#9 of One-Off Stories

Caelum, a luxray with a stressful life, desperately needs a way to relax and find that happiness that he misses from being a kid. Thankfully, a sneaky mew happens to be listening in as he thinks this, and has a wonderful solution for him! All it takes is a little reality warping and he'll find himself a happier shinx than he's ever been before...

Caelum padded forward, his tail swishing behind him lazily as he strolled along the path leading home. The luxray's bags laid across his back, a bit heavy, but not too much for him to handle, aside from his paws getting a bit sore by the time he made it back to his apartment with all of his groceries. It was a bit late out, sunset was starting to approach, and the amount of other people walking around was starting to wane. Around the time of day he always liked to finish up his errands - the peaceful walk home was therapeutic to him.

As he walked slowly down the park path, his gaze slowly looking around at the sights and sounds around him, he let out a contented sigh, even with the bit of strain from the weight over his back. He could at least appreciate the calm of this moment and enjoy it, outside of the daily stresses of classes, work, and all of the social obligations that came with being an adult. It might suck, but at least small moments like this could bring back the feeling of serenity that he missed. As much as it would be nice to be a kid again, he could at least manage all of the stress of adulthood.

'Well, isn't that a cute thought to overhear!' the psychic nearby thought to themselves, floating through the trees. A shimmering outline in the fading light was all that was visible of the small, catlike pokémon who flew above the path, keeping their appearance hidden from passerby. After all, pokémon of myths like themselves couldn't just walk around in the bright day! Have to keep a bit of mystery, especially when you have so much power!~

_ _

They followed along above the luxray below, listening in cheerily to their inner monologue. What a sad adult life he must have! And the poor luxray was so close to realizing that he could have that childhood back, if he just embraced that little shinx in the back of his head! It was already there... and he would be so happy! Just like Mew is happy!

_ _

The legendary pokémon drifted overhead, their handpaws happily bapping away silently at the big, poofy diaper between their legs, holding a giggle to themselves. They really wanted a new playmate... and it was so hard to find pokémon who wanted to play with them, which would be so fun if they would just do it! Sure, there were some pokémon who liked being little and diapered like them, but they didn't have the right... the right spark!

_ _

But the luxray... he was perfect! So perfect!! All they wanted was to cuddle and play with them in their playplace for a long long time, but he was holding onto all of those dumb grown-up thoughts, and he didn't even know he liked being a little shinx yet. It made Mew so grumpy to see such amazing playmates not embracing it, but Arceus always got grumpy whenever any of the legendaries used their powers to mess with other pokémon's lives...

_ _

But Arceus always did end up forgiving them whenever they turned on their baby doll eyes, and sometimes even let them have playdates with the new friends they made if they wanted to...

_ _

Maybe they could just make that little shinx voice a little bit louder, that would be okay, right? He already liked it anyways! It's not too big of a deal! And he wouldn't do any more than that!

_ _

As Caelum stepped out of the gentle park path, approaching his apartment, he let out a sigh, knowing that he needed to climb up all of the stairs just to reach his small room. Even when he finally got there, he'd have to put it all away, and then he'd get to finally relax. With... probably some boring video games or finding something mediocre to watch.

'Well, he could always look for a fun toy to play with, or put on a cartoon!' he thought, a small grin coming to his face for a moment as the thought about it... before he felt a bit confused, not sure where that'd come from. He didn't exactly have any 'toys' other than video games, and a cartoon? He hadn't really watched any cartoons since he was a kid.

It would be nice to go back to simpler things like that, but he'd probably get bored with them pretty quickly now that he was older. Though... he couldn't get over the fact that it still made him feel a bit of giddiness when he thought about it. Maybe he could try something like that sometime - revisiting something fun from his childhood.

As he reached up and turned the knob of his door, he stepped inside and carefully set the bags that were draped over his back onto the ground, taking a moment to stretch and let out some of the tension as he made it home. He dragged them over to the small kitchen setup near the door, starting to put away groceries methodically as he hummed to himself.

Mew felt a bit grumpy as they carefully teleported into the luxray's apartment, looking down at him as he kept doing boring adult stuff. He just shook off the idea of playing with fun toys and watching cool shows! Who wouldn't want to do that?! They floated lazily across the small room, looking over the sad state of it. Such a small, cramped apartment, and everything had such boring colors! No fun toys to play with, nothing pretty to look at, even the bed looked uncomfy, and didn't have big crib bars!

_ _

The legendary pokémon watched as the luxray finished his chore of putting away all of those groceries, before stretching once more and making his way over to a chair set up in front of a computer - one designed for a quadruped like him to be able to use. Taking the initiative, they carefully tinkered just a bit more with that shinx in his head, making it a bit louder for only a moment.

_ _

_ _

As he sat down at his chair, finally ready to relax after a long day, Caelum felt off for a moment. His chair felt a bit more uncomfortable than usual - or maybe he was just noticing it now that he was already in a bit of pain from the long walk. He could really use some kind of cushion to sit on. Maybe he'd remember that whenever he had the money to buy one.

Now, what to do... As he pulled up his computer to look for something to watch and turn his brain off for a bit, nothing really looked good. All the same, boring things that he never felt like watching, interspersed with advertisements for a bunch of different things that he didn't care about. Food brands and restaurants, online stores, diapers, d--... Caelum couldn't help but blush as he saw the diaper ads. He'd always had at least a little fascination with them, even since he was younger, and he couldn't deny the temptation to just... buy some sometime. They made ones for adults, and he could probably wear them...

Mew lazily looped around above the luxray, looking around his room for something fun and interesting to play with. Why did it have to be so boring here?? It took all of their effort to not let out an annoyed sigh at how stubbornly Caelum was pushing away the idea of being little and having fun as they searched for something to mess with.

_ _

As their eyes scanned over the desk that the luxray sat at, deciding it was too boring and unfun, they quickly made a few alterations, making sure to give a little soothing over in the luxray's mind so he wouldn't notice anything was off. And he'd like it a lot better like this! All those boring big kid things on the shelves replaced with cute, smiling plushies and toys!

_ _

Caelum finally settled on something to watch, before glancing up with a minor bit of confusion at his desk. It felt a bit strange for some reason... but it had always looked like that, right? His plushies were right there where they were supposed to be, the stuffed pokémon looking down at him with a smile as always. He couldn't help but smile back a bit bashfully, before reaching up and pulling down his eevee plushie in his mouth. He set it down on the desk just in front of him, positioning it so that it could watch the video with him, a bashful smile on his face.

He'd always had an affinity for plushies, a few from across his childhood sitting across the room. Cuddling them and keeping them close gave him a lot of comfort in his otherwise sparse home, and he always loved having eevee around - his favorite. He started up the video so that they could watch it together, cuddling his eevee plushie against himself as he did.

The videos continued on as he relaxed with his plushie, cuddling him close. He leaned over with his maw to pick up his drink, feeling a bit strange in his mouth as he leaned back to drink from it, the tip of it seeming a bit different than he remembered. But... it was always like that, wasn't it? Yeah, a special kind of cup designed for quadrupeds to help not spill. Sure, it looked a bit like a kid's sippy cup, but he got over that a while ago. Weird déjà-vu there...

Mew almost couldn't stop themselves from giggling as they twirled around above, invisibly watching and listening in on the luxray's thoughts. He really did wanna be little, they were right! All it took was a little reality warping and he jumped right onto it! Ooh, they could do so much more to make things even better for him! Just a few more tweaks, maybe? ...They could just put on the baby doll eyes for Arceus later, and the luxray would want to keep playing anyways!!

As Caelum stood up from his desk, picking up his water cup, he stretched, letting out the tension across his body. It felt nice to just relax after a long day with his eevee plushie. He padded across the room, propping up his forepaws on the edge of the counter where he set down his cup, glancing up at the mirror with a double take.

He... wasn't sure entirely what was wrong? He tilted his head this way and that, looking across his features, feeling like something was off, but not finding anything of note. The luxio's face stared back at him in the mirror, the same puzzled expression shared across his reflection. Shaking his head to clear his thoughts a bit, he just made his way over to the refrigerator to look for a drink. Maybe he just wasn't used to being back in this body?

He never really wanted to evolve into a luxray, he'd stayed a luxio for a while before he felt too pressured to try evolving, only to find that he didn't really feel comfortable in that form - it didn't feel like him. So he talked to some people and got some devolution spray a while back, and got back the body he felt much better in. Sure, he was a bit shorter, but it felt nice, and much more like how he wanted to look and feel. He'd done that a while ago though, a bit strange to have a moment like that in front of the mirror even now, but he shook it off.

Opening up the fridge, he looked over what was inside before grabbing out some juice, and bringing that over to his juice cup, pouring it in carefully. Screwing the lid back on and putting away the juice, he made his way back over to his computer, once more scooping up his eevee close to him to cuddle as they watched videos together, occasionally taking sips from his cup.

As Mew continued listening in on his mind, occasionally exerting a little bit of control on it, the giggling in their head seemed to seep over into the luxio's attitude, drawing happy giggles from him as he watched his computer, playing with his eevee plushie as he did. It was all just so fun! They'd be such good friends! Just a little more, and then Mew could introduce themselves, and they could play together! They wanted to play with him so bad, to have a new playmate!

_ _

Caelum felt his tummy grumble and realized that he hadn't eaten anything in a bit. Deciding he should go look for something, he hopped out of his chair once more, walking back into his little kitchen area and looking through the groceries he'd picked up earlier today. He didn't really feel like anything in particular, it all seemed so boring... ooh! Maybe some macaroni and cheese! He liked that.

Taking out a small cup of instant macaroni and cheese, he filled it with water and reached up to his microwave, feeling like it was a bit higher than he remembered. He should probably move it down closer to the floor where it'd be easier to work with. Taking note of that, he walked back over to his desk, picking up eevee and bringing him back over into the kitchen to wait with him.

He sat with his plushie, looking at the microwave on the ground ahead of him for the 3 minutes he had to wait, watching it slowly spin occasionally while playing with eevee, humming to himself. He caught his own reflection faintly in the door of the microwave, seeing the shinx smiling back at him, and for some reason he couldn't help but let out a giggle.

As his food finished, he took it and his plushie back to his computer, where a cute, happy show was playing, sitting down on his comfy chair and eating away at the yummy food he made. Wiping off his face, he leaned over to get a drink, tipping up the sippy cup as he drank out of it before setting it back down, offering a drink to his plushie too.

Caelum's mouth felt a little weird as he got back to watching videos with eevee, looking around his desk confused, before he figured it out. His pacie! He quickly leaned over and scooped it into his mouth, suckling away at it happily. Much better!

As he sat with his plushie, happily watching his shows, he suddenly felt a strange warmth growing where he was sitting, confusing him as he looked down, before realizing that he was wetting himself without even thinking. He started to quickly panic, tossing off the blanket that covered his lower half, before freezing in confusion as he stared between his legs, where a big, poofy, blue diaper was wrapped around his waist.

He tried to think for a moment, and he couldn't remember why he was so worried there. He must have forgotten he was padded up! After just a moment, Caelum let out a breath and let go of the tension he was holding, his diaper becoming plenty soggier than before as he wet it. He couldn't remember putting it on when he came back from shopping... he must have padded up before going to the store today!

He sat back down on his wet diaper with a happy squish, letting out a cute giggle as he did. He always liked the feeling of a soggy diaper, ever since he got past his fears and started wearing them again. It was scary to do at first, but now he wore them almost all the time! It was comforting, just having them there around his waist, and he always made sure to keep a nice stash in his closet.

As his mind drifted back from thoughts about diapers, he tried to remember what he was doing. The video he was watching was getting boring, he just wanted to listen to something while playing. But he didn't know what to play with! He just wanted to relax in littlespace and do something, but he couldn't think of what to do...

"Do you wanna play with me?" a voice said from close to the entrance of Caelum's room, causing the shinx to reflexively jump back in shock as he turned towards the door, frozen in place. Floating just inside of his room was what looked like... Mew? The legendary pokémon?!

The mew in his room was carrying what looked like a coloring book with a box of crayons, and cradling a charmander plushie under their arm. But what was most apparent was the massive, poofy, pink diaper bulging out between their legs, with no other clothes on them. They seemed entirely unashamed as they floated just a bit closer, an inquisitive and hopeful look on their face.

"None of my friends wanna play with me, and I was bored... but you seem fun to play with! ...Wanna color together?" they asked, Caelum looking at them with a bit of confusion, before feeling a bit of childish glee overtaking him at the prospect. Playing with a legendary pokémon? That sounds fun!

Caelum hopped out of his chair, bringing his eevee plushie with him as he walked over to where Mew was floating, looking up at them. "Um... sure!" he lisped from behind his pacifier, not even realizing that it was still there in his mouth before talking, feeling a bit embarrassed about that, though the mew didn't seem to care as a smile lit up their face.

"Yay!" they said, spinning in the air, a bit of pink psychic energy surrounding them for a moment as suddenly a mostly unused corner of Caelum's room was now taken up by a playmat, which the mew floated down to, sitting down on their poofy seat and patting the place next to them for Caelum to join them as they set down the things they were holding.

As Caelum walked up, a bit of a waddle in his step from the diaper keeping his legs held slightly apart, he sat down next to the mew and watched as they set out the coloring book, opening up the crayon pack, and setting their charmander plushie across from them, leaving room next to it for Caelum's eevee plush, which he set there with a smile.

Mew opened up the coloring book, flipping past a bunch of messily colored pages before coming to a new one, this one featuring a lunala floating in the night sky with a bunch of solrock, lunatone, and minior. The book must be legendary themed, the shinx thought to themselves, seeing Mew pull out a few different colors, gesturing for him to do so as well.

He hadn't actually played with a coloring book in a while, and using crayons with his clumsy paws or his mouth wasn't a skill he'd practiced very much, leading to some messy coloring wherever he was working on, but Mew didn't seem to mind. They were coloring without too much regard for the lines themselves, despite their paws being much more suited for it, and giggling all the while. Their laughter was a bit infectious, and Caelum couldn't help but giggle in glee as he colored away, enjoying playing with them!

A small part of him felt like he should probably be confused about why a legendary pokémon randomly decided to have a playdate with him, but the much louder little part of him was too excited to have a new friend! They were just playing together, and they were really nice and friendly, and fun to play with! He just kept coloring with them, because he was having fun!

As they colored together, Caelum heard a faint hissing, and noticed the mew next to him let out a gentle sigh as they wet themselves, Caelum blushing a bit at it. Mew didn't seem to be bothered by it, simply giggling before getting back to coloring quickly. As he squished around in his own soggy diaper, Caelum continued suckling on his pacie as he started to wet himself again, sighing himself as he let out the pressure he felt.

After a bit of coloring, the two of them were finished, looking over the pretty picture they made together! Caelum felt happy as he looked at it, looking over at the giggly mew floating up next to him.

"That was fun!" they said, conjuring a pink bubble to bounce on as they talked. "Playing with you is tons of fun! Do you wanna play more?" they asked, drawing a smile and a nod from the shinx next to them, who'd taken their plushie back to cuddle with.

"Well, we can go to my playplace! It's tons of fun there!" Caelum was a bit confused at that idea, before he watched the mew start to use their psychic energy once more, creating what looked like a portal in the middle of the shinx's room. Caelum froze in confusion as he looked at the glowing pink ring, through which he could see what looked like a little's paradise.

The place was massive, with a big, colorful puzzle piece playmat, with tons upon tons of toys in a playground. Places to climb up to higher levels, with slides leading back down, and all kinds of fun things filling up the entire place - including big doorways that led to even more rooms!

"But... to let you in, I gotta actually ask you..." the mew said bashfully. "Arceus gets mad when I play with people without telling them about everything..." Caelum was confused for a minute about what Mew meant, before suddenly feeling dizzy as he realized everything that had happened. As he looked around his room, it had changed quite a bit from what it looked like when he walked in just an hour or two ago. And he'd turned into a shinx!

All of it had... been changed... by Mew? He felt a bit strange, wondering what had even happened to him, gradually piecing it together.

"I can change it all back if you wanna, but when I ran into you, I could feel all of your thoughts a lot stronger than anyone else's. The little shinx in the back of your head that wanted to play, but you weren't listening to him..."

Mew seemed a bit embarrassed about what all he'd done without Caelum's permission, but they seemed genuine about that at least. "I wanted someone to play with! And you wanted that too, you just wouldn't believe it if I told you... so I showed you! But I can change it back and let you go back to being big if that's what you want... Or we could play more together?"

Caelum had to think for a minute. He really had been a lot happier in these last few hours, and he really had wanted to do things like this for a long time, he was just too scared and always pushed it away. But... he still had a life to live here that he couldn't just leave behind. He didn't want to lose all of it. As he was about to bring this up to Mew, they suddenly started talking again, as if they could read his thoughts.

"You don't have to only come play with me forever! Arceus makes all of my playdates end at a good time, they get mad whenever I play for too long. I just... want a friend!" they said with a bit of exasperation, presumably aimed at Arceus, seeming a bit grumpy.

"I'll be your friend!" Caelum offered with a smile, surprising the mew with his forwardness. "I can't play forever, I've gotta come back sometimes... but you seem like you're fun to play with. And I do like this, and I don't wanna give it up again and go back to denying it..." As he looked back up bashfully, he saw a massive smile covering the legendary pokémon's face, who started looping around in joy in the air.

"Yay, yay, yay, yay, yay! Let's play!" they said, diving through the portal with glee and flying around inside. As the shinx looked around their small, sad room, they looked back towards the portal to the massive playground, making a decision in his head. He wanted to live out his fantasies for once, after so long of pushing it down.

With a breath, he scooped up his eevee plushie and leapt through the portal to a playground of his dreams, to spend time with his new friend. He could come back to normal stuff later, after his playdate.

Hopefully Mew could help him change his soggy diaper once he went in there...

Zeke reached out and roughly pushed Joshua forward a step, the far too terrified sheep demon seemingly unable to take the last few strides into the room ahead of them. The imp sighed as he brought a hand up to his temples, his spear-pointed tail...
