Chapter 20:

Tyson stirred. He felt a cool gust of air on his head, that gave him the chills. Putting his arms around himself, he opened his eyes and sat up.

"What the…" he trailed off as a he looked around. He was in a padded crib in the corner of a small white room, and he could see cribs in each of the other corners. He looked down at himself to see that he was almost completely naked, save for a large white diaper around his waist. Confused and a little bit freaked out, he turned his attention to outside of the bars of his crib.

Looking over at the other cribs, he could see three others in each of them. He would have thought they were Cyrus and the twins, but these kids were bald, so it couldn't be them. At least, that is what he thought, until he saw his reflection in a mirror by his crib.

He was bald. It wasn't that his head was shaved, all the hair was completely gone. Tyson's jaw dropped at this realization, prompting him to scream.

"WHAT IS GOING ON!?" He yelled, awakening the others.

"Ugh, calm down Tyson. It…is…" He heard the familiar voice of Cyrus from one of the others, who was now assessing the situation they were in. "…What the fuck…" Was all he said, looking around in shock. "Where are we? And what happened that got us here?"

"Why are we naked!?" They heard Annie say from one of the other cribs. It didn't take a genius to realize they shouldn't look, so both the boys looked away. "AND WHY IS MY HAIR GONE." Audrey belted, a stream of tears starting to come down her face from the realization.

"Alright my little darlings, rise and shine!" The four of them heard a voice say, distracting them from freaking out. "You adorable babies have a big day today, so we need to get you ready!" It said, as the bars on their cribs lowered, allowing them to walk out into the center of the room.

Tyson and Cyrus kept their eyes away from Audrey and Annie, knowing full well not to dare peek. Though they could both hear crying, no doubt from the girls since their long hair had been completely stripped from both of them.

"Whoever is doing this is a monster." Tyson muttered, as the twins hugged each other, still forming a river with their eyes. "I know that the two of us can cause problems, but why make them suffer as well?" He asked Cyrus.

"No idea. But I get the feeling we won't be going anywhere anytime soon. For now, we are going to have to play it by ear and see where this goes." He replied. "Though I can guarantee we are going to hate whatever happens."

"I already hate this." Tyson replied. "My head is bald and I've got nothing but a diaper for clothing. But I get the feeling that won't last…"

"Alright cutie pies! Hope you are ready to be all dolled up for a day of fun!" They heard the voice say. Before they could do anything the floor beneath them started to descend, taking all four of them down. This got the twins to stop crying as everyone looked around, worried about what would come next.

The circle they were standing on lowered into another room, where four Pokémon were waiting for them. They were all Kangaskhans, and each one stepped towards them, towering over the four of them. Each one was wearing a uniform, and had a bundle of baby clothes in their arms

"These my precious little ones are your own personal helpers! They are going to help make you all stand out as adorably as can be! Isn't that great?" They heard the voice say, making all of them back into each other, afraid of the massive Pokémon and what they could do.

Before any of them could try anything, the Kangaskhans picked up each of them, placing each child into their respective pouches. They each turned around so they couldn't see one another, and began to dress them. There was a lot of protests and squirming out of the kids, and for good reason. The outfits themselves were horrendous, and no sane Pokémon would ever make their child wear them.

After some time and effort, the Pokémon had successfully dressed each of them, and turned back around so they could see one another. Everyone was lifted out of their respective pouches and set down, though everyone was too paralyzed with embarrassment to really move.

Tyson was first, and was dressed in a disgusting neon green onesie. He had a blond wig shoved onto his head, which was covered up by an overly frilly bonnet, that was a very loud neon yellow. His hands were clad in neon yellow mittens that ran up to his shoulders, and his feet had booties of the same color on, which ran up his thighs. To any random passerby, he could be mistaken for a sunflower.

Next was Audrey, who was wearing a rainbow-colored baby dress. The dress had multiple colors running in two directions, on the main part of the dress, and on the skirt. It had huge poofy shoulders, a big bow on the back, and a massive petticoat that spread itself so far out that she couldn't see her legs. She had a hot pink head of hair that was tied into two pigtails with two huge, rainbow colored bows. On her feet were rainbow striped leggings and hot pink mary janes, while her hands were free, with rainbow nail-polish. If she liked rainbows before, she probably didn't anymore.

Then it was Cyrus, who had on a Piplup themed outfit. He had a short red hairdo and a Piplup hood on top of it. He had a pair of overalls on that resembled a Piplups body, while his arms were crammed into two blue flippers, making his hands useless. The overalls stretched all the way to his feet, which were shoved into two yellow flippers, making it even harder to walk for him than before. If he wanted to move anywhere, he'd have to waddle.

Finally, there was Annie, who may have had it worst of all. Where her sister was coated in rainbows, she had on a sparkly gold dress, that also failed to hide her large diaper. It shimmered and shined every which way, with trails of silver along the skirt. She had a black wig on that was tied in a bun, and had a sparkly tiara resting on it. Her hands were covered by frilly white gloves, while she had short white socks and sparkly gold heels on her feet. She was more comparable to a trophy than she was a human being in that outfit.

"Oh, don't you all just look wonderful! And now for one last important part before the main event" They all heard the voice said. Each one of them was too busy trying not to look at one another to notice the Kangaskhans lean in close behind them. The four Pokémon each plopped a pacifier that matched the corresponding outfit into each of their mouths. Tyson's was neon yellow, Audrey's was hot pink, Cyrus' was yellow and resembled a Piplups bill, and Annie's was diamond-like and sparkly.

Before they could try and spit them out, they all heard a ding sound from somewhere in the room. Suddenly, the sucking part of the pacifiers swelled inside their mouths, making them impossible to spit out. They all freaked out and tried to grab at their pacis with their hands, but were soon stopped by the four Kangaskhans, who picked them up and placed them back inside their pouches, and marched out of the room side by side.

Terrified and humiliated, the four of them held their attention forward as the Pokémon walked down a hallway. None of them wanted to look over at each other, lest they wanted to feel even more embarrassed about what they were wearing.

At the end of the hall there was a screen the Pokémon stopped in front of. It turned on to show a familiar face; Ms. Mandible. "Oh, isn't this just great? I have four truly adorable little models for my latest outfits! I can't wait to show you cuties off!" She said, as the Kangaskhans turned and separated, Tyson and Audrey going one way, and Cyrus and Annie going another.

It's that psycho that's doing this!? Oh God no… Tyson thought, as his and Audrey's Kangaskhan came to a stop outside of two doors. Tyson's Kagaskhan took one while Audrey's took another, and they ended up inside a single room. The rooms walls were made of glass except for the wall the door came from, so Tyson could see that he was inside of one of the exhibits of Pacified Perfection. OOOOOOH FUCK.

He was taken out of the pouch and set down on the floor, which was littered with baby toys. Right in front of him was a baby bottle filled with formula and a note labeled 'To my Dainty Flower'. Seeing nothing else he could do, Tyson fiddled with the note with his mittens before opening it up.

To my Dainty Flower,

It was so nice of you to say such nice things about Pacified Perfection. I am so happy you passed the modeling test with the IQube! I am proud to have such an adorable model agree to work for me. I hope you have a great time showing off all of my latest in infantile art! And don't worry, you can go home when I feel you've worked enough. But if you misbehave or spread mean lies about me or the store, then I might just have to ask you to come back for more…

Love, Ms. Mandible.
