Chapter 3 - The first mission.
"HEY! WAKE UP YOU TWO!" A loud voice rang making Aster and Cinder feel dizzy.
"If you two aren't at assembly, the guildmaster will NOT be happy. And if he ain't happy...brr...ANYWAY, GET UP AND HURRY!" The loudred left leaving Aster and Cinder to come to.
"Ugh...loud...meeting...Ah! Aster we gotta hurry!" Aster and Cinder rushed out, nevermind the fact that Aster was soaked and his legs were burning once again. Cinder's diaper, still dry, was forgotten about being around Cinder's waist, both very focused on getting into position. 
"Ah, good you two arrived. The guildmaster is taking time waking up so...Um...Cinder you don't need them as well, correct?"
"Huh...Ah! I meant to talk with Aster but we got woken up and had no time to talk!" Cinder blushed forgetting what she had done. 
"What do you mean, Cinder?"
"W-Well...Aster...Um with how you felt last night, I decided to put one on...to try and make you happier...I-I can take it off and we'll never talk about it again. I just...I didn't want you to feel upset because of stuff outside your control." Aster was a bit surprised and scratched his cheek a bit, he wasn't sure WHAT to say to that. 
"Well! Friends! Does it truly matter the reason?" Wigglytuff stepped out of his room with a smile. 
"Cinder wanted to make Aster feel better, now we have to ask Aster, how does he feel about it?" Wigglytuff smiled at Aster and Cinder, giving Aster room to speak. 
"Ah well...While I appreciate the gesture, you didn't have to wear..."
"But...you looked so upset last night Aster...I know I could have just kept saying it didn't bother me but well...Your expression just hurt to see. You were so sad...I figured if we were both wearing you wouldn't have anything to worry about."
"Cinder...pfft...hehehe..." Aster started laughing but not in a taunting way, more of a confused way. "You're so strange Cinder, but...thank you, it does kind of help a bit...and now I feel my legs wanting to give out."
The other guild members along with chatot and Wigglytuff helped Aster down gently as Cinder went to get some gauze for Aster's legs. Wigglytuff also gave Cinder and Aster time to get Aster all changed in private. 
"...So what are you going to do, Cinder? Do you really want to wear them anymore?" Aster was finishing up wrapping the gauze himself. 
"Um well...mmm...I really need to pee..."
Aster got a mischevious grin and looked at Cinder.
"Well, just use your diaper. I'll change you, and we can just have diapers be a part of our team's uniform~"
Cinder jumped from the sudden exclamation by Aster, which also caused her to let go from not being able to really hold it. She teared up a bit from embarassment but also the relief felt good. Not having it puddle under her was a surprise at first but a realization afterward. 
"It's..warm. I...I haven't used one since I was a kit...Um...I guess it wouldn't be bad...we could get missions done without bathroom breaks...Um...can you...?" Aster smiled and grabbed another diaper and nodded, as Cinder laid down. After getting Cinder changed they both headed back, in dry diapers and new bandages. Aster and Cinder returned to the others, who looked confused at Cinder.
"Hey, hey, why are you still wearing Cinder?"
"It's just how me and Aster will roll, Corphish. We'll be able to do expeditions with less worry" Cinder smirked as the other's just kind of shrugged and turned to Wigglytuff.
"Welcome back friends~ Chatot if you will!"
"Of course guildmaster!"
Chatot lead the guild in their daily thing
"AND THREE! SMILES GO FOR MILES!" 
"Ok guild, Onward to your daily activies...Ah, Team Hiken one moment." Everyone headed out as Aster and Cinder stayed back as Chatot requested. 
"What's up, Chatot?" Aster tilted his head to Chatot.
"Simple, I'm going to show you both the job board. Please follow me." Chatot lead the two upstairs, to a board near the ladder leading to the top. "This board here has jobs, from pokémon that need an item to be found, that have fainted, among many other things. Let's see...Ah here we go, this will do." Chatot handed it to Cinder who read it over before exclaiming in annoyance
"Going to retrieve a pearl someone dropped?! I was expecting something like exploring new areas or searching for rare treasure!"
"Cinder...We're newbies at this...We have to do basic missions to get better ones, right?"
"Exactly Aster! This is perfect for a team's first mission! Now, this is at drenched bluff so let me see the map...There marked it for you two. Now, head out and good luck!" Chatot waved the two off, as they headed to Drenched bluff. As they proceeded through the dungeon they fought their way through the pokémon, such as anorith and shellos. Along they way they picked up about 120 Poké total and 3 apples before reaching the 7th floor.
"Ah, there it is, Aster!"
"Phew...We made it. Those shellos were not helping...Let's get the pearl and get cleaned before we head back. Besides, my left leg's acting up. That jump off the wall to force palm one of the Shellos didn't help my leg much."
Cinder chuckled and helped with Aster, as Aster helped right after before they headed back. 
"Ah thank you both! I just couldn't settle down without my pearl atop my head!" Spoink gave the rewards to Cinder and Aster, a few items and 2000 Poké before bouncing off.
"Aster...We're rich! Ah well, not rich but it's a start!" Chatot came over with a smile.
"That was a good job, however I must break some news. As you are part of the guild, 90% of the money from mission earnings goes toward the guildmaster."
"...That...means we only...got 200 Poké from this..." Aster fell to his knees realizing how little they got as Cinder froze in place and fell to her side as if her spirit had gotten ripped from her body. After Chatot got the 1,800 from them Aster looked at the 320 they had from the dungeon and reward money and sighed, patting Cinder's back as they went downstairs when Chimecho called for dinner. After dinner Cinder and Aster went to their room to relax.
"You know...I was pretty bummed about only getting 10% but...I guess it makes sense. The guild needs the money to teach us everything right. We'll just have to work hard is all, right?" Cinder laid down her head on her paws as she looked at Aster.
"Yeah, that seems to be it. We just need to work hard tomorrow, Cinder." Aster and Cinder tapped paws against one another as they smiled. Aster undid his leg wraps to give them some air. They both laid down to get some sleep, Cinder still getting used to a new sleeping position. 
"Cinder, hey...Cinder, get up!" Cinder felt something pushing against her butt and turned to see Aster's foot pushing it.
"Aster...get your foot off my butt."
"It's not...remember?"
"...Still counts...ugh the sun's rising...Ah! Loudred will be here soon!"
"Yep, so I thought i'd wake you up early, so we can get changed and ready for the day!" As Aster and Cinder got changed, the sun's rays began to enter their room. As Cinder got Aster's first leg bandage on, Loudred entered.
"Oh, you two are AWAKE already? Saves me trouble, almost done?"
"Yes loudred, we just need one more leg bandage on and we'll be there shortly. Give us...like a minute?"
"You got five. Chatot will be happy with your punctuality." Loudred left as Cinder got to wrapping Aster's other leg.
"Phew, there we go. Day 2 of 7 before we have to revisit Miss Audino~"
"Yep, alright Cinder, let's go!"They rushed out. As always they did the morning cheer but Chatot stopped them again.
"Today, we're going to be using the OTHER board. Come come"
As they headed up, Chatot lead the two to another board.
"Wait...What is THIS board for, Chatot? I know yesterday's was the board for pokémon IN trouble so...?" Cinder tilted her head, a bit confused.
"See, these pokémon on this board...are Outlaws!"
Aster and Cinder jumped back a bit in shock. Outlaws...Pokémon of all shades of evil. From petty crimes to murder...
"H-Hey Chatot...Murder is kind of...serious...Y-you can't expect us to take our MURDERERS can you?!" Aster looked a bit pale at the idea. 
"Oh of course not, those missions are for very high ranking teams. Now than...Bidoof! Come here please!" 
A brown beaver like pokemon came up 
"Yup yup, you called Chatot?"
"Yes, please show Team Hiken around Treasure town and help them pick out an outlaw that's around their level please?"
"Yes sir! Yup!" Chatot walked off as Bidoof guided Aster and Cinder into town. Cinder didn't need any explanation about town, as she knew it from head to toe, easing Bidoof's need to explain, Bidoof let the two go gather their items and would meet them back at the outlaw board. Cinder and Aster headed toward the Kecleon brothers, who were talking to a marill and Azurill.
"Oh, hello kecleon brothers, what's going on?"
"Oh hello young Cinder! Marill and Azurill here were just purchasing stuff, their dear mother is very sick at the moment, so they've been doing errands for her." The purple kecleon explained, as Azurill and marill said their goodbyes and headed off.
"Wow. Those two are working so hard."
"Yep, what did you two need to--"
"Mister kecleons!" the marill and azurill brothers rushed back. "There was an extra apple, but we didn't purchase this many."
"Ah yes, that my dear little ones, are a gift from us two. For you both to share with one another." The green kecleon smiled, alongside his brother. The marill and azurill's faces lit up as they smiled.
"Thank you so much!" Marill bowed and headed off with Azurill, who tripped dropping an apple.
"Oops, here let me get that for you" Aster grabbed the apple and handed it to Azurill.
"Thank you sir! Um...Are you ok?"
"Oh, right. Um...well the diapers are necessary due to a medical problem. The leg wraps are just cause my leg muscles are pretty hurt, but the legs will heal. Either way i'm still strong!"
"Wow, so cool! Thank you again" As Azurill went over to his brother, Aster begin to feel the world stir for a bit. Soon he heard 'Help me!' and was shocked as he blinked and the world steadied itself. Apparently Cinder and the Kecleon brothers didn't hear anything, leaving Aster confused but deciding to just drop it, maybe Aster was just having weird thoughts. They gathered a few items and headed back, seeing a drowzee talking to the rill brothers.
"Oh hey you two, what's going on?" Cinder walked over
"Oh, Cinder! Mr.Drowzee said he's seen our missing water float and could guide us to where it was to help us find it."
"Oh think nothing of it you two, how could I not help young children such as yourselves. Come i'll show you both," Drowzee accidently bumped against Aster as they passed "Ah my apologies young one." As soon as Drowzee walked off, Aster felt the same diziness again...but this time, he saw Drowzee threating azurill before hearing the help me. Aster pulled Cinder aside to explain what he saw.
"Aster...I want to believe you, but Drowzee seemed to be so nice...Besides, we aren't allowed to just go after anyone randomly, we're apprentices. Come on, we gotta get back to Bidoof."
"Right...Sorry it just seemed so real...My mind must be overthinking stuff." Cinder led the way back as Aster seemed to be in thought, but still followed close. As they got back, Dugtrio announced it was updating the board, Bidoof explained how it was Dugtrio's job, one he did proudly. As the board turned back around to show the updated list, Cinder began to shake as her eyes narrowed. "Aster...up there...Look!" Aster looked and his fists clenched as they both saw Drowzee, and rushed out, leaving Bidoof confused. 
"Look, there's Marill! Marill, where's Drowzee and Azurill?!"
"I...I don't know, they suddenly disappeared to Mt. Bristle..."
"Cinder, let's go!"
"Of course!" Aster and Cinder rushed off toward Mt. Bristle, fighting off nidorina and nidorino among a few other pokémon. As they reached the peak, they saw Drowzee threatining Azurill before Cinder threw a stick at Drowzee, getting his attention.
"Well, well...What have we here?"
"We're Team Hiken! We're here to Rescue Azurill and take you in!" Drowzee looked a bit shocked.
"A rescue team, chasing me here this is...Huh...pfft...I see...i'm your first ever outlaw is it?" Cinder flinched a bit as Drowzee smirked. "Yeah, I'm an evil outlaw...but can you two diaper wearing babies take me out...even that Riolu looks like his legs will give out, he must be pretty badly disabled or beaten up. Not even fully recovered...Can you two even beat me?" Drowzee began to laugh before feeling a punch that sent him sliding as Aster used force palm.
"Let me set the record straight. I'm incontinent, my legs took damage as well...but Cinder and I are ANYTHING but babies. Wanna talk tough, Drowzee? Fine, bring it!" Cinder blinked in surprise at how brave Aster was and steeled herself and got into position to fight Drowzee. Drowzee kept trying to use hypnosis and confusiong to defeat them, but even with Aster's legs, his speed dodged the moves as Cinder kept using faint attack and Aster used force palm. Eventually confusion hit Aster and as Drowzee got close to use pound, Aster felt a surge of power and made a bone club appear that he hit drowzee with like it was a sword, knocking Drowzee out cold. 
"Whoa...Aster what was that?"
"I'm not sure Cinder...But seems I don't have the ability to make it appear on will, not yet. Anyway, let's take drowzee to the police and get Azurill back to Marill. As the brothers hugged, Magnezone rewarded team Hiken with 3000 Poké, but of course they only got 300, they sighed but agree they did a good thing. They ate dinner as always and got changed before bed, Aster laid back and felt his whole body ache.
"Ugh...that whole event, along with the adrenaline has worn off...My whole body aches now, Cinder." 
"I hear you Aster...You know your ability...that dream about Azurill being in trouble...It helped us today. I do wish our share was bigger for the capture of an outlaw but what can we do...at least we got a bag upgrade, more space. You know, it was storming like this the night before we met...Hmmm...No memories yet?"
"No, still nothing."
"Hmmm...Maybe that ability and you being a human turned pokémon are related? I mean...I don't know you as a human, but you must have been a good person. I guess it's good, since more and more bad pokémon are popping up due to time going out of whack, all due to the timegears. They serve a very important function, without them time in the area would stop completely..."
"Stop completely? There's no way..."
"There is, it's why everyone makes sure to not disturb them. Anyway we better get sleep, night Aster."
"Night Cinder..."
Meanwhile...in a forest.
"...Do my eyes decieve me...No, this is infact a time gear, the first of many...Soon, I can complete my mission." A grovyle grabbed the time gear and rushed off, as time slowly began to slow down. Whatever the Grovyle's plan was...it was not a good one.
