor's grin turned back into his normal annoyed frown "What do you think fear is?!"Trevor took a moment to calm down his rapidly escalating temper before continuing on with a sigh "Hun we had this same argument a million times over: Your claustrophobia is a irrational fear. Accept that and we can end this battle once and for all. Plus you will be happier cause you will then be able to fight it and win"

Suddenly the Plusle that was Steve turned to face Trevor with a scary fierce looking glare that almost sprayed flames "How about I just kick your ass instead?! That would make me feel better considering you took your sweet time getting me out. What the hell were you even doing, jerking off?"

That was kinda true in a way...

Trevor's face heated up with enough embarrassment and equal portions of both hurt and anger that he made a statement that he would regret later "Just because you have a vagina now doesn't mean you have to act like a women on her period"

"Dem right dere are fightin' words!" Leave it to Steve to find a way to make potential violent scenario somehow cute; even if xe looked completely serious with xyrs dukes raised up and electricity bouncing off xyrs cheeks.

Trevor now regretted with every part of his being that had begged Cresselia not to tell Steve about the Plusle's gender "Look down Steve" Trevor mumbled looking away with frown while hardening his heart for what was to come.

Steve understandably stared very confused at the sudden seriousness in xyrs husband's tone. When xe could no longer fight xyrs curiosity: xe did as instructed. Immediately Steve's breath came out in quick audible gasps as xyrs eyes widened and face turned a sickly color. "Please tell me I just have a really small sheathe and this Plusle's balls were cut off in some horrible accident or was born genderless" Steve squeaked brokenly as tears gathered unshed on his face.

Trevor pointed to the lump of flesh covered in fur and peach fuzz located on his lower body "This is what a Plusle's sheathe would look like if you were male."

"So I'm genderless?" With that weak statement of impossibility, Trevor could actually see Steve's denial and psyche start to shatter behind the human turned Pokemon's eyes.

Guess eyes really are windows into a person's soul. Trevor thought to himself as he slowly walked up and lightly wrapped his arms around Steve's terrified shaking form in the best possible consoling hug he could manage. Trevor tightened his grip once Steve starting thrashing; a few drops of wetness could be felt dripping down Trevor's back. After a few moments of just holding Steve: Trevor gently and methodically rubbed Steve's with his paws as the cooing and shushing Steve's complaints on being treated like a baby began. This behavior last a full couple minutes until Steve became deathly silent besides rapid intakes and outtakes of air that seemed to not come easily as Steve finally relaxed into the hug. Once this calm was established Trevor said brought the fact they both knew into the open "The Plusle was a girl Steve, which means-?"

Steve let loose a raspy, throaty groan before mumbling "I can't believe I'm a fucking girl...this is bullshit. A fucking nightmare" Immediately after the words left his lips Steve must have truly accepted this fact because xyrs gasps for air rapidly transformed into full blown sobbing. Tears and snot was getting mixed and slathered into both their fur as Trevor too broke down just a little, but neither of them cared in the slightest.

It was at this moment Trevor began wishing with everything he had that he chose to swap places with Steve when he learned about the whole gender swap issue. Anything was better then watching Steve suffer pain of this magnitude. Sadly; now that the connections were established it was too late for a do over.

Trevor failed again. Twice Trevor could have saved the person he loved the most from pain he didn't have to endure, but choked yet again in a rather short time frame. This cut Trevor deeper than anything Darkrai or any other evil based entity could do in a anything-goes torture porn session. All Trevor could do now was hold Steve tightly while rubbing his back and whispering soothing words of comfort; actions that appeared useless when Steve's sobs transitioned into full blown wails.


Sometime during Steve's emotional fit the couple found themselves spooning with each other on the hospital bed. Eventually the human made the Plusle calmed down to the point that the whole gender switch situation didn't bring out anymore tears or despair; just was a major bummer that brought him down every time Trevor managed to cheer him up as if he was suddenly slugged in the face.

Meanwhile Trevor tried to get Steve to talk about his feelings to get the crap making him miserable off his chest: but the usual talkative, open book was closed up and locked up tighter then the best bank safe on the planet. Trevor didn't have any practice in consoling Steve considering the roles were usually reversed since Steve didn't care that much about anything enough to let bad things drag him down past "well that sucks"; just was how he was...even though there was no evidence of that strength now during this moment.

Now though? Apparently robbing Steve of his masculinity was a crippling blow that stole more than just his confidence or mood. It was as if someone had robbed his very identity and left him with nothing; which life did in a way since their masculinity was just that important to...well... the both of them actually. "Can't believe I'm reacting this badly to something that is only temporary" muttered Steve with a hollow sounding laugh that made them both wince.

"Steve I would probably-no scratch that- I would without a doubt be dealing with the issue a lot worse then you are currently dealing with it right now. I would have went back to reality forever ago with my tail between my legs and never to return again. Or if I couldn't do that: would lock myself in that damn ball in total shut down mode because I wouldn't be able to handle the weakness being of the female gender entails...No offence."

Steve sighed "None taken. And believe me: I thought about doing both of those things but I don't for multiple reasons. First: I haven't figured how to get back to reality yet. Second: I am not leaving you to do this mission alone in a place where anything can happen while that damn Shadow on the loose; the guilt would literally kill me. Third and final reason is that hiding from my problems would do nothing but turn me into the defenseless sissy princess bitch that I currently only share appearances with while making everything worse for the both of us."

Trevor began to smile when he caught a glimpse of the man that he fell in love within the long winded unnecessary explanation. A sudden bout of excitement and happiness created an impulse that forced Trevor nuzzle and lick the tip of Steve's nose for no other reason other than the fact he felt like it...well that and the 'what the fuck?' look he didn't see very often was so damn priceless. Still while Trevor done those cheesy, cliché things he replied "The fact you've done none of those things, have already seen the logic in why doing those things are a bad idea AND haven't said or done anything to hurt me to make yourself feel better just proves that you are far stronger then you think you are"

Steve shoved Trevor away with a uncharacteristic giggle "Trevor you know as well as I do that just because I see the reasoning why something is a bad idea doesn't mean that I won't end up doing said things anyway"

Trevor chuckled "You're right. Your history more than backs up your statement with more than enough evidence. But guess what?" On the word 'what' Trevor nipped at the part of Steve's long red tipped ear that connected said ear to his head: a spot that something; call it instinct, told him was extremely ticklish if the right methods were used. Judging from the resulting giggle fit that Steve fell prey to with surprise etched on xyrs face: Trevor wasn't lied to. "Its. a. start." Trevor whispered as each word that was punctuated with another nip which was followed by another high pitched giggle that grew louder with each little love bite. Was so cute that Trevor couldn't seem to find the will to stop the ridiculous activity.

Steve could hardly speak let alone breathe under Trevor's tickle torture "haha OKAY! haha enough with *giggle* girly mushy shit HAHA or I'll take your man card right freaking now then find some way to fuck that ass of yours! Bwhahaha strap on! I'll use a goddamn strap on!"

Trevor hummed a little bit as he used his stubby hands and feet to hold his captured prey's limbs down as his muzzle inched closer to the Plusle's throat. Once Trevor's target was reached the little mouse began humming again as he began nibbling on the trapped mouse's throat; in response a gasp, moan, and blush was torn from Steve as xyrs legs fought desperately to instinctively cross but of course was already impossible no matter how much xe struggled. A piece of information that, once realized seemed excite Steve more despite xyrs wishes of the opposite.

Meanwhile the little Minun continued to nom on his defenseless prey while continuing to ponder on what it would be like to be bound, gagged, and completely at the mercy of his husband in female form. Due to personal experience Trevor knew exactly how skilled Steve was at domination and humiliation. In fact just about any sexual experience -no matter how kinky or unpleasant sounding at first- was transformed into a hot lay if Steve's twisted imagination caught wind of it and was allowed to sit on it for a short length of time.

Which was exactly the reason why -despite normally having zero percent interest in girls and BDSM- Trevor found himself quickly getting aroused into a state where he wanted to get off and get off now despite the couple currently being located in technically two different busy hospitals, weird sci-fi situation, and both stressed beyond immediate repair while recovering from a recent emotional break. Maybe even because all of the above. Course some blame went to the Minun's breeding instincts but Trevor wasn't exactly fighting them at the moment; quite the opposite really.

_We both need this..._Trevor suddenly realized, smiled, then surrendered

Steve gasped and moaned almost simultaneously when xe felt something warm and slippery rub against xyrs exposed groin. before groaning out a question of fact that was meant to ice both of their arousals. "How are we both aroused when we are basically having an out of body experience with strictly homosexual wiring as a straight couple inside a teenagers head?! All of this shouldn't even be remotely possible!"

It was at that moment in the fog of arousal that Trevor made a shocking revelation:

Trevor's reply came out as a sexy growl like whisper right in Steve's left ear "Excuse the gag inducing cliche but it appears I was worried for nothing. You will be you and I will be myself no matter what form either of us take. This-" Trevor ground his leaking tool on Steve's stomach "only proves that my love ad lust for you will remain constant. Just relax and let go...I sure as hell am gonna for just a little while..." This statement was ended with Trevor shoving his tongue down Steve's throat with such an enthusiasm the Plusle had choked on it until a rough shove sent the Minun sprawling across the end of the bed.

Steve rapidly shook his head while adjusting to his posture to that of a sitting fetal position while rocking back and forth. For a few moments Steve was silent as xe picked though the barrage of denial and questions to try to figure out why he was inwardly having a minor freak out. Eventually xe found the words to say "Too weird! Too many unanswered questions! Wrong place! Wrong time! What the fuck is wrong with you!? We are supposed to be working to get out of this place, not fucking with bodies that aren't even ours!"

Trevor didn't appear to be listening at all. Instead he mumbled something incoherent under his breath while approaching Steve slowly with legs bent and arms outstretched in a classic pouncing positining but at the same time in a defensive stance that suggested that he wouldn't let Steve past him if he attempted to flee.

"W-w-what did you just say?" Steve's heart thumped inside his chest as fear began prep his fight or flight response

The Minun's response was accompanied with a growl that was more like a purr "Mine."

A presence gave a polite knock echoed in Steve's mind before Cresselia's voice echoed in Steve's head "Um I'm sure you figured out already but Trevor is more beast than man at the moment. I believe you humans undergo similar states when drinking alcohol and other mind altering drugs"

"So Trevor is literally drunk on lust?" For a crazy moment Steve began laughing like a crazed lunatic before continuing "Is that even a thing or are you just making shit up so you can pretend that you know what is going on?"

A silent pause stretched into several moments which told Steve that xe was right on money "I know what's going on because I can get inside the guy's head! and news flash Trevor isn't home right now but maybe what's left of his memory can take a message if you feel like rolling the dice on that ." Was that actual anger showing it's fangs in the bird's tone? Directed at him? So much for Miss. Ice Queen; apparently the ice did actually melt with enough heat. A deep inhale and exhale could be heard before a much calmer Cresselia clicked her tongue before continuing "But you are partly in the right to assume what I said just a guess at first since I just now checked. Anyway the lust Trevor is currently under the influence of is double, almost triple than that of what a human experiences so his current brain-dead behavior is to be expected."

Steve threw up a mental barrier that severed the connection between him and Cresselia so she wouldn't hear his next thought. Still doesn't explain why Tre suddenly doesn't have an ounce of self control. Surely even if what she is saying is true, than Tre would still be able to fight off any odd impulse. More like the bird didn't build a thick enough wall that blocks the rodent AI from taking control of the active body. Explains everything and why the Cresselia is being so defensive since that would mean she fucked up her job...again.

"Pull us out you fucking crazy ass bitch so I won't get fucking raped!" screamed Steve as xe repeatedly and desperately kicked, punched, and pushed Trevor off of xem. At first Steve did xyrs best to hold back the power of xyrs blows in an attempt not to hurt the one that he loved. But then it quickly became apparent that Steve would have to go all out to barely keep xyrs attacker at bay. What was both a piece of bad and good news is that the crazed Minun seemed to take it all in stride; in fact it's prey's attempt at fighting back seemed to turn it on further; no matter how many times it was struck in the groin..

"Can't do that. As soon as I do both of you guys would immediately have heart attacks since the hormones flowing though both of your current bodies are way too potent for your normal bodies to handle. You have to take care of the problem there."

"How!?" By now Steve gave up fighting Trevor off and instead gave him another full powered shove before sprinting off the bed, onto the floor, and down the hallway full of busy nurses and doctors. Deciding that any direction would do Steve gave into his gut's advice of running down the left hallway. Steve prayed was wherever he was heading led to the exit or at least a great hiding place; which he desperately needed soon considering the thing that used to be Trevor was right on his heels.

"I really don't need or want to spell it out for you. Only way, sorry Steve. Not like you wouldn't enjoy it considering you're so turned on that a small bit of that arousal is finding its way back here. Which normally wouldn't happen thanks to the distance it would have to travel down the line connecting you to your body. That and you're kinda dripping womanly fluids all over the hallway flo- HA a doctor on your side just slipped and fell face first into it! That was hilarious!" The resulting laughing fit was so loud that Steve knew from experience from conversations with Mew that a nasty migraine would rear it's ugly head soon.

Who was Steve speaking to anyway? Was that Mew or Cresselia? The voice said the latter but behavior was more Mew-like. Still Steve made a note to never make sure that Cresselia never laughed again considering it was so unnatural that it was more than a bit disturbing.

Cresselia finally recovered from her fit much to Steve's relief "Don't worry the privacy curtain is set up and a nurse will clean up the messes you two will make on this end once you two finish. This situation happens way more than you think with coma patients so the workers here are used to the maintenance... Speaking of maintenance I'm afraid I can't oversee this little project anymore as advice giver and a emergency eject button. I have other projects, duties, and missions to work on." Cresselia took a moment to sigh "Sometimes it sucks being such a busy little bee˜"

"B-but-!" Steve began as Cresselia continued on since she hadn't heard him "-So I leave this project in your more than capable hands. Good luck dealing with all the bugs and more importantly have fun! Oh and speaking of fun, a word of advice: Trevor seemed to like getting shocked alot. Just something to think about using that piece of information for both your benefits when you two play. Or don't. I really don't care, I'm just trying to be helpful. Anyway gotta go now bye!

"Cresselia!" Steve shouted as xe was immediatly consumed with fear and sheer panic.

No reply.

Damn it I'm on my own AND we're both stranded here! A brief glance behind xemself told Steve that 'Trevor' was gaining; not surprising considering the Minun was running on four legs while Steve was only running on two. Fighting against xyrs own hardwiring: Steve quickly began doing the same which gave xem a immediate speed boost. Steve took a moment to be thankful to whatever luck blessed him with the form that appeared to be the faster one of the duo.

Problem was Steve was tiring and it was only a matter of time before-

Steve's heart fell into the pit of xyrs stomach as xe turned the next corner of the intersection xe had recently chosen had led him into a dead end that only contained a elevator, a few vending machines, restroom ,water fountain, and a few trash can.

In other words Steve was in deep doodoo. The best thing that could possibly happen for Steve right now is one of the buttons on the vending machine had mini blackholes for sale.

A victorious triumphant cry sent a dagger of dread made entirely of ice into Steve's chest cavity. Meanwhile adrenaline seemed to slow time down as Steve's thoughts raced a million times an hour FUCK! What are my options? ...I could go into the bathroom and a loop around? No that wouldn't work since all he had to do block the doorway and he would have me. Unless-... yeah that could probably work.

Steve made the sharp turn into though the L shaped bend that led into the men's restroom, xyrs purser of course was quick to follow.

Empty thank god! Steve cheered inwardly as xe slowed down, made a leap, and twisted his body around to face the Minun that hadn't seen his prey leap since he was still in L bend when that particular action took place. Giving the yellow stars giving off a faint white glow floating around the Plusle just enough time to channeling the Swift attack that Steve had planned for in this one last ditch effort.

The attack wasn't perfectly formed however. Every single one looked barely formed thanks to the stress, fear, and desperation of the situation interfering with Steve's focus. Add in the fact that this was the first ever attempt that Steve channeled something other than the electrical energy that seemed to come very naturally to the couple (thanks to that being their Pokémon's species typing of course) than it's very easy to see why only 5 out of the 9 Steve summoned managed to avoid fizzling into dust before even becoming half completed. Thankfully though these stars were the biggest ones.

Still a grin of pride spread across Steve's face even as his opponent's head slowly tilted up to face his direction.

Cursing the fact that no awesome one-liners would come immediately come to mind- oh, no wait!

"You look way too hot for me for the moment. Don't worry though this shower will definitely cool you off" With that being said the Plusle fired it's payload at the Minun who had turned tail to flee towards the exit.

Too bad that this attack never misses.

Luckily the sound of the stars exploding smothered out Trevor's screams of pain from reaching Steve's ears.

"Ahhhhhhhh!"

Make that nearly smothered. A stab of icy guilt and pain stabbed into Steve's heart but he quickly brushed it off in favor of focusing on the next phase of his plan. Steve's paws had only graced the floor for only a fraction of a millisecond when xe was already sprinting towards the exit.

Except that the Plusle had chosen to leap on top of the downed Minun's body instead of over it. Steve took advantage of successfully knocking the air from the Minun's lungs in xyrs effort to pin it's body the same way Trevor did to him earlier.

"Trevor... you in there babe?" Steve asked with that damnable emotion called hope filling every fiber of xyrs being as xe positioned xemself so that xe was sitting on the Minun's chest with xyrs rump while pinning the mouse's arms with xyrs knees.

"Miiiine" the Minun growled as Steve felt it's hips thrust upward in an obvious attempt to slid into some opening of some kind.

"I guess not" Steve sighed before raising both paws above his head "Just remember: You forced me to do this."

Plusle is trying to learn Doubleslap but already knows four moves. Delete a move to replace with Doubleslap?

>Yes No

Once a move is deleted it cannot be relearned. Is this ok?

>Yes No

1...2...3...Poof! Plusle has forgotten Thunder wave and has learned Double slap!

SlapSlapSlapSlapSlap Desperate to make the painful slapping stop the Minun began Discharging electricity in every which direction. The attack sadly did nothing but scorch a few restroom tiles and to cause a small moan to escape from the Plusle's lips. Suddenly Steve paused in his relentless barrage; by now panting from exertion from both the chase of xyrs life and the attacks both rodents had been using "Had enough yet?" sneered Steve with an intimitating glare.

An weak animialistic growl and a thrust was Steve's only answer.

SlapSlapSlap

_"_What about now?"

"Grrrr!"

Slap "This isn't working is it?" Steve mumbled under his breath to no one but xemelf.

"Mine..." growled the Minun as it began thrashing more violently

"Once more for good measure!"declared Steve the SlapSlapSlaps of his palms against the Minun's face echoed dully in the acoustic room with a hint of finality this time.

After the attack Steve rolled away from the downed electric rodent and stood back up in a defensive position. Once the Minun saw that he was free; the mouse rolled a few rotations away in the opposite direction and then slowly rose up to a sitting position cautiously. Steve watched curiously as the male rodent began rubbing his beaten red cheeks as he cleared away the tears of pain trails from his face. Once the Minun shook off his daze: he then turned to stare at Steve with a poker face that xe couldn't read.

"Trevor?" Steve asked as hope and relief was beginning to blossom in xyrs chest as xe a raised a paw towards the Minun. Steve closed his eyes for a only a moment to blink. That moment of weakness was all the Minun seemed to need in order to seemingly disappear into thin air.

The bastard has Agility! This was the only thought Steve had time for before he was tackled into the floor with the Minun on top his back. I've been played with this whole time and made into a fool! This guy is at least ten levels above me..."

"All miiiiine at last" cooed the nuzzling Minun as he easily forced Steve's leg's open to reveal his prize despite Steve's struggles and protest. The voice that came out of the Minun's throat was different from what Trevor's had been before this whole incident started; so for better or for worse it wasn't Trevor calling the shots in there.

"Fine you win...just get it over with quick you fucking bastard..."

"Nah. I prefer to go nice and slow" The Minun replied with a lusty mischievous sneer. However something strange happened when the Minun's paw had gripped Steve's tail base to move it out of the way when Steve tried to use it to cover himself. More accurately the strangeness occurred when the Minun's paw had made contact with the metal ring that until this very moment had went unnoticed by Steve and Trevor as if it was just another part of the Plusle's body.

The Minion paused and whimpered loudly.

The ring wasn't anything special in design. Just a simple golden band with no elaborate engravings or features besides the tiny silver spherical gem that rested in the indention in the center. The nearly same ring could be found on the Minun's tail base but had silver band with a tiny gold spherical gem. Plain to most but to the couple it was perfect that they wore with pride every day since that special ceremony that entwined their strings of fate together.

Steve suddenly began hearing Trevor's exhausted sounding voice "S-Steve I c-c-can't hold the damn thing back for long."

"Oh thank god I thought I lost you!" Steve's relief in his reply was so prominent it radiated off of him like the aroma off of three day old sweaty jockstrap.

Trevor's teeth was cracking and popping from gritting them so hard: as if he was holding something back -or more accuratly someone- "I need you to let go" Trevor grunted

"I am not letting that shitstain fuck me!" Was Steve's angry retort as xe struggled in Trevor's grasp; yet due to the level advantage xe would have better luck trying to escape from a Machamp's grip while still human.

"Steve you have only two choices: allow the Minun to fuck the Plusle or have me fuck you!" As if to strengthen his point Trevor/Minun was hot-dogging in-between both Steve's entrances, forcing both to moan loudly despite themselves.

Steve remained silent as xyrs face scrunched up with effort as xe began fighting xyrs own inner demons and the near impossible choice xe was being presented with. Steve REALLY didn't want to do either of those with xyrs current body.

Trevor/the Minun adjusted the two of them so that the Plusle bitch was above him chest-to-chest while he lay on the cold tiled floor. A outside party member would assume that this was a subbmissive gesture by the Minun to give the Plusle more control of their activities; in that assumption they would be wrong. If anything it was a flex of muscle on just how much control the male rodent had over the situation since all he needed to hold it's victem to him was his arms and legs while still having enough mobility to grip, rub, and twist the sensitive nubs poking out of the Plusle's chest. Meanwhile a mouth found a way to a the back of the female's neck in a firm mating bite and the very tip of someone's male anatomy began rubbing and humping against the female's clitoris.

All of these merciless stimulations were tearing out muffled moans and groans from Steve's throat by the dozens, no matter how much he fought them down otherwise.

"STEVE!?" called out Trevor demanding an answer with a scream , the majorly of which being muffled by the mouthful of the Plusle's skin

"Oh I give up. Fuck me alr-" At this precise moment a scream rang from somewhere outside into the two rodent's ears, something that immediately shattered the tense atmosphere like a building made entirely out of glass housing a pissed off Mamoswine.

"AHHIEEEEEEAHHHHHHHHHHH" Now on auto pilot both Trevor and Steve booked it to the nearest windows...even though the nearest window was a small rectangle at the top of a 7 foot wall and the electric mice were barely passing a foot tall themselves.

The two agent's currently disguised bodies apparently had mastered the acrobatics and finesse of circus trapezist. First they scaled the toilet and stall wall. Once there the Plusle stood tip-toed on the Minun's shoulders on that the small ledge of the stall wall in order to remove one of the ceiling tile before catching the Minun's outstretched hand to pull him up into the ceiling. Finally after a quick leap both agents made it on the window's ledge just in time to see brownish blur fly low and close enough to make the glass and the window pane rattle, which must have been the result from the sheer force and amount of air slamming against said window.

Squinting at the blur's retreating form the couple could make the shape of the blur as a bird gripping something human shaped in it's talons. Trevor and Steve couldn't even comprehend the image before another shape wizzed by so fast that the glass began to splinter just slightly; the last one seemed to catch Steve so off guard that xe temporarily forgot xyrs current location long enough to take a step back but xyrs paw only finding purchase empty air. Luckily Trevor -the ever cautious one- foreseen the event before it happened and had just enough reaction time to grab his mate's paw before it flew past the point of no return.

After taking a moment to sigh with relief Steve began muttering "Thanks...that would have ended badly"

Trevor began chuckling for a moment before that was cut off with a grunt of exertion due to having to pull Steve back onto the ledge. Trevor waited until he was sure Steve was safe and okay before replying "Ya think? I would slap the back of your head for being the idiot that nearly gave me a heart attack but then we might have a repeat."

"Ha ha very funny you ass...Um..."A look of puzzlement and wonder crossed the Steve's face as xe got down on all fours to peak over the edge of the small ledge they were both standing on. "How did we get up here anyway?"

Trevor shrugged "No idea. Blacked out again. I guess the bigger question is how do we get down without a parachute."

"Hmm yeah I guess that would be a more important question...Moving on to an easier question" Moving on to stare out of the window again as if expecting whatever they saw to be outside the window again xe said "Did I just see-?"

"-A boy and Pidgeot chasing after a Fearow holding Jayne hostage?" finished Trevor whose reply was more a mirror of the question rather than a statement of fact.

" Yup that's what I saw as well. Just making sure I wasn't hallucinating or something... Dang she was rather big-boned before all this started wasn't she?... or was I just seeing things?" Steve turned to face Trevor as he asked this question.

Trevor replied with "Nah I noticed that too. Dismissed it as a trick in the light though. I knew grief and illness was a bitch, especially combined. But going from big from emancipated to that degree in a span of a couple of weeks give or take a day or two ?!... it's equally just as insane as it is ridiculous!"

Steve was hopping up and down in place as xe waited for Trevor to finish speaking, apparently getting excited for a reason that became known with xyrs reply "I know! Had the same thought. But when you think about it... it's not really that surprising given the current company and situation she is currently keeping."

Trevor was about to reply "Aren't we in the same situation?" but Steve's gaze had already returned to splintered window and xe became excited again as xe said "Hey I might have an idea on how to get down from here without breaking every bone in our body! Follow my lead." Steve then lied down on xyrs back and began hammering the window with xyrs feet. With only a shrug expressing his doubt that this would work: Trevor followed suit.

Luckily it only took a minute or two for the window that was barely hanging by a thread anyway to finally give out entirely. Being mindful of the broken glass the pair climbed onto the topsoil of the outside world. The pair stood close together as they watched two birds that were by now two black silhouettes doing their dance high up in the sky. Trevor was the one that broke the silence first. "Wasn't our room like two to three floors up?"

"Yup" Steve replied with no emotion whatsoever in xyrs voice.

"Okaaaay...So how exactly did we end up in the bathroom in the floor below the ground floor?" Trevor closed his eyes with an expression of full concentration and focus for a moment before sighing and giving up "No use... all I can remember is that we were having a moment before I suddenly blacked out"

"Don't worry about it." Steve said with a shrug as he began walking off in seemingly a random direction with Trevor hot on his heels; both mice apparently ignoring the fact that the shattered window was now back unbroken and in its designated place.

"No. Don't 'don't worry about it' me Steve." Trevor sprinted for a few steps ahead of Steve before whipping around to place his paws on Steve's shoulders to both show how serious the question was and to stop Steve's movement...except Steve saw that exact action coming and easily side-stepped out of the way. As a result of being suddenly off balanced Trevor fell face first into the grass and dirt which actually brought out a laugh of amusement from Steve who didn't even glance behind xemself to check on xyrs husband's well being.

Worry now shoved in the back of his mind,Trevor got back up with a growl and now seeing a sea of red in his vision "Damn it Steve! I demand that you tell me what I did!"

"Why?" Steve replied, now walking a bit faster as if trying to escape from Trevor or at least away from Trevor's next words.

"I just need to know-" Trevor began before he was immediately silenced when Steve whirled back around with a fiery glare that dug into Trevor's hide like molten hot jagged daggers as words spoken with the same caliber of rage began spewing out like Steve's mouth like lava "Let me guess: You want to know so you can beat yourself over something you had no control over whatsoever?"

Trevor's silence and the fact he couldn't meet Steve's gaze was answer enough.

Sometimes it sucked being married to someone whose profession included being extremely perceptive and profiling people.

"I don't fucking think so! We already have to stomach enough drama as is AND we have a job to do. Which means we will deal with whatever happened back there at another time." Steve let loose a hollow laugh as xe began walking again in the same direction xe was before "It's kinda funny that you're so worried about you done, that you haven't even asked where I'm taking us yet." The pair was currently crossing the busy intersection out of the vicinity of the hospital.

Trevor said nothing, too busy facing down and looking more forlorn and woe-is-me then a teenager who flunked all of his classes on his report card. Seeing this Steve finally stopped to stare at Trevor blankly: who eventually bumped into him because he was too deep in his own head to pay attention to where he was going.

"So...you do remember?" Steve's voice was low and held no emotion as xe stated the question aloud, expression not once breaking from that emotionaless mask. A fact that frightened Trevor to near panic

"Not at all. Just thinking back to what my body was doing when I finally did wake back up. From... that... and the fact you're now extremely pissed at me -with good reason- it's easy to gather what happened even though I'm trying with all I have to deny what the evidence is telling me-...I"

Steve cut Trevor off by pressing their lips together. When Trevor tried to fight xem off Steve tackled him to the ground and used xyrs entire body weight to hold him down while still somehow maintaining the kiss. Despite Trevor's best attempts to break the kiss Steve was persistent. Finally realizing that he was beaten: Trevor relaxed into the kiss until both agents finally had to come up for air.

"I'm not mad at you one tiny little bit" one look at Trevor's sad 'Liar liar pants on fire' expression caused"...ok I'm lying but I'm trying to figure out how to explain how I can't be mad or even hate you personally for what happened. But on the other hand I'm so angry at your nature and current body that I want to throttle you dead." The confused expression on Trevor's face that said "What?" without actually saying it verbally made Steve laugh again and do a 'there you go' gesture' before continuing. "I'm pissed about a lot of thing at the moment. The situation we're both in at the moment and something that is so unbelievably stupid that I don't want to even tell you...at least until I can laugh about it. With all these rage swirling around right now: I don't want to take it out on you by acident. Got it?"

Trevor nodded, a bit of understanding and relief reflecting back at Steve in his eyes.

Steve sighed with releif "Good. Now that's over with, listen to this warning well: Think about what could of happened, but never actually did ever again than I'll be kicking your ass from here to Timbucktwo."

Neither of them so much as snickered at the last part as Trevor began looking forlorn again."Did nothing actually happen or are you just saying that to make me feel better?" Trevor whispered somewhat sadly, appearing to be not one bit convinced. Steve gave Trevor a tired look before he sighing while raising up both hands. "You've done forced my hand...brace yourself little bear"

"NO wait!"

Steve used DoubleSlap!

1 hit!

2 hit!

3 hit! A critical hit!

"Stop it I'm sorry!"

4 hit!

Trevor wiped away the tears of pain from his eyes as Steve calmly stood up and dusted xemself off. Steve offered xyrs hand to Trevor. Trevor sat there looking at the paw for a few moments with untrusting eyes until the shock of the rough treatment slowly drained away. Once Trevor recovered completely, he took the offered hand while mixture of emotions rippled into life on his face; the biggest ones were that of hurt and a bit of something else that was immediately evident consumed his face.

"Now we're even. Feel better big guy?" Steve's expressionless mask finally broken as xe stared at Trevor with a conflicted look on xyrs face. Was probably worried xe handled the situation wrong and felt bad for literally trying to slap some sense into Tre.

"Loads" The other expression on Trevor's face was relief by the way. The fact that Trevor was punished for his non-existent actions seemed to lift a bit of weight from his conscious. With that issue solved hopefully for good this time: Steve turned around and started walking again.

"Um...where are we going exactly? Didn't the birds fly off in the opposite direction or we just flipping the bird to Jayne's well being."

Steave became very tickled by this for some odd reason. So tickled in fact that xe spent a full blown two minutes nearly rolling on the ground before xe calmed down enough to reply "FUCK that was so god damn CUTE! If I had a dick I would totally plow you into the ground right this very second for that remark. An audience would just make things sexier"

"I try" Trevor said with a bow before shifting to an 'you got to be kidding' expression that appeared stuck on his face with how much he had been using it lately "How exactly does cute turn into sexy? Hell I thought you told me quite a few times that it was a turnoff."

"Pfft my little bear is one of the very few things that will always be the good kind of adorable. Top of the list...on second thought, actually almost tied, but just a little passed is Leon."

"Great my rival is the biggest needy bitch since a starving whore in the Great Depression" Trevor only half faked his annoyance in that joke.

"Shut yo mouth before I slap it again" The fury in Steve's eyes however was a 100 percent real though much to Trevor's surprise since he was only trying to bring back their usual back and forth ribbing and teasing.

Trevor actually eeped once he saw the sheer intensity of that expression and nearly tripped and nearly ate dirt again "Was just kidding! Sorry babe I couldn't resist..." Trevor gave a quick glance around, appearing to be looking for a place to flee and hide.

Trevor's timid pouting and other submissive behavior was just too cute for Steve's iron-walled defensive "Ahhh it's okay I can't stay mad at ya. Just means we will have rough angry make-up sex later" Steve looked down at his current form and added "Waaaaaay later. Like done with this mission later..."

"Can we even last that long without sex?" Both rodent's froze mid-step to ponder this for a few moments before gripping each other very tightly, now very close to tears as they shouted "WE ARE SO DEAD!" which scared quite a few birds and Pokemon from their perch but otherwise their outburst went unnoticed by anything else.

"Anyway you were saying before we somehow got sidetracked by the whole cute thing?" Trevor said with a chuckle as he gripped Steve's hand as they walked, Steve let him since xe really had no reason not to.

"What-? OH! oh yeah that thing. Well since this is all one big memory we don't really have to protect Jayne from anything cause everything will just sort themselves out naturally. We just have to take care of the Shadow problem and the convincing the brat what reality really is.

"Um everything is true but the first bit...I'm sure the Plusle and MInun protected her from more than a few dangers AND the Shadow will mostly likely direct all of its focus on her since she is the center of this world."

Steve froze mid-step in apparent shock before face palming himself and shouting "Fuck didn't think about that! My plan was to search Darkrai's most coveted place to see if the Shadow resided there -since I assume the energy and him are basically one of the same- and if we found it there we would find a way to take it out before it gained strength. But what you just said makes that a very stupid plan. Ugh I'm such a near- sighted idiot!" Not even a spit second pause took place before Steve loudly continued with: "Don't you dare correct me while I trash myself; you should know by now that it just pisses me off more."

Trevor wisely shut his mouth to chew on the words he was about to say into dust.

Steve stopped walking to look at Trevor with a frustrated and questioning look as he said "So what do we do instead? We can't get anything done if we just puppy guard the girl all the time."

A shrug accompanied Trevor's reply "Same goes for the Shadow though so we would actually be doing something."

The Plusle's face twisted into an angry grimace "I don't count delaying the inevitable as 'something' " Steve grumbled

"Well... look at it this way: the more time we spend with the girl the more opportunities we get to pop her dreamland bubble AND we force the Shadow to make its move while we busy ourselves with preparing. Meaning we would get more out of this exchange then the Shadow.

"So this is our game plan is doing nothing...again. Seco-No- THIRD job in a fucking row! I have better uses for my time besides this bullshit." said Steve as the pair began their as of now ten minute trip back to the hospital.

Trevor knew Steve was just venting so he paid what he was saying very little mind. Instead of listening Trevor contemplated on any scheme that would end this mission faster. Would even settle for the smallest of fractions of a cut in time at this point.

Well that is until something Steve said hit him like a slap:

"Stupid godforsaken war. What's the next twist? That I'll suddenly turn permanently into a girl?" As if something heard him it seemed like time froze for what seemed like minutes but was actually a few seconds. During that time: no wind blew, sounds of the local wildlife stopped dead, and even the pond a stone's throw away was absolutely silent and still. In the end not a sound was heard except for the pair's a labored and very fearful breathing and rapid thumping hearts.

Eventually Trevor broke the silence with a mere quiet whisper "Didn't we agree weeks ago never to tempt fate? You know... since we now know three god-like beings that could easily make literally anything happen just for shit's and giggles?"

"Affirmative" came Steve's whispered terrified reply.

Trevor smacked his own face with his palm with a loud tired groan "I think I'm gonna throw you in the that pond now...maybe drown you... then myself to end both our misery"

"That was ridiculously morbid even for you...but very fitting. I feel so idiotic that I won't stop you if you tried." The sad part was that Steve's was very serious

In the end neither one of the agents died in the pond that day. But if something did go down at the pond they quite possibly would have discovered the true cause for the sudden stillness for the area. Cause right behind a lone, old decrepit tree that stood nearby of that very same pond: a very familiar outline that hovered around to observe the very odd rodent pair.

If this is my competition: the destruction of this little girl's mind should be a cake walk. Hmmm...maybe I can figure out a way to use them for my own ends? The Shadow continued its pondering as it slinked its way out of the little glade before seemingly disappearing into thin air.
