When you feel safe, you want to stay feeling safe. The higher the danger around you the more desperate that feeling becomes. When you start to tunnel-vision like that people tend to forget obvious warning signs an alert individual would notice right away. Things like "Its standing water, it could be contaminated," or "they had me cornered, why didn't they follow?" If you live through the situation, other people love to tell you how stupid you were for not thinking. The problem with that is that it is other people looking into the situation with hindsight. Believe me, it takes an exceptionally cool mind to be able to focus in a situation that you feel there is no way out of. Even people with several years more experience than you can fall into that trap here and there. The bottom line I'm trying to make here is that the safer you are the less likely you are to think about the consequences...

Life soon settled into a routine for Lucas, a sense of normal that he was all too eager to embrace. During the day the two boys worked on trying to get the house in order to receive their guests. Chores that would normally take a human a few hours to complete were suddenly herculean tasks for both of them. They decided to tackle the rooms together, one day at a time. Sydney hoped that they would finish all the important rooms before their guests arrived by the next week. Lucas would never admit it out loud, but working on the house was actually kind of fun. It was a pain that so many things they took for granted was much larger than either of them, yet there was some kind of giddy excitement every time they figured out how to make something work. Except when his tail got sucked into the vacuum cleaner. That had been a painful AND embarrassing experience for all parties involved.

Other days they worked on repairing some of the damage to the house. Even though Sydney's house had escaped the graffiti and most of the violence of the rioting afterwards there were still some areas that had to be looked into. Lucas was knowledgeable in home repair thanks to the odd jobs he did for Barkeep. As useful as the information was, it was limited; enough to make patch work repairs around the house. Without a way to deal with the problems for good they would probably have to do it for weeks to come until they ran out of supplies to do so or the damage became too extensive to do anything about.

They would take a break in the afternoon, either watching movies on the T.V. or eating lunch on the roof which was accessible through the attic. When they were up there, it was easy to forget that things had fallen so out of control. During these times Lucas allowed himself to relax, enjoy the company and not think about the future. Sydney would often talk about how life was for him before he ended up as a Pokemon. He had an average life, his father working at one of the many stadiums in the city. He brought the Trapinch that would later become his Pokemon after his Trainer had abandoned it after a particularly crushing loss. The trio had lived happily until a day before the rioting started, his father had never made it home and then that is when Hunter attacked him. Lucas rattled off about his own life though he kept several details out. He was sure that Sydney figured that out after the second afternoon, but he was polite and never confronted him about it.

After taking a small break during the afternoon, then came the evening classes which Lucas verbally loathed. During the night Sydney taught Lucas the ins and outs of what their work would entail. Naturally apprehensive about it, Lucas was surprised by how much Sydney was responsible for. As he explained before what he did was closer to running a bar than a brothel. He took orders for food, served drinks, played music and even had manage to get the T.V. to play movies. While they studied, Sydney found that while capable Lucas was limited walking on four legs. As much as he railed against it, Sydney wasn't moved. The Rattata would have to learn how to walk on two legs if they were going to make things work. For the rest of the week, the night classes were about getting him to walk bipedal. The few attempts that Lucas had done on his own had helped, but progress was still slow. The day that Sydney's guests were supposed to arrive came then went. Then another week after that, before long they were halfway through the third week. Sydney was worried that something had happened as he assured Lucas that the Pokemon that were supposed to arrive were never late. Glad that what he felt was future embarrassment was being held off Lucas told his friend not to worry so much about it. Sydney reluctantly agreed, but the classes didn't stop. After all that meant that much more time to practice.

"Can we please take a break? My thighs feel like they are being seared off!" said Lucas.

He stumbled over to the couch and flopped against the armrest. The poor boy was sweating so much that his fur was matted to his skin.

"No wonder it's such a big deal when a baby walks. This is exhausting!" he groaned.

"If it helps you are doing much than when we started, you nearly got all the way across the living room that last time," said Sydney.

"I guess learning to at least keep balance helped back when I was at my apartment, I gave up when I just couldn't walk without falling over on my face," said Lucas.

Sydney sat down next to Lucas, offering the bottle of water they used to cool down. Thanking him, Lucas drank nearly the entire bottle in one long gulp. He sat the container down to his left and leaned back up against the couch.

"What I wouldn't give to jump around in that rain for a bit,"

A storm had blown in that morning which canceled their morning activities for that day. Since they had no idea now when their appointment would be, Sydney deemed it too big a risk as they could get sick. Without knowing if human medicine could work on them, they agreed it best to preserve their good health as much as they could.

"You know what's funny? Remember that old cartoon, Four Cats and a Mouse?" said Lucas.

"How old are you? That cartoon is ancient! I don't think even those smarmy classic networks show that anymore," giggled Sydney.

"The guy that took care of me had a box set collection. I used to watch them when I was younger after I got home from school. Considering I got punished a lot took me nearly three years to get through the entire thing," explained Lucas.

"Oh okay I get what you mean now. Thing is what does that have to do with us?"

"I was just thinking of one of the last episodes. The cats had given up on trying to catch the mouse and just decided to try getting along with each other. You and me like this sort of reminds me of that. A cat and a mouse sitting together when nature would say we probably would be at each other's throats," said Lucas.

Sydney leaned over and licked Lucas on the cheek, causing him to flush.

"H-hey! What did I tell you about licking me out of nowhere like that?!" said Lucas, trying to wipe the saliva off his face.

"I couldn't help it, you just say some of the cutest things sometimes, besides this is the first time that you've seem to let yourself relax since you got here," said Sydney.

"Idiot," Lucas grumbled, he finished off the last of the water and breathed out a satisfied sigh, only to have the bottle freeze solid in his grip. He stared at it in confusion for a moment before tossing it on to the floor.

"Sheesh again? You really need to get a handle on controlling that ice breath of yours," said Sydney

"I can't help it! It just comes and goes when it wants! I didn't even know Rattata could learn ice type moves!" Lucas complained.

"You're a normal type now, they can learn all sorts of moves. Normal types may not be able to pump out the raw damage of the other types, but they can deal with many different situations," said Sydney.

"I know, just this is still odd. I mean I don't think a Rattata can learn an ice move naturally. Thing is I know I haven't done anything to learn it so why is it happening?"

"Do you think the Froslass that changed you did something?" asked Sydney

Lucas went quiet at that thought, the dreams had started again not so long ago. Yet this time they weren't sexual, she would sit there eyes constantly watching him. It was numbing cold each time, he would have no voice when he tried to speak. Nearly every time when he woke up the Froslass would speak one word.

"Leave"

When he started losing sleep over it, Sydney had coaxed the reason out of Lucas and eventually learned about the previous set of dreams as well. As it was a source of distress, both avoided the subject most of the time.

"If she did do something then what did she do to me? First the dreams of just wanting to be with her, then I know moves I shouldn't then the dreams again?" he put his paws on his head "What if I'm possessed or something? Like she's trying to break me down in some way so she can eat my soul or something,"

Lucas felt arms wrap around him, Sydney starting to nuzzle into his chest. "Shh, you will be okay sweetie, we'll figure something out about this okay? It won't do you any good to get like this so just relax, we'll get through this sweetie,"

Almost immediately Lucas felt the worry that was building up start to melt away. He returned the hug as well. He wasn't sure what about Sydney's presence that calmed him, each time he was happy to have him there with him. Lately he wasn't sure how he felt about him, he felt good around him and a yearning when they spoke or were close. Sex had become nearly a daily occurrence, sometimes happening twice or three times. Sydney was almost always the aggressor for it, a small bump or a nudge was often all it took. They would switch positions from time to time, more often than not Lucas found himself catching and he didn't mind it at all.

It was strange, just that each time he found the things coming out of his mouth during their intimate moments disturbing, how much he wanted, begging for it, screaming when he came. He was surprised how into he got, how much he LIKED it. Even the maid outfit he had to put on didn't bother him so much anymore. The fabric did feel nice against him, especially how the panties hugged his hips and rump. The only thing better was how Sydney rocked his as well, the way it hugged around him it...

"Somebody thinking naughty things?"

Lucas snapped out of his stupor, blinking at the Meowstic hugging him.

"Wh-what are you talking about?" said Lucas.

Sydney pulled himself up against Lucas so they were eye to eye. His hips pushed up against him, making Lucas VERY aware that his sheath had started swelling his cock was nearly out on top of it.

"What have you been thinking about hmm? Didn't we suck each other off just this morning? Seriously you are insatiable sometimes," teased Sydney

"The same can be said about you, I mean seriously bending over like that the other night and wiggling your butt when it was still..."

Sydney gave him another lick, this time on his nose. "You didn't exactly ignore it, you didn't say no either when I took my turn either,"

Lucas knew what was happening, whenever he saw that mischievous glint in Sydney's eyes what happened afterward was inevitable. His heart started to pick up speed, thumping so hard that he was sure that his partner could feel it. Sydney purred, moving his licking a little lower making Lucas turn his head up, a soft moan coming from him.

"We should get your mind off of that ghost for a little while. I mean don't you think it's kind of romantic how we're together like this? It's raining outside, you and me together keeping each other cozy. I rather like it,"

Sydney pushed their lips for a kiss, the rush of warm sensation through his body caused Lucas to jerk a little bit. He kissed back, closing his eyes as his paws found their way to their favorite place, on top of his soft ass. He dug his claws in, feeling the skin give just a little bit.

"We haven't done anything on the couch yet, maybe we should start your cool down exercises," suggested Sydney.

In response to that Lucas turned his head away the burning feeling he could feel in his face making Sydney snicker.

"It's so cute that you still blush when we talk about sex. I would think you would be used to it by now," said Sydney.

"I'm allowed to be embarrassed about a situation if I want. I mean I..."

Looking down at the uniform still filled Lucas with a little bit of dread about what his future role was going to be. He had come to terms with what he had to do, just thinking about doing it for others still made him feel queasy. He was snapped out of his thoughts when he got another lick on the cheek.

"Do you mind if I get to go first this time? I really like the progress you've been making with your mouth lately. You can say that is my favorite trait about you,"

Sydney scooted back on the couch a little showing off his own length. It was already at full mast with a trail of pre rolling down one side. Watching as it traveled down Lucas tongue licked over his lips briefly. He couldn't stop himself, he started to lean forward, staring right at Sydney's bobbing length in front of him.

"How did things get like this?" he wondered to himself.

"What's the hold up Lucy? It's not going to suck itself you know," chided Sydney.

"Who the hell are you calling Lucy? I'm sucking you off, that doesn't mean you get a ticket to call me whatever you want," fumed Lucas.

"Sorry, it sort of slipped out, I didn't mean anything by it sweetie honest!"

Sydney held up his arms and gave an innocent look. Lucas didn't exactly buy it, yet he couldn't hold on to his annoyance for very long.

"You get this one time, after that I'm applying my fist to your face every time I hear Lucy," said Lucas.

"I promise I won't call you Lucy again," said Sydney.

Nodding his head Lucas began his approach again. He gulped once to prepare himself before he leaned in and started licking over the head. The small sigh he heard from Sydney showed that he was enjoying it. Lucas had learned that his partner liked to take things slow at least with the foreplay at least. It was a bit of torture to Lucas as he had found he rather enjoyed oral. Anytime he did it for Sydney he would get so hard that it hurt. Even now he could feel his cock slipping out of his sheath, eagerly dripping pre on the couch cushions.

"Come on, you're not going to get at anything if you just tease it like that. I know you want to swallow the whole thing right now sweetie," cooed Sydney

Lucas wished he didn't have to acknowledge that as true. There were times when he wasn't sure if these sessions were truly needed or he was looking for any reason to indulge in his new vice. Having someone who was willing and able to have sex at any moment was intoxicating. No trying to woo a girl that he was interested in and no settling for a plain girl when he was half drunk off his rocker.

In the days leading up to the first visit from Sydney's guests, it was hard to think of a time when they didn't enjoy each other's bodies. The more that he let those thoughts wiggle their way into his mind he was swallowing Sydney's length. He was halfway done by the time he realized what he was doing.

"Wait I didn't mean to do that yet," he thought.

Looking up he saw the Meowstic's head was rolled back, mewling in satisfaction. His hips made a small jerk pushing more of his cock down Luca's throat. The motion used to make him gag as it would hit the back of his throat. When it happened Lucas pulled back a little bit and allowed Sydney to get control again before he started bobbing slowly.

"You've gotten so good at this, you're going to make a lot of people happy sweetie," said Sydney

As he spoke Sydney's cock jerked and squirted a little pre on Lucas tongue. The taste was usually pretty plain though today there was a small hint of the juice they had been drinking earlier. Finding that he liked it Lucas started sucking a little harder, closing his eyes so he could concentrate on the taste, the texture and how nice it felt to swallow a huge load of it.

In his eagerness he had stepped forward again, now his muzzle was firmly pressed up against Sydney's waist. Lucas moaned softly finally allowing his lust to overwhelm his apprehension about the act. Sydney showed his approval by petting his head slowly. Starting from the top of his head to the nape of his neck.

"That's it sweetie, go on suck on it a little harder for me. Use your tongue too..."

That had never really occurred for him to do, Lucas looked up with a questioning look at Sydney. He didn't need to speak is question causing Sydney to nod.

"Think about it when I do it to you. If you use your tongue while sucking someone off it can create a nice dual sensation,"

"Your tongue feels like sandpaper, that is the furthest thing from pleasant that I can think of," Lucas chided.

"Didn't stop you from blowing in my mouth in three seconds last night," Sydney shot back.

The story was only semi-true. Lucas had been walking around with a tiny egg vibrator wrapped around his dick. Some kind of endurance training that Sydney came up with as they had a lot of work to do with the outside of the house that day. Lucas had to hold in his load all that morning. It got so bad it was hard to even stand. When Sydney finally took it off and started sucking him off he came in seconds from the odd sensation of his tongue on the skin.

"If you want to make jokes we can stop you know," said Lucas

"Like you want to stop, you love it when I shoot my cum down your throat,. Its cute watching you swallow it all down like it's your favorite meal,"

The description sent a shiver down his spine for two reasons. One was that it was spot on, it was his favorite part about sucking Sydney off. The other reason was how much he had come to enjoy it in the short period he had been doing it. The first time he actually got Sydney to cum through oral he had gagged on the taste. Now he couldn't get enough of it...

Putting to rest any further thoughts, Sydney gently pulled Lucas in again. His hips started to smash against his muzzle. Grunting and mewling as he enjoyed the feeling of the warmth of Lucas mouth. The mouse was doing his best to follow the advice he was given, wiggling his tongue around the sides of the cock and the underside of it. His own dick which was all but ignored was now leaking a stream of pre on the couch cushions.

"I want it so bad, I've never gotten this bad about it before," Lucas thought. There were so many conflicting emotions running in his mind. He wanted to do this, yet he didn't want to be a slave to it. Every day it was getting harder to listen to that part. His hips were wiggling, hoping for the chance for Sydney to push his thick fat cock into his ass again, make him scream as he came.

The thoughts usually occurred during sex, lately they seemed to be coming doing day to day activities. If Sydney so much as hinted at the possibility of sex, Lucas would practically throw himself at the chance. The squirts of pre were coming more often now, Sydney's hips had slowed to a grind keeping himself pressed up against the muzzle of his partner. Knowing this was one of Sydney's tells before he came, Lucas closed his mouth a little tighter pulling back so when he shot his load most of it would hit his tongue.

The cat's breathing was picking up rather fast, tension building up in his body as each tug sent a sensation up his back. His paws held on to Lucas ears for purchase his hips losing the steady grind and going back to thrusting as hard as he could hoping to spill his cum into Lucas a little faster. He twitched and pulsed between those lips, his breathing catching in his throat more, panting growing heavier, until that shock of tension, that deeper pulse, and afterwards that tip began spurting rope after rope of his seed whilst he moaned. Lucas eyes closed again as the ropes started to fill his maw.

The living room seemed to have most of the sound sucked out of it. All Lucas could hear was the whimpering moans of Sydney. The sound of his own heartbeat and the noise of each swallow of his treat. When it was finally over Lucas slowly pulled back, watching the last of the cum rolling down Sydney's dick. He had to show considerable restraint to keep himself from going over to lap it up.

"You actually took it all this time, I'm honestly impressed with you," Sydney pets at Lucas head, rubbing from his head down his neck and over his back. The feeling of the paw caressing over his body was electric. Lucas found he followed the motion, pushing his head into the paw and lifting his back and butt along its path not too dissimilar to how a cat does it.

"Eager too, I don't know if I can though. You sucked me off so well I don't know if I can go again," said Sydney.

"Wh-what do you mean you don't think you can go again!?" The sound of his voice came out far more desperate than he thought it should have. The strange longing for sex roared into a demand to have it. His cock gave a painful pulse in its demand to be satisfied. Sydney shrugged

"I'm really sorry, just it felt so good in your mouth I just sort of let go. I didn't think I was that pent up,"

"Come on, there has got to be something I'm desperate here!" complained Lucas.

"Hey, come on sweetie you know I would never leave you hanging. I wanted to have a little fun with you," Sydney pats Lucas with his paw which he moves south until it is resting on his pulsing red arousal. The simple touch caused the afflicted mouse's hips to jerk upwards pre gushing out of the tip.

"Look at all this coming out of you. I'm hardly even touching you and it looks like you are about to burst," said Sydney

Lucas head twisted from side to side on the armrest, his hips jerking and threatening to buck in Sydney's grip. What was with him today?! He never felt this turned on before. No it wasn't that it was like he was driven to get off or something more primal than even that.

"Shh don't worry sweetie, I'll take care of you," purrs Sydney. He takes some of the pre that Lucas was so generous in providing and started to slather it all over his tail hole making the mouse squeak and squirm. The need was started to become a burning sensation almost like he was melting. What was happening to him?

"Hot..so...so hoot..."

He tugged at the collar of the maid outfit, his face breaking out in a sweat making the garment feel sticky and clinging to his form. Sydney gently pulled his paws away, spread his legs apart and scooted himself between Lucas thighs. The grin on his face got bigger the look in his eyes was hungry. It looked off to Lucas, something was wrong something was very wrong but when Sydney started pushing inside, the head of his cock starting to gently spread his entrance open the relief he felt scattered those thoughts immediately.

"You have a really slutty look on your face right now Lucas, how does it feel that you have been turned into such a slut for me?" The voice wasn't kind anymore it was mocking. "To think you were so reluctant when we first met yet it didn't take much for me at all to get you raising your tail for me did it 'sweetie'?"

Lucas mind swam for a moment, making it difficult to even get simple thoughts together. Alarm bells were blaring in his mind, he could tell he is in a bad situation but he couldn't shake it. It was like the will to maintain self-preservation was being sucked out of him. All he wanted to think about was the hot cock thrusting into him, sending shocks of pleasure up his back. He moaned shamelessly, cock squirting pre over himself back arching as he tried to find an angle for Sydney to push deeper.

"That's it, don't fight it this is something you wanted, something you craved and came to me for. I'll make sure that you are a proper happy little Pokemon. No need to hold on to anything you remember..."

The voice is low, menacing and sweet like honey. It was almost like Lucas was getting drunk off of it. His body was feeling like it was stuck in something soft, the taste of something sweet was in his mouth and he realized there was some cum there that he hadn't swallowed yet. Swiping a tongue over his lips he found that it tasted even better than it had just a few moments ago.

"Aww are you hungry sweetie? Don't worry you'll have plenty of chances to swallow my cum as well as how many decide to use you. Doesn't that sound good pet? Being such a naughty maid for anyone that decides to dump their sweet cum down that throat of yours?"

"Y-yes..I..I want it.."

The words felt good when he said them, he wanted that feeling to feel a hot thick cock in his throat. One sliding up his ass and fucking him from both ends. The more he thought it was like the images were coming to life in his own mind. It felt like there was a cock down his throat right there and he opened his mouth reflexively tongue working to please the phantom flesh.

"Hmm, good pet sweetie, just a little more now.." With muscle that Lucas didn't think he possessed Sydney managed to pull him up and on his lap. The new angle driving the entire fat cock deep into him making the mouse throat back his head cock buzzing with its barely contained orgasm. Words spilled out of Lucas before he had a chance to think about them.

"More, harder I..I'm so close..."

"Almost there Lucas, one last thing to do,"

Lucas felt something digging into his head, there was a twinge of something. Something that made him feel that it wasn't supposed to be there. Once again a good few pumps from the cock within him made Lucas forget why he thought it was offensive at all. There were images, people he knew places he had visited. It was like they were picked up and tossed into oblivion. The twinge returned when he saw someone he knew, one he was close to but when they were tossed away he couldn't be bothered to remember who or what they were.

His own hips rocked and bounced on top of the Meowstic, the clapping of their hips making an odd echo in the living room. His paws rested on Sydney's shoulders tail curling and uncurling. He was right there he just needed a little more...

For a few frightening moments it seemed his world shut down. He felt no sensation, no breath or sight. It was like being floating in an abyss where there was no escape and Lucas found it wasn't so bad. The sensation of orgasm felt distant the resulting scream sounded like a distant moan. Everything just felt serene, quiet and consuming. His thoughts felt like they were drifting away, names, faces and things he thought he should know no longer seemed to hold any importance.

Right when he felt like he was going to sink into the feeling of peace entirely, a cold wind promptly slapped him in the face. Lucas coughed and sputtered a little bit trying to fight for his breath. When he opened his eyes he found the second to last person he wanted to see.

It was the Froslass, the one that got him involved in all this.

"Y-YOU! I what..." Lucas fell into coughing and sputtering. The ghost Pokemon set him on the ground and waited until he caught his breath.

"What do you want...?" coughed Lucas

"For the person that just saved you from having your mind wiped clean I think I deserve a thank you!"

Naturally confused by what she meant, Lucas looked around for Sydney worried that he was in danger. As his eyes began to adjust to his surroundings the only thing he could see around him was snow drifting in the void around them both. Turning back to the object of his indignation and confusion Lucas spat out his questions.

"Where am I? How are you here?"

"We're in your head Lucas. That 'friend' of yours nearly turned you into a mindless doll. Glad I left a piece of my soul in you to keep an eye on you," said the Froslass a little smugly.

"A piece of your soul? What is this Tauros shit? Ghost Pokemon can't do that!"

Lucas felt a thump on his head and an uncomfortable amount of chill ran through his body afterward stunning him into silence. He gave a Mareepish look to the woman and muttered an apology.

"I'm going to assume that is the near death experience talking and I'll let that slide. Ghosts can leave a bit of their soul within someone to act as a kind of mild protection so to speak. There are some strict conditions to that though,"

"Conditions like what? I mean you had to have met them if you are here. Actually WHERE are we anyway?"

"Sorry I don't have a lot of time here, now that I saved you this part of me is going to get snapped back soon. As for where we are we are inside your mind,"

"M-my mind...?"

Now that he was thinking about it Lucas took a look around. As far as he could see there was nothing in all directions aside from the snow.

"What is going on what is happening?," Lucas looked up and pointed at Froslass "Why did you do this to me!?"

Froslass sighs and nods her head "I can't say how sorry I am that I let that happened to you. I went to find you but when the corruption hit me I couldn't control myself,"

As much as he wanted to take some satisfaction from the dejected look on her face after the confession he found he couldn't. "Why were you looking for me in the first place?" asked Lucas to change the subject.

"I'm not exactly sure, the area around that place is familiar to me and when I saw you something in me just wanted to meet you. At the same time the corruption was within me and I think it twisted it somehow. When I woke up I was too scared about how you would react but I couldn't leave you alone. So I left a part of myself inside you to at least give you some sort of protection until I sorted myself out. I never would have thought it would be for something so serious,"

"What exactly happened to me? If this is my head shouldn't it be full of stuff? Why is there only snow?" Said Lucas.

"Sydney is trying to erase your memory. I wasn't able to stop it completely, just enough to prevent him from rewriting your personality entirely." explained Froslass

"Like in mud..." trailed Lucas "What do I do then? I mean he has to know that he didn't get everything right?"

He looked around at the empty landscape around him and shuddered. He felt like there was a void in his heart. How much had Sydney stolen?

"I think he covered enough to be satisfied, a few memories are a lot easier to sneak through then many. However I think the mental suggestions he put in your mind are still here and they will still work. If you completely give in to them I can't save you again," warned Froslass

"How do I get out of this then? I mean if he decides to go poking around and I can't keep him out..."

She puts her paw on his cheek, a deep feeling of warmth spreading from it. "First you need to stop worrying about what could be. Focus on what you can do now and the rest will follow okay?"

The words felt warm in a way different then the effect Sydney had. It brings comfort rather than a wild heat. For some reason the words seemed to resonate with Lucas. They stirred a memory at the back of his mind that he felt would have been a struggle even without the mind jacking. As the image of the Froslass faded Lucas managed to choke out one more question.

"Wh-who are you...?"

She gave one last wistful smile as the drifting snow starting to conceal her visage

"I wish I knew that myself little mouse,"

**

When Lucas woke up he found he was clutching one of the pillows of the couch. His face felt wet and he was sure it wasn't for the activity he had been engaged in. As he took stock of himself the stink of sex was all over him and for the first time in a while it made him gag. Resisting the urge to get up immediately he listened intently. He heard Sydney's voice and felt his heart seize up. He was close, did he know that Lucas was still in his right mind?

"So we're all done securing the area then? About time, I was getting a little tired of being out here,"

There were pauses in the conversation as though he was speaking with someone. How was he doing that? Lucas knew for a fact that the phone was dead so it couldn't be that. The answer sprang up in his mind a moment later. Of course Sydney had to be using psychic power to speak with someone it was the only thing that made sense. Disengaging from his thoughts he went back to eavesdropping

"I think it is about time we head back to the Garden, with this area secured we can start focusing on taking care of the stragglers in that big human building. Oh the reason I've been gone for so long? I found this cute little human turned Rattata, I couldn't help but turn him into another one of my dolls,"

There was another pregnant pause for a moment.

"Alright, you want me to look out for a Dratini? Why do you want me to do that? I may as well try to catch a Shaymin while I'm at it. Huh think it was with that one human we're looking for? Alright sure if the pay is right?"

One last pause followed by a low whistle "That is a lot of cash, sheesh what did this human do? Nah don't tell me, I'll keep an eye out while I'm on my way to meet up with Bella and her group,"

Feeling it was a good time to roll over, Lucas turned to face Sydney trying to ignore how much his butt hurt. It had been a feeling that he used to welcome, now it was just a dull reminder how bad his situation truly was. Sydney looked mildly surprised that he got up on his own. Sydney walked over and touched over Lucas face.

"Huh didn't think you would get up on your own so quick. Eh, no skin off my own at least you work," said Sydney "It's a shame I can't keep you, you've been the most fun project I had in awhile and probably one of the best mouths too. You really know how to work a tongue sweetie,"

A sensation of warmth bubbled up in Lucas chest and a moan was dragged out. He felt himself getting hard and the urge to thank Sydney dominated his thoughts for a moment. Was this what the Froslass meant? It was so strong that if it wasn't for the warning he probably would have given in right there.

"Heh, going to miss those cute noises too," he sighs and wags his paw at Lucas as though dismissing him. "I can't hope to look at you without thinking about it. How about you go upstairs and get yourself cleaned up? After that we'll start getting you fitted in your proper uniform,"

Lucas didn't answer, afraid that if he was under properly if he would have the ability to do so. The gamble is successful as Sydney turns away from him and heads toward the kitchen. If he was that confident then Lucas had figure that he probably had done this many times before. He walks slowly towards the stairs and when he was sure he was out of sight he bolted up the stairs and into the bedroom with the bathroom. When his heart stopped pounding he slide down on the floor holding his head as the weight of everything that happened started to crush him.

He was in the middle of some kind of fucked up sex trade with someone that he thought was his friend. How long was he in his head? Were his thoughts his own even now? Lucas shook his head it would be bad to let thoughts like that take root. At the very least he had a goal this time, he had to figure out a way to escape and do so quickly. Considering how thoroughly Sydney had him under his thumb before it probably wouldn't take much to do so again. Taking a few deep breaths Lucas headed to the bathroom to get himself cleaned up. A thief with a goal was a very dangerous thing after all and Lucas considered he was very good at the craft. After all watching and waiting was a crucial part of it and even if he had a serious handicap Lucas knew he could find an opening if Sydney was as confident about his skill as Lucas was starting to think.

Lucas had to find a way out, freedom and his mind deepened on it.
