Finally, we got into the base as I saw the bed. Man, it looked so inviting as I yawned and slowly dragged my feet over. Gosh, what a day! Let's recap! I get turned into a human while being awake, something I will do again if needed but rather not. I got pelted…. No…. had a rock DRILLED into my temple by King. He then threatened to beat me up. I get introduced to the leader of my new home, only to be challenge him on saving a child's life. We then go on a rescue mission with the strongest rookie that's tied with Sasuke, the Square bully, and a famous and hated pickpocket. Oh, right, I got taken hostage by him. We fight some battles, including a huge Ariados that poisons me. When we get back, I have to save the pickpocket's life from being blamed for a crime he didn't do. I almost get banned from being a Rescue Team member, end up getting saved. Now I have the top Pokémon watching me and a girl who might be in love with me. What a happy place…
And that was only paragraph one…. Geez, one heck of a first day. I watched as Naruto collapsed on the bed to my right as I laid down next to him. Sasuke chuckled at us as we smirked.
"Bunch of lazy bums, you two are…" he teased us with a smile.
"Hey, give me a break…. Your Pokémon world is so energetic… I barely survived a day here," I smirked as I rebuttled back.
"Ah, you'll get used to it sooner than you think. Besides, you're an electric Pokémon," Sasuke said as he folded his arms, "There's a rumor that Electric types have more physical energy because electricity is a powerful form of energy and their bodies live with it."
"So, technically, you're like a living battery!" Naruto said happily, as his tail wagged, hitting my legs as the result.
"I'm too tired to tell if that was a teasing remark or a compliment…" I said as I yawned in sync with Naruto.
"Ahhh…. We had an awesome day with our new brother and my tummy is full… this day couldn't get any better…" Naruto said as he began to try to fall asleep.
"Oh? I guess you don't want a belly rub then," I said as I rolled over onto my back and yawned.
Suddenly, before I could finish my yawn, I felt a huge thud on top of me. I opened my eyes suddenly to see Naruto laying on me with an excited grin. He panted as his tail wagged faster.
"You would give me a belly rub? Oh, please, Thomas! Can I have one? Please? You give the best belly rubs! Pretty please?" he begged with those sparkling cute eyes that I love.
I grinned and sighed as I said, "All right, let me sit up."
Naruto said 'YES!' under his breath as he got off me and I sat up. I looked at him with a smile as he got ready for one of my belly rubs.
"Okay, sit with your back on my chest," I said.
Naruto slowly walked over and then turned around. He then sat on his behind and let his hind legs lay in front of him. He leaned into me with a comfortable and content sigh as he relaxed his body. His fur was so warm against mine. I… just still don't comprehend how my Pokémon body can feel so at peace with this. But for now, I will love it.
"Okay, here I come," I whispered gently as both my paws touched Naruto's belly and rubbed in circles.
Soon after feeling my paws on his belly, Naruto began to close his eyes and wag his tail slower as his head leaned back and rested against mine. His front legs rested on my arms as he moaned and grunted with every scratch I added to the belly rub. A dreamy smirk came across his face as his hind legs kicked a bit.
"Ohhh…. Ohhh, that's…. mmm…." Naruto could barely say as his tongue hang out.
"Hehe. While you're keeping him occupied, Thomas, I'll lock our base up so we're safe while we sleep," Sasuke said.
He walked to the entrance and locked the door. As he began to check on the windows to make sure they were locked, I felt Naruto began to grow weaker in his hind legs' kicking started to slow down with every rub and scratch. His face was completely written over with happiness as he began to become more limp like a piece of string.
"Mmmmmm…. Pleeeeeeease dooooooon't stooooooooop…." He quietly whispered to me as he finally stopped moving and rested in my arms.
It just proved to me how much he loved and trusted me. From a scared little Poochyena I rescued at that alcove to this… I could never have felt any happier than I did right now. I felt pride swoosh up inside of me; a Pokémon loved me and wanted to be with me. It's just… there's this pride as a human when a Pokémon deems you worthy enough to be his/her/its friend… partner… FAMILY. And I was so proud to be Sasuke and Naruto's brother.
My thoughts were caught off by a certain happy-whimper from a certain Poochyena. I looked to see Naruto take a huge deep breath and sigh, but cause his lips were closed, his lips did that car impression kids do sometimes when they're silly. Sasuke and I laughed at him, as he could only have the energy to make a exhausted smile. He turned his head to my neck and with the last of his energy, gave me weak licks to my neck. His tongue was wet and warm as he panted when he licked. After about five licks, he stopped and nuzzled his mouth into my neck.
"Thoooooomaaaaaaas…. I looooooovee yoooouuuuu…." Naruto weakly whispered.
"I love you too, Naruto," I said softly as he closed his eyes.
With that, I caused my older brother to go to sleep from belly rubs and scratches. He went completely limp in my arms as Sasuke chuckled and walked over. He slowly helped me lay him down as he grabbed my blanket and covered him up. He made snoring sounds as Sasuke smiled.
"He really thinks you're something else. To be honest, when we first met you, he's the one that warmed up to you first. I said that we had to be careful, but he's the one that said that we could trust you immediately," Sasuke told me.
I gasped, smiled, and looked at my sleeping brother as I chuckled, "That's our Naruto, all right."
"Honestly, he really adores you. In fact, he's the one who probably begged the most for you to come with us to Jirachi," Sasuke said with a smile.
I giggled at my brother as his left ear twitched. Sure, he had irritated me earlier today with that Zoey comment, but I did love him. I chuckled at his little face as he giggled at his dream.
"Well…" I heard Sasuke say as he sat behind me and grab my face gently, "Now that Naruto's turn is done, you're next."
Suddenly, I felt Sasuke's paws scratch my cheeks where the red circles were. Oh wow, did that feel good! You have no idea how great that felt. He kept scratching as I slowly grinned and leaned back into his furry chest.
"Hmhmhm, so you like your cheeks scratched, do you?" Sasuke said softly.
"Mmmmmmmm…."
I literally tried to say 'I do', but the feeling was so good, it prevented me from using words. Maybe it is how Pokémon feel when they're petted, scratched, and rubbed in a good way. They're unable to have the energy to speak or do anything, because they enjoy it so much. I grinned as I went limp in Sasuke's arms. My brother chuckled as he kissed my forehead.
"If you're tired, brother…. You can go to sleep. I don't mind," he whispered in my ear.
I moaned in comfort as he slowly started to slouched me so that when I did fall asleep, he'd slip me next to Naruto under the covers and then join himself. I yawned as he nuzzled my neck. I nuzzled his right paw right back. I smiled as he giggled. It was then I started to become sleepy. My vision blurred, and my body went limp. I then remember giggling as Sasuke licked the top of my head.
"Good-night, Thomas," I barely heard as I drifted into sleep.

As I opened my eyes, I looked around to see I wasn't in the base… I was in this green and blue dimension… I didn't understand where I was… I looked around to see if I could find Sasuke and Naruto…
But I was alone… I didn't understand…. Where was I...? I was floating and dizzy as I looked around… Was this something… I needed to know or understand at all…?
Suddenly… I saw a huge flash in front of me… I guess… that was the sun… wow…. Are we already in daytime…? I didn't…. understand what's going on…?
Suddenly… I saw a form…. No…. two forms floating with me…. but… they weren't Sasuke and Naruto…. They were bigger…
They turned to me… and called out…. But I couldn't hear them… not loud enough… and when I tried to call for them… suddenly, I was slowly fading away from this dimension…
I guess…. Only time will tell… when I realize what this weird experience meant….
