Chapter 15: the daycare incident
To say alex was nervous is an understatement well he is straight up terrified and zenith could see the expression on his face as she walked to the company daycare and she didn't like to scare her cub. "Alex sweety it's a private daycare patients are not allowed in here" zenith said bouncing alex gently trying to get the man in her arms to calm down and as much as alex hates to admit it zeniths attempts to calm him are working.
"But mum why can't i just go to the meeting with you?" alex says now clinging to zenith as she approaches a poliwrath receptionist "ah zenith a pleasure to see you" the male poliwrath says shaking zeniths free hand. "Hey paul hows my sister?" zenith says smiling "oh your sister is doing great she just got her masters oh and this little guy must be alex i saw on the news loden wouldn't allow interviews" pauls says and zenith giggles.
"Well my husband knows how to control a crowd, but yea this is alex my little cub i am just putting him in the daycare for an hour 2 at most just call me if something happens" zenith says handing alex to paul but alex was clinging to her shirt.
"Alex sweety mummy has to go to a meeting" zenith says wanting to hug alex but knew she didn't have much time and the little whine that escaped alex's mouth broke her heart as she manages to get alex to let go. "Il only be an hour darling" zenith says leaving for her meeting.
"Hmm who knew the hunter was such a mummys boy" paul said as he carried alex into the daycare a blush on alex's face he really didn't like this he could handle being babied by zenith or loden but not other people.
Alex was put down onto a carpet and alex scanned the room and could see well a lot of humans he could say about 20 ranging from ages 18-44. alex didn't know what to do he never really knew what to do in a social situation.
"Alex?" a familiar voice says as dave walks over to him and sits cross legged in front of him "oh dave it's you glad to see someone familiar here, actually why are you here?" alex asks. "My daddys one of the chefs here" dave says smiling "well he is pretty good at cooking" alex says back laughing a little.
"Anyway why are you here alex?" dave asks and alex sighs and begins to explain and after an explanation that took about 10 minutes dave was wide eyed "aren't your parents rich enough to afford a babysitter or something?" dave says.
"Yes but mummy and daddy want to spend time with me and i guess they just get pulled into meeting if they are there, i understand they have a company to run" alex says shrugging.
Meanwhile with zenith:
As zenith sat down at her seat for the presentation she took her phone out and patched into the camera feed to the daycare and saw alex talking to who zenith assumed was a new friend and sighed in relief.
As a rapidash walked up to the head of the table zenith instantly knew this meeting was going to be about the treatment of team rocket and acultist members. "Now i have called this meeting today to talk about the treatment of our team rocket and acultist patients" the rapidash says making the entire room of doctors, nurses and board members groan.
"Oh what you don't care that we are treating them like animals? Strapping them down to their beds and-" the rapidash says being interrupted by zenith who stood up, "il make you aware that those team rocket scum attacked my home last night and one of my sons scouts died by a team rocket sniper" zenith said staring the rapidash down who then drew in a breath.
Back with alex:
"There are that many people who imitated me?" alex says in surprise "yea you were like a replacement champion why wouldn't people mimic you" dave says and alex looks down at the ground. "I only targeted acultist and team rocket targets i never went after government officials and the police" alex says and dave puts a hand on alex's shoulder "humans take things out of proportion remember you are human too" dave says.
"Alright boys and girls snack time" a lopunny says as she walks in with a electabuzz co-worker and lay snacks on a table, "come on before all the good snacks are gone" dave says getting up and quickly getting to the table. Alex tried to stand up but he was unsteady and he began to fall "oh, oh OH SHIT!" alex cries out falling over hitting his elbow on a toy ambulance oh the painful irony.
Hitting his elbow didn't help because alex just cursed louder "MOTHER OF FUCKING GOD MY WENIS!" alex cries out grabbing onto his elbow "and that must be alex" the electabuzz says as the lopunny walked to alex and separates his arms. "Now alex we don't use that sort of language ok you are going to have to sit in time out" the lopunny says picking alex up and carrying him towards a chair that sat facing a corner and alex saw that his prosthetic came loose.
"Now stay here for 5 minutes for that potty mouth" the lopunny says setting an egg timer and sitting alex on the chair "bu-but" alex stutters out "butts are for sitting on" the lopunny says walking away. Alex needed his leg back so he rolled off the chair and began to crawl towards it only to be picked back up by the lopunny "and the timer resets" the lopunny says sitting alex back on the chair.
Alex felt ashamed that a oversized cotton swob just put him in time out he was not going to make bedtime easy for zenith for this so the process of alex being put back in the chair was repeated another 7 times until the lopunny had enough. "Alex do it 1 more time and it's a spanking you can't have a snack until you have taken your punishment 1 more time and it's a spanking" the lopunny says looking alex dead in the eyes and alex gave a serious stare back.
"At that i have 2 words. Fuck and you" alex says locking eyes with the lopunny who then picked alex up and put him over her knee with alex balancing on his stomach the lopunny pulled his trousers and diaper down butt on display.
Now to say alex was cocky he never expected the lopunny to actually do it and alex had to admit getting spanked hurt more than being shot it was like getting shot multiple times… in the butt and alex held back tears and kept his jaw clamped shut.
"Now what do we say?" the lopunny says pulling up alex's diaper and sits him in her lap alex didn't want to say he just wanted his leg back "well then we will repeat until i hear it" the lopunny says picking alex up. "I am sorry ok there are you happy" alex says on the verge of tears he really had to talk to a doctor about getting this drug out of his system but he noticed the lopunny was satisfied.
"Good boy now you can have your snack" the lopunny says lowering alex to the ground as dave walks over holding alex's leg "guess your argument didn't have a leg to stand on eh?" dave said and alex eye rolled as he blinked tears away. "That joke was awful" alex said taking the leg and clicking it back into place "hey can't an old merc have his jokes lets just hope gertrude doesn't get her vines on you" dave said helping alex to his feet.
"Whos gertrude?" alex asks biting into a cookie that he thought was chocolate chip but spat it back out when it turned out to be raisin as a serperior slithers in. " MARGARET, ISHMAEL GOOD TO SEE YOU DARLINGS!" gertrude says hugging the lopunny and electabuzz with vines.
"Gertrude we told you to stop doing that" the electabuzz says choked by the hug "that's gertrude we better hide" dave says and alex agrees and they attempt to sneak away. As the lopunny walked over to the door that alex spotted "ok little ones time to play outside then it's lunch time" margaret says ushering the humans outside.
Alex and dave wondered outside and decided to hide in a bit of pipe that was apart of a play area that was sized up for adults "also one question" dave says confused "shoot" alex says. "What in the name of god is a wenis?" dave asks and alex gestures to his elbow "the skin on your elbow is called the wenis" alex explained and dave looked impress at the parlor trick like knowledge.
"So you come here every day? And you put up with these guys? You must have the patience of a saint" alex says and dave chuckles "yeah but you need to be near suicidal to mess with gertrude. And that isn't a challenge" dave says. Suddenly another human crawls into the pipe with a fearful look on his face "what's wrong man?" dave asks "gertrude is looking for the new guy and she wants him now" the mid 20s man says panting.
"Why on earth would she be looking for me?" alex says and dave bites his lip "well lets just say she is the head of the daycare department she isn't a doctor or a nurse so she doesn't have to go to meetings, she just likes to be thorough with newcomers" dave says and the 3 gulp when a vine reaches into the tupe feeling around.
"Oh hell no" alex says hurriedly scampering out of the tube and went face first into the serperior's chest if they have chests wait do noodles have chests? Anyway 4th wall breaks aside alex struggled as he was lifted by vines "ah you must be alex" gertrude says as alex kicked and struggled.
"Aw don't struggle i am not going t- aw little baby made wetty" gertrude said and alex looked down and blushed he had wet himself in fear "oh and margaret forgot to give you your trousers back that silly little puff ball" gertrude says slithering away.
"Hey i think i saw something like this before except it was with a tentacruel and a school girl" alex said sarcastically as gertrude changes his diaper and gave him a smack on the butt for that comment. "Babies don't watch videos like that" gertrude says going to recover alex's trousers as alex sits up on the changing table and jumps down and sneaks back into the playground.
"Congratulations you are not dead" dave says getting off a swing and going to alex. "It was just a diaper change i snuck away before the real torture" alex says and dave looks concerned "you just made it worse for yourself but either way let's just enjoy ourselves" dave says as alex and dave sat on a swing gently swaying.
After about 2 minutes of trying to relax a honestly to alex's opinion an angry and air headed man stomped over to where they were alex and dave were "so you're the one who claims to be the hunter?" the man say looking pissed and kinda smelled like it. "I never claimed it the news gave me that name" alex says being honest with it was the best way to go "you can't be the hunter, the hunter still has all his limbs attached" the man says gesturing to alex's leg.
"Wow rude" alex says and dave whispers in alex's ear "his name is dennis he is ex police and the local bully and gertrudes favorite" dave says and alex formulates a plan. "Me rude? No you soil the hunters name the real hunter would of resisted the babying the real hunter wouldn't just let pokemon put him in a diaper and put him out of action" dennis says stomping.
Alex honestly felt angry but he couldn't afford to lose it "listen here dennis i am the real hunter and if you don't remember i was hit head on with a bus i am lucky i wasn't killed" alex says and dennis laughs. "Great 2 bullies in 1 day so much for a relaxing day" alex thinks "if you are the real hunter you know how to prove it" dennis says getting into a fighting stance.
The other humans began to gather around the two boys and alex got a bad feeling about this "i don't want to fight you" alex says getting into a defensive stance the two warriors staring each other down. Well be it two warriors in children's clothes and infants garments.
Meanwhile with zenith:
After a long while of zenith yelling at the rapidash and firing him for incompetence and for being an asshat as well as wasting company resources zenith needed a new head for HR.
"well better go pick up alex" zenith thought to herself taking out her phone flicking through cameras to find alex and went wide eyed in fear and began sprinting towards the daycare alex was in trouble.
Back with alex:
Ishmael and gertrude charged towards dennis and alex as the two fought each other ishmael pulling alex away and gertrude taking dennis and alex saw that dennis was preparing krokorok tears. "BA-BA-BIG MEAN HUNTER HUWT ME!" dennis cried out and alex thrashed in ishmaels arms "I TOLD YOU I DIDN'T WANT TO FIGHT!" alex screamed out a little blood dripping from his nose.
"Now now calm down you two" ishmael says struggling to keep alex still but gertrude had dennis laying in a vine hammock "just keep that monster away from dennis" gertrude says gently rocking a fake sniffling dennis. And alex was about to make another statement when they heard the front door to the daycare being kicked open and zenith rushed looking around panicking and then sprints over to ishmael.
"WHAT HAPPENED!" zenith says hurriedly taking alex from ishmael's arms and inspects him for injuries "oh my poor baby boy and where are your trousers?" zenith says wiping the blood away from alex's nose and alex notices a panicked look on dennis's face. "Now what was going on i saw alex fighting and i know alex would never start a fight" zenith said and smiled a little when alex clung to her chest.
"Well we noticed that the children were gathered around dennis and alex and the two were fighting and someone of alex's reputation most likely caused it" gertrude says and alex looked up at zenith. "She is lying mummy you kno-" alex says as zenith puts a hand on alex's mouth "hush my cub i need to find out what happened" zenith says as she feels a hand tugging on the back of her suit jacket.
"Um miss embers ma'am i saw what happened" dave said when zenith turned to see dave "good a witness well who started the fight?" zenith asks. "Yea me and alex were sitting on the swings trying to relax when dennis challenged alex about him being the hunter then tried to fight him" dave says several other humans, even margaret who saw the incident agreed with daves story.
"And why did you not try to stop it?" zenith asks margaret and margaret looks at ishmael who nods then margaret look back to zenith, "mistress with all honesty gertrude tells us not to interfere when dennis is 'claiming territory'" margaret says and zenith looks at gertrude.
"Gertrude arbor explain yourself" zenith says eyeing the grass noodle "dennis is the most innocent thing ever he would never do it" gertrude says and zenith pulls gertrude close making sure they saw eye to eye. "My cub is bleeding minorly i have fired 1 person today and it's about to become 2" zenith said and gertrude stared back with the same fierceness.
It was 2 unstoppable forces clashing and zenith looked at dennis "dennis's care in this daycare is officially terminated inform his parents" zenith said walking away with alex in her arms and she noticed he was smiling. "OH and gertrude you are fired" zenith says and was stopped by margaret and ishmael "THANK YOU" they both say giving a respectful bow.
Once zenith got alex into the car she took a medical kit out and put a hand in it "ok alex i had a new medical device made but you may not like it" zenith said taking out a syringe. "M-m-mummy what is that?" alex says worried "after experimenting on deployment methods we have created the vita-heal syringe. All the power of 20 full heal potions in 1 quick injection" zenith says and the little whimper alex let out when she gave it to him broke her heart.
"There there cub" zenith says quickly hugging alex before buckling him in ready to go home.
