Chapter 2 - Team Hiken formed
"Ah, here we are Aster! It's Wigglytuff's guild! Um...You Ok Aster?" Cinder tilted her head as Aster was slowly walking up.
"Look, Cinder...My legs feel like they're on fire, granted that's probably because they need to rest and heal. However, it doesn't help that I'm soaked and it's embarrassing!" Aster had tears, he didn't like being incontinent unwillingly, and his legs weren't helped. Cinder walked over to him with a frown.
"Here, lay down, i'll get you changed...I have younger siblings and cousins. So I have some experience. Besides if we're gonna be team mates, we need to get used to this just incase right?" Cinder gave a warm smile as Aster only blushed but laid on his back, Cinder got to work changing Aster applying a good amount of powder. As soon as she was done and had burned the dirty one with her fire, Aster stood up.
"That helps...my legs also feel better, so...Wigglytuff's guild...Let's get miss Audino's supplies and sign up."
"That's the spirit! I'll match your pace, Aster." The two walked up the steps, reaching the grate.
"Oh man...This thing always scared me...I can't back away now! I got to be brave!" Cinder stepped on the grate.
"Footprint detected! Footprint Detected!"
"Ah...No...Brave...stay brave!" Cinder waited
"Whose footprint?!"
"Footprint is Vulpix!"
"...Cleared! Hey! Have your friend step on up!"
"Oh, um Aster...I think they mean you"
"Ah right..." Aster stepped on...and it ended up with Diglett not being sure, among a bit of giggling. 
"...Well, you both don't SEEM bad, come on in!" The gate opened letting Aster and Cinder enter the tent that went down by a ladder.
"...Cinder, why am I not surprised?"
"Not sure...I'll go down first, Aster." Cinder went down and Aster followed, slowly and weakly due to the strain on his legs. 
As they reached the next level, they walked down not seeing anyone until a chatot came up from the lower floor.
"Ah you two must be the visitors, now shoo we have no time for salespeople and what not"
"Ah that's not what we're here for! We have two reasons!"
"Two? That's unusual...well, that and that riolu's appearance"
"There's a reason for that...We're here for Miss Audino's supplies, since she asked us that." Aster crossed his arms, a bit annoyed at the Chatot's comment on his appearance.
"Oh? Why would that be?"
"See, we want to also be a rescue team!" Cinder's eyes gleamed before the chatot started laughing as if it was a joke.
"Ahahahaha! A riolu that is still in diapers and a vulpix doing an errand run for Miss Audino want to be rescuers? Ah that's a good one!"
"Hey, I'm not an errand girl. Here read this note from Miss Audino" Cinder handed Chatot the note that was than read silently, Chatot squawked a bit surprised at the results. It explained Aster's condition and informed Chatot of everything going on. 
"Well...I see. Let us go see the guildmaster to get your team registered and than i'll let you both go to miss Audino with her supplies. If only you showed me this note beforehand. I do apologize for my rude remarks early." 
Cinder and Aster exchanged glances before following Chatot down to Wigglytuff's room. 
"Guildmaster, I brought two new recruits...Um...Guildmaster?" Chatot titled his head before the wigglytuff turned around quickly
"Hiya! You two want to be a rescue team! A-Ok! What's the team name?" Cinder's fur spiked realizing she hadn't thought of a name.
"Oh crap...Aster we never thought of a name!"
"Oh no worries, I got a good idea for us, Cinder. We're gonna be Team Hiken!"
"Hiken? What does that mean?"
"It means Fire fist, I'm a fighting type, you're a fire type. It's fitting right?" Cinder smiled after Aster explained and nodded.
"That's right Wigglytuff, we're Team Hiken!" 
"Understood, Team Hiken registered...YOOM-TAH!" Wigglytuff jumped up and landed, presenting them with a chest. "Open it up you two" 
"I got this Aster!" Cinder opened the chest, her eyes went big. "Look, it's team badges, to show we're an official team! Oh and a wonder map and even a treasure bag!" 
"Yep! That's the starter stuff for any explorer!" Wigglytuff hugged both Cinder and Aster. 'Welcome to the guild, friends! I'll read Miss Audino's note to understand the Riolu's situation. Now you both go deliver her supplies so she's all set!" Wigglytuff waved Aster and Cinder off as they gathered Miss Audino's supplies, with Aster surprisingly carrying most of them despite his weakened legs. As they reached the clinic, Ace met them in the lobby.
"Ah, I see you both got them. Oh and look at those badges! Seems you're both set up!"
"Yep, Oh...Aster, are you ok?"
"Yeah, I'm fine Cinder...My legs are just strained again..."
Audino walked in from the back at that moment.
"Oh! Aster! I was looking over your scans. Your leg muscles are a bit strained. So you'll need to take it very easy for the next few days and wear this gauze. It was specifically crafted by Leavanny to help soothe muscles that are strained. I'd like you both to come back in a week for a check up."
"Understood Miss Audino, i'll make sure Aster doesn't try to avoid coming back." Cinder put the gauze in the treasure bag along with the prescription note in order to get it filed away back at the guild. After getting Aster's legs wrapped he began to feel a bit better when standing. With everything settled, they headed back to Wigglytuff's guild, making good progress due to the gauze.
"Ah, you two are back right on time. Dinner's just got finished. Come, i'll lead you both to the dining hall to introduce you both and than we can all eat a good dinner." 
Once they got to the dining hall and Chatot said he had an announcement first, all the other members looked at him annoyed, but than looked confused when Aster joined. 
"Now than, this is Aster and Cinder. They will be joining us as new apprentices. Now, Aster had a bit of an incident where he got thrown around and slammed into rocks, causing him to be incontinent at least urinary wise. So, we are to not make fun of him."
"Yes yes, no making fun of friends, yoomtah!"
The other guild members made some small mumble, but none seemed to be of malice, it seemed to be just agreeing and a bit of pity, with Aster didn't really care for. 
"Alright Aster, Cinder, go take your seats. Everyone chow down!"
Everyone began to eat, chatting as well, it even got to the point that Aster didn't even really feel awkward talking as his situation wasn't brought up and they all started to feel more like a big group of friends. After everyone ate, chatot showed Cinder and Aster their room and left them to settle down for the night. As they laid down Cinder started to talk, but stopped when she realized Aster wasn't really listening.
"Aster...is something wrong?"
"Ah...Sorry Cinder...it's just...Well here I am, stuck wearing diapers forever, needing leg bandages because my leg muscles are strained to heavens know where...I don't want pity but it just feels like...well like i'm a baby...Sorry Cinder...I'm just going to get some sleep." Aster laid down and closed his eyes, drifting into sleep, the weight of everything from the day finally hitting him like a boulder. Cinder meanwhile was frowning and an idea came to her mind. She blushed but figured if it'd make Aster happier, even a bit, she'd do it. Aster would just have to find out in the morning. Hopefully this didn't make their partnership awkward. Cinder laid down after doing what she needed and fell asleep, although it took a while...especially since she decided to wear a diaper, and she was going to tell Aster she would do it so he wouldn't be alone. She'd let Aster decide if it was stupid or not. Cinder SOMEHOW fell asleep despite the bulk between her legs.
