It was 8:30 pm as both girls stepped out of Nurse Joys office and into the now busy Pokemon Center. Trainers of all ages had gathered in the lobby as they stood in line to check in their injured Pokemon and receive their room assignment. A few interns rushed around trying to sustain order and keep everyone in a single file line. Emily noticed their attempts were futile as they were having about as much luck as if they were herding meowths. Emily wondered which would be worse, herding children or herding meowths as no one under the age of 16 paid the interns any mind.

"Oh, Anna, thank God you're here. We've been looking for you." One intern said who looked like she had her hands full trying to keep two boys from having a Pokemon battle inside.

"There's no way your Ivysaur can beat my raichu!" one boy said clearly agitated.

"Yeah, wanna bet? My three badges say other wise. So why don't you just run on home and talk to me once you've actually beaten a gym leader." The other said in a way that made Emily almost want to step in.

"I'll take you on, right here, right now!"

"Boys, please take it outside." the intern pleaded. "Anna, you're much more....scary. Can you find a way to control the crowd?" Anna? Scary? What's she going to do, hug them to death? Emily thought until she heard Anna yell that made her jump a foot in the air.

"EVERYONE!" Anna shouted at the rambunctious crowd. "PLEASE FORM A SINGLE FILE LINE IN FRONT OF THE DESK."

"Hey!" Emily heard from the crowd as she looked and saw it belonged to the girl from earlier. "It's that girl who peed her pants!" she shouted as Emily's face turned ghost white.

"Who?" someone asked. "Oh, I bet it's that girl in the sweat pants! Aren't those the ones they make you wear if you have an accident?"

"Yeah, you're right. And they actually let someone like that work here? I thought this place was supposed to have high standards. Apparently not." A man replied looking disgusted.

"No wonder her dad had to buy her way in."

Emily noticed a vain throbbing in Anna's forehead as she shook from anger and removed a tiny red and white ball from inside her pocket which immediately expanded in her hand.

"Emily, plug your ears." Anna whispered as she threw the Pokeball into the air and quickly covered her own as something that looked like a pink balloon jumped out. The staff looked apprehensive until they saw what came out and breathed a sigh in relief. That is until they realized what she was planning and quickly covered their ears as well.

"Jiiigggalllyyy Puuffff Jigggaalleeeeeeeeeee Pufff" the pink balloon sang as Emily watched in amazement as people started dropping like flies.

"Was it really ok to do that?" Emily asked as JiggyPuff ended her song and turned to Anna smiling as if to say "look what I did!". "I know they said some pretty mean things about you but.."

"Nobody insults my girl friend in front of me." Anna said quietly so that only Emily could hear as the few staff members that managed to take precautions in time approached.
Wait Emily thought as she tried to process what was said. It wasn't the comment about her dad that pushed her over the edge? That must mean it was about how they were dropping their standards by accepting someone who had accidents. Was she avenging me and not herself? Emily smiled as she put the pieces together.

"Well, I guess that's one way to control the crowd." the intern, who had been trying to keep the boys from tearing the place apart, said as she stepped in between a few bodies.

"Sorry, Sasha." Anna said while scratching the back of her head as she surveyed the damage.

"Just 'cause you're grumpy from having an accident doesn't mean you can just knock everyone out."

"I-I did not have an accident! Th-that was someone else!" Anna tried to say as her face turned bright red.

"Uh-huh, sure." Sasha teased. "Then why else would you be wearing the Pants of Shame?" she asked smacking Annas padded butt as a loud crinkling noise was heard making her diapers presence known to all who were awake. Hey, Emily thought, only I get to smack her butt.

"It's...complicated." Anna said moving her hands behind her to protect her butt from anymore swats.

"I'm just glad you didn't electrocute us all like last time." Another girl said from behind the counter.

"What happened?" Emily asked curious.

"Ahh, it was nothing. She doesn't need to hear about that." Anna said quickly.

"No, tell me!" Emily asked excitedly.

"Ok so this one time Anna got stuck with mopping the floors during a rainstorm. Right when she was almost done, a group of guys came in and tracked mud everywhere. She was so mad she sent out her pikachu, but because everyone and the floor was still wet from the rain, she managed to nearly electrocute everyone in the lobby including herself." Sasha explained. "Thankfully I was in the back. When I came out, everyone was on the ground twitching, even Nurse Joy."

"Hey, don't laugh." Anna said while pouting as Emily began cracking up. "It was my first year."

"That was really hard on your body, wasn't it, Anna? You were wearing those pants for a week." the girl behind the counter said as Annas face grew redder and redder. Ah, so this is not the first time Anna's been punished this way.

"So what do we do about them." Sasha asked as she waved her hand around the room. "We can't just leave them here all night."
"A jigglypuffs song doesn't affect humans like it does Pokemon. It only forces the person to sleep for 20 minutes or so. You can wake them up then." Emily explained. "Jigglypuffs are usually owned by people with insomnia who have trouble falling asleep on their own. By the time the effects of the song where off, your bodies own desire for sleep kicks in which keeps you asleep, not the song itself. The more tired you are, the longer you'll sleep after being exposed to the song.

"Huh, I didn't know that." Sasha said. "Do you know this from personal experience?"

"I read it in a book. I've only tried it once though."

"Did it work?" Anna asked.

"My babysitter sicked her jigglypuff on me when I was a kid when I wouldn't go to bed. She then drew all over my face while I was asleep. She even lied and said her jigglypuff gets angry when everyone falls asleep when it sings so it drew on my face. What kind of pokemon gets angry when it does its job?"

"That sounds like the gym leaders jigglypuff." Sasha said laughing. "So how long do you think they'll sleep for?"

"Everyone seemed pretty rowdy so they should wake up on their own after the forced sleep wheres off. For those that don't, I'd suggest using berries instead of trying to wake them up on your own."

"Berries?" Anna asked looking from Emily to Sasha who looked just as confused as Anna.

"People who are forcefully woken after a hearing a jigglypuffs song tend to be extremely disoriented and possibly even violent. It's common for boys to take a swing at the first person they see." Emily said. "I believe the recipe is 3 Chesto berries, 2 Persim berries and an Oran berry. Blend them together, get a rag and soak it in. All you have to do is wave the rag under someones nose a few times and they will naturally wake up without the confusion and violent tendencies." Both girls stood there gaping at Emily with blank stares. "What? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Who are you and why do you know all this?" Sasha asked dumbfounded. All three girls turned to see Nurse Joy giggling in the corner.

"I see you've met Emily." she said. "That's very smart, using the Chesto berries to wake them and the Persim berries to counteract any confusion. What's the oran berry for though?"

"For the smell. When you mix the two together it smells like vomit, the oran berry helps mask the odor. It's like adding flavoring to cough syrup."

"Emily is our newest intern who will be starting after a bit of training." Nurse Joy explained.
"Wait, she's the girl every ones been talking about? If she really scored a 98% what does she need training for?" Sasha asked as Emily's face turned pink as she understood what "training" Nurse Joy was referring to.

"Well, we should get going before the store closes!" Anna said grabbing Emily's arm and leading her towards the exit.

"Yes, I think that would be wise. In the mean time we'll work on those berries. We should have them in the back." Nurse Joy said. "Oh, and Anna."

Anna froze after hearing her name. "Yeah?" she said quietly knowing what was coming.

"Let's make it a week instead."

"Don't worry, Anna, we all have accidents sometimes!" Sasha called out.

"It wasn't me! Nurse Joy, tell them it wasn't me!" Anna pleaded as Emily led her out the door. Nurse Joy just smiled and waved as the two left.


"Ugh!" Someone yelled from the back. "It really does smell like vomit!"

"Man, this sucks!" Anna complained as the two girls crossed the street. "A week! You'd think she'd be more lenient since I didn't electrocute anyone this time!"

"I don't think that's the point." Emily said as she let Anna vent. "I think it's about you acting out in anger and using your Pokemon against people. Although I do appreciate you sticking up for me." she quickly added to appease Anna's foul mood. Should I tell her what I did? Emily wondered.

"I don't want you thinking you don't deserve this just because of a few accidents, which aren't even your fault to begin with! That medications very powerful, and to be given that large of a dose for that long, anyone would be having this problem. Unlike me, you actually deserve this internship! The only reason I'm even here is because my aunt faked my test results. No one knows we're related by the way. So don't say anything to anyone ok?"

"Sure, and thank you. For everything. " Emily said grabbing Anna's hand after making sure no one was around. "So I figured I should do something for you."

"You don't have to do anything for me."Anna said while pulling Emily closer.

"I already did." she said quietly.

"What do you mean?"

"I'll tell you later." she said as they entered the store. Anna grabbed a hand basket and headed to the back aisle where she knew they kept what was on Nurse Joys list. She looked over to ask Emily a question but noticed she wasn't with her. Anna just shrugged and figured she didn't want to be seen here as she started collecting the needed supplies. Emily was a few aisles over searching for something in order for her plan to be 100% successful. She found what she was looking for, grabbed the box of face masks and went back to Anna.

"What are those for?" Anna asked when she saw Emily slip them into the cart.

"It's not going to smell like flowers when we get back." Anna figured Emily knew what she was talking about and she finished getting everything on the list.

"Hey, what do think of these?" Anna said with a smile as she held up a package of training pants for Emily to see.

"Would you put that down?" Emily hissed until she saw the design. "Aww Evees."

"I knew you'd like them." Anna said as they headed for the counter as Anna dug in her wallet for something that Emily assumed was money as the man behind the counter began bagging the items. She was surprised when all Anna did was flash a black card as the man handed her the bags.

"Don't worry, Anna." the man said. "These things happen, nothing to be ashamed of."

"I did not have an accident!" Anna yelled back as she and Emily left the store.

"Wait, we didn't pay for those." Emily said trying to catch up to Anna.

"Don't need too." she said without offering an explanation.

"How come? Is it a perk of being an intern?" Emily asked hopefully, drooling at the thought of all the pokeball shaped chocolate balls she could get for free. "I think I'd get a caramel filled one first, followed by hazelnut, oh and the one with the milk center." she said thinking out loud.

"No, sorry. You should of said something though, I could have gotten you some." Anna said seeing the look of crushed dreams on Emily's face.

"Oh, bummer." Emily said sounding disappointing. "Then how come?" Anna didn't really want to explain, even though she thought it was obvious. Maybe who she was hadn't fully sunken in yet. She wanted Emily to like her for her, not for her fathers money. She was smart though, she'd figure it out anyway.

"My dad owns the store, all the stores actually."

"Oh, so that's why! So you can pretty much get anything you want for free since it's kind of already yours to begin with."

"In a way, yes." Anna said feeling a bit sad since she finally understood. Here it comes she thought. She's going to use me. She probably already knew who I was from the start and pretended she didn't. I wonder what she's going to ask me for first. Fire stones? Max revives? Rare candy?

"That's got to be tough." Emily finally said after a moment.

"Jeez, sarcastic much. For a second you almost sounded sincere." Anna said bitterly making Emily stop. "What?"

"I am sincere." Emily said looking a bit hurt. "Who would want that?"

"Everyone." Anna said not sure where this was going. Emily shook her head.

"Then everyone's stupid. I'm sure it does have its perks at times, but at what price? If it was me I'd never be able to trust anyone. I'd always be worried about whether people really like me or if their just using me. No wonder you didn't tell me who you were." Emily said as she watched silent tears fall down Anna's face.

"Y-you actually understand?" Anna whimpered as Emily hugged her.

"No, I don't think I, or anyone, ever truly could. Since day one there's only ever been one thing I've wanted from you."
I knew it! Anna thought bitterly. She knew who I was all along, what is this she's playing some mind game? She just lured me into a false sense of security and now she's admitting she wants something.

"You."Emily whispered into Anna's ear. "All I've ever wanted was you."

"I-I don't understand." Anna said.

"I want you to hold me, and I want to hold you. I want to feel your lips against mine, and I want to..." Emily whispered the last part into Anna's ear as both their faces turned crimson.

"That can be arranged." Anna whispered back while lightly nibbling on the girls ear lobe as she slowly planted gentle kisses down her neck.

"Mmm." Emily softly moaned as wave of different sensations washed over her similar to that of that one night. "Not...here." She somehow managed to say, fighting back the urge to jump her right then and there.

"Come with me." Anna whispered leading Emily by the hand.
