“……”
“Come on Petie! Don’t be so nervous!”
“… I’m in a diaper, dressed as a baby, about to go into a match in front of a huge audience, and I’m probably gonna screw it all up… why SHOULDN’T I be nervous!?”
“Because nobody knows you’re in a diaper, they think your outfit is a costume, it’s a chance to win the audience’s support, you’re NOT going to screw it up… and most importantly of all is because I’M here with you!”
“… how come you’re always so confident?”
“It’s a gift. Now then you remember our signals?”
“Uh huh.”
“The strategy?”
“Yeah…”
“Ready to do our poses?”
“… do we have tu?”
“Yep, now come on! Time to make our big entrance!”
Scooping Petie up Rose put his pacifier in his mouth and set him in her pouch as she strode confidently into the arena just as the ref called their names. There was an odd, awkward silence as Rose carried Petie into the arena like that as if the audience wasn’t sure what to think. Before they could figure out a proper response Rose spun around and thrust her arms into the air in a dramatic pose as Petie reluctantly did the same from the pouch. He silently prayed Rose wouldn’t do what she’d been planning on doing. He prayed to every legendary he could remember that she wouldn’t shout…
“Nanny and Teddy-Chan the Warriors of Love and Justice have Arrived!!!”
Petie felt his stomach turn over as he waited for the inevitable mocking laughter. He KNEW they were about to be laughed out of the arena… any second now… any second… um, where was the mocking laughter? He blinked and looked around as Rose confidently sauntered towards the ref and their opponents. He couldn’t believe it, they’d somehow managed to be so unexpected that the audience didn’t know how to react! Some of them were laughing sure… but others were looking like they were expecting a hidden camera show host to pop out, others were cooing about how adorable he looked (Petie was glad they couldn’t see how much he was blushing), others were still trying to get pictures from when Rose’s twirl had caused her skirt to rise, and most astounding of all… a lot of them were actually clapping!
Rose finally stopped in the center of the arena and in one; swift, gentle movement scooped him out of the pouch and set him down next to her gently. Taking a moment to regain his footing Petie looked at their opponents. Agatha was all but SEETHING with rage at their entrance while Suzie was trying not to giggle and when her partner wasn’t looking gave them a thumbs up making Petie blush more. The ref oddly enough didn’t look surprised in the least. The old alakazam looked to the two teams “Are the fighters ready?” she asked, her tone serious and no-nonsense.
“Ready!!” Agatha barked, as if answering a drill sergeants call. Suzie sighed softly and took a more serious stance before nodding. Rose grinned and took a combat stance as well, all but bouncing with eager energy “Ready!” Petie gulped and took a rather awkward stance, which was gently corrected by Rose’s large tail nudging Petie’s foot into the proper position (much to his embarrassment though nobody seemed to notice), and squeaked out “R-ready!” The alakazam looked at both of teams for a moment before nodding.
“Double Battle!! Team Blitzkrieg vs. Nanny & Teddy-Chan!!! BEGIN!!!”
Before he could bother to think about what he was doing Petie’s instincts took hold and he did what he always did during a match… charged straight at his opponent Fury Swipes blazing. Agatha didn’t even spare him a glance as she lashed out with a Double Kick smacking Petie hard in the chest with the first one and hurling him backwards past Rose. As he tumbled to a stop in a heap he could see Rose turn to try and see if he was okay… and promptly get jumped by both of their opponents at once.
Suzie looked slightly remorseful as she made a “Bring It” gesture with her claw at Rose, Petie recognizing the light glowing around it as a Taunt, as the kangaskhan gritted her teeth and threw a Sucker Punch that struck Agatha hard in the jaw. The monferno just grimaced and brought her foot crashing hard into Rose’s side with a Low Sweep followed closely by Suzie slamming a Crush Claw into her other side knocking the wind out of her and sending her staggering back.
Pulling himself to his feet Petie did the first thing that came to his mind… which was the same thing he did before as he hurled himself blindly into the fray. Agatha didn’t even bother to use an actual attack this time and just kicked him hard, knocking the pacifier out of his mouth (luckily the attached ribbon kept him from losing it) and sending him tumbling across the ground again coming to a stop in an upside down heap. He had brief flashbacks to when he had to do this kind of pose in the commercials, showing his butt to everybody, but his attention was more focused on what was happening in front of him.
Rose was throwing punches with devastating force and accuracy… but she was taking a world class beating all the same. Every time she managed to strike one of them the other hit her back and before Rose could return fire their teammate exploited the opening to hit her again. Rolling to his feet unsteadily he prepared to charge in again. Somewhere in the back of Petie’s head he realized that the Taunt from earlier was keeping Rose from using any defensive or healing moves meaning she was almost defenseless with them ganging up on her like that… but as of the moment the only coherent though his brain could string together with the rush and panic of the moment was “Help Rose!”
“Spit spot!!”
Petie’s legs froze out from under him mid step and he promptly collapsed onto his bottom adorably like a real baby taking his first steps and falling. His face went bright red as Suzie stopped attacking for a moment to giggle and coo at the spectacle. Rose had shouted that and after her beating the code commands into his head so much he knew exactly what it meant and did it without a thought. “Spit spot” was Nanny’s signal for him to stop whatever he was doing, particularly when he’s making a bad call attack or tactics wise.
Sitting there on his butt he whimpered, what was he supposed to do then!? If charging in was a bad call then he was out of tricks! He didn’t have any ranged moves and Charm certainly wouldn’t do anything to help now. Was he just supposed to sit there and watch Rose get beaten up!? It looked like she’d be knocked out before the Taunt wore off… and even if it did would she be able to use Rest to heal herself before they Taunted her again? Petie felt himself tear up as feelings of helplessness washed over him. How was he supposed to help here!?
“Pwetty!”
Petie went wide eyed as Rose shouted that. It was another of their signals. One of them that referred to one of his attacks meaning Nanny wanted him to use it. Unfortunately it was one of those two moves Petie had tried to teach himself and was ashamed of. He gulped and whined, did she REALLY want him to try it in front of all these people…?
CRACK!!! Agatha delivered a high Blaze Kick to the side of Rose’s head as Suzie smashed a Metal Claw into her gut sending his sister staggering backwards as the two prepared to deliver the coup de grace on her. Biting his lip Petie hopped back to his feet as pure adrenalin rush temporarily shoved any doubts he had away. He put his paw to his lips and blew a kiss as a small pastel pink heart came from his lips and headed straight for Team Blitzkrieg colliding with Suzie mid leap and making her stagger to a stop.
Blinking in confusion she staggered drunkenly for a moment before her attention focused on Petie as the teddiursa gulped and prayed the attack had worked like it was supposed to… as he was suddenly tacked clear off his feet. He squealed in panic only to find Suzie cradling him as she rubbed cheeks with him, hearts in her eyes, she gushed baby talk “D’aaaaaaaaw! Yur just the cuties wittle teddy weddie aren’t yu? Yes yu are! Yes yu aaaaaare!” she called in an patronizing sing-song voice as she rubbed noses with Petie making him blush bright red “I could just eat you up!!”
The audience exploded in laughter and shouting, some of them getting pictures and cheering Petie on, others cracking up at the bizarre scene in front of them, and more gushing over how cute it was and yelling for Suzie to leave some for them to cuddle. All of this making poor Petie’s blush even more intense as Suzie cooed at him more and playfully teased the pacifier into his mouth like he was a real toddler. Agatha on the other hand was not quite so amused with this as she began screaming at the top of her lungs, her assault on Rose forgotten
“WHAT IN THE NINE LAYERS OF HELL DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING YOU WORTHLESS IDIOT!!!!”
Petie meanwhile wondered if he should feel dirty about using this tactic. He admitted he’d tried to learn Attract so he could maybe get a date or something… at least at the start anyway. Things had gone wrong pretty fast for him when he finally figured out how badly he’d managed to screw the move up. His Attract made the person “love” him alright… but it was MATERNAL love. His Attract ended up amplifying any maternal or big sister instincts the victim might have and directing them at him meaning it would either be useless (like he was willing to be it would have been if he used it on Agatha) or it ended up like… well… this. He was guessing Suzie had a little sibling of some kind with how she had taken to it so eagerly.
Agatha meanwhile looked so furious he expected her to burst into flames any second as she saw her teammate cradling and cooing the enemy. Her mood didn’t improve as she heard a solid sounding THUD and whirled around to find Rose had taken the opening and the fact the Taunt had worn off to go as a chance use Rest meaning the beat down they’d been giving her had been rendered meaningless. Rather than waste effort trying to attack Rose, knowing she’d be awake and defending herself in a moment, Agatha tore across the arena and SLAMMED into Petie & Suzie with a Bulk Up powered Blaze Kick making them both scream as they were thrown into the wall. Suzie’s gentle but firm grip on Petie keeping him from taking the brunt of the damage… at the cost of her taking it instead.
His pacifier having been knocked out of his mouth by the impact Petie looked at Suzie grimacing in pain and shouted at Agatha “WHAT’S YUR PWOBLEM!!? SHE’S YUR TEAMMATE!!!” he tried to say more but was cut off but a Double Kick colliding with both their sides and sending them flying again. The fire type was PURPOSLY trying to hit them both! Agatha’s face was one of annoyance as she watched them skid to a stop, Suzie again taking the brunt of the damage from the landing, as she all but spat her answer to Petie’s question “If she’s not going to fight you then I’ll simply take her out with you. She’s nothing but a liability now.” she finished, clinching her fists and charging at them full speed.
Petie’s eyes went wide as he actually recognized the stance and lead up of what move she was going to use next, Close Combat. One of the fighting types finisher moves. His first instinct was to run and hide behind Rose but then he realized he was still right next to Suzie who hadn’t recovered from the previous blows yet and was dazed. If he tried to run he wouldn’t put it past this psycho to just attack her anyway… but what could he do to protect her? Should he protect her? His panic stricken mind froze up as he realized he’d hesitated too long and Agatha was just about to strike as he opened his mouth to scream.
“THAT’S ENOUGH OF THAT!!!”
Rose came out of nowhere as a Sucker Punch crashed into Agatha’s cheek hard throwing her off balance and off course as she was sent skidding past Suzie & Petie and crashed. Petie stood there trembling a little as Rose kneeled down next to him “You okay?” she asked quickly, already giving him a quick once over to check the extent of the damage. He nodded, blushing a little, but pointed to Suzie who’d just now managed to recover as she sat up and looked at them with an innocent smile before adjusting Petie’s bonnet so it was back on properly, still hard under the effects of Attract. Rose looked apologetic for a moment… then struck the zangoose on the head with a Drain Punch as quickly and cleanly as possible. The already injured normal type collapsed backwards unconscious as the ref called it.
“Suzie Elliot is unable to battle!”
Petie whined softly, he understood it was a mercy knockout but he still felt bad about getting her in trouble with her insane teammate. He didn’t have long to feel guilty though as Rose grabbed him and dove out of the way just barely avoiding the Flare Blitz Agatha tried to crash into them with. Petie squeaked as he felt the flames lick against them as the burning monkey careened past. He found himself slipped into Rose’s pouch as the kangaskhan whispered a single word to him “Wide.” Petie whined as he recognized one of their strategy based signals and one he wasn’t particularly fond of either, but despite that he ducked into the pouch and braced himself as Rose charged.
Breaking out of her Flare Blitz Agatha whirled around to face them, her Mach Punch colliding with Rose’s Sucker Punch like something out of an anime as the two glared each other down before breaking off and beginning to attack each other viciously. As Agatha attempted to Blaze Kick Rose in the head Petie suddenly made a cutsie looking face at her, hitting her with a Charm, the monferno looked thoroughly disgusted by this disrupting her focus and letting Rose easily block the kick and Thunder Punch her in return.
Agatha bared her teeth and charged in with a Fire Punch as Rose launched a Comet Punch combo of Thunder Punches at her. Rather than risk the attack Agatha ducked under it and pulled back to uppercut Rose in the gut… when Petie took advantage of the dodge bringing her face into his range and unleashed a Fury Swipes on her taking the monferno by surprise and making her stagger back letting Rose twirl and nail her with a Arial Ace high kick throwing Agatha back on her butt.
Agatha hit the ground and rolled before springing right back to her feet and back at Rose launching a Double Kick aimed right at Petie. Rose’s body moved on instinct and shielded him with her arms… just as the monkey’s leg burst into flames. The first kick crashed against her, flames going past her guard and dancing against Petie as Agatha spun around and delivered another before Rose could dodge out of range. The teddiursa squealed in pain as he was burned and Agatha jumped back before Rose could retaliate.
Grinning as she saw Petie trying to smack out the lingering flames on himself as his face was twisted in teary pain while Rose was trying to help him Agatha jumped back further and cupped her hands together as a blue sphere appeared between them. Holding it for a second she reared back and hurled the Focus Blast right at the pouched Petie as the kangaskhan quickly sidestepped to avoid the blow. Not letting up Agatha threw another one at them forcing Rose to dodge again. The moment the kangaskhan moved to avoid the energy ball Agatha dove forward with a Flare Blitz crashing into them hard and sending them skidding back.
She grinned confidently, certain that attack at least ended the teddiursa… when she saw Rose’s hands crossed in front of Petie like a shield her body glowing with Protect. She literally snorted fire as her controlled composure completely dropped and she charged straight at them, all four limbs blazing with her intent to mix her Blaze Kick, Fire Punch, and Close Combat attacks into something that would INSURE she put these two down.
Putting one hand on Petie head as the burn hurt him Rose looked genuinely upset as she glared at Agatha, seemingly unperturbed by the fire types berserker charge. She suddenly struck a pose Agatha didn’t recognize, one foot in front of the other with her hands crossed over her chest like a mummy. Rose breathed in deeply as Agatha reared back to beat the hell out of her… failing to notice the swirling water appearing around Rose’s feet until it was too late to change her trajectory.
“BATH TIME!!!”
Rose shouted thrusting her hands out as she launched her Surf attack, the surging waters catching Agatha mid jump and carrying her clean to the other side of the arena as her attacks were extinguished. Rose was more focused on her pouch though as Petie was breathing hard, the burn taking its toll on him. Gently putting her hand over his eyes Rose whispered “Naptime.” Petie whimpered at the signal, not wanting to have to do that move in front of the audience, but in a moment he’d sunk into her pouch fast asleep thanks to Rest as his body glowed a soft blue as he recovered.
She looked up and found Agatha had dragged her waterlogged body back to its feet as the monferno took a deep, furious breath… and he body suddenly seemed to go limp. It wasn’t until Rose noticed the blue healing glow coming from her as well that she realized it was Slack Off. Rose took a deep breath as well as her muscles bulged with Work Up as she took her fighting stance. This was too big a battle to end just by spamming Surf… and she was more than certain Agatha wasn’t going to give her the chance to now.
Sure enough the monkey flew across the arena at her like a zubat out of hell, fully engulfed in a Flare Blitz. Rose danced to the side avoiding the blow as she saw Agatha’s feet dig into the dirt to yank her to a stop and spin her around to face the kangaskhan. With that the two were at each others throats Agatha shooting kicks and punches at Rose wildly while she returned fire with her own. There was flurries of blows colliding in midair with each other and with their target, flames danced against electricity as the two brawled against each other to almost a standstill as neither could gain the upper hand.
As the two brawled Agatha grew more and more frustrated, visibly snarling as she failed to strike a finishing blow against Rose. Finally she swung wild with a Double Kick and managed to knock the kangaskhan’s arms to the sides exposing her middle. Agatha let out a battle cry and prepped to slam a Close Combat into Rose’s chest with all the strength she had left… when a TERRIBLE noise suddenly cut her off making her wince and stop mid motion. Her eyes went wide when she noticed Petie in the pouch, still fast asleep and snorting a little from his Snore attack as his Kings Rock pacifier glowed softly. Of all things… the TEDDIURSA had ruined her moment of triumph!?
She snapped back to reality at the sound of crackling electricity. Rose had two Thunder Punches ready as her muscles bulged with another Work Up. The monferno started to bring her arms up to defend herself but it was too late as Rose swung forward, a Thunder Punch charged Comet Punch slammed hard into Agatha. First to one side of her face sending her staggering, the second a hard blow to her gut, and the last punch right to her nose throwing her back on her butt as Rose shouted her name for the attack one word for each blow.
“SHOCKING!! TIME!! OUT!!”
There was a pained groan as Agatha tried to sit up, hate burning in her eyes as she stared at the duo looming over her, and it looked like she was going to continue the match on pure willpower… but that was short lived as she collapsed backwards sprawled on the arena floor out cold. Rose stood there for a moment breathing hard, small wisps of smoke coming from where Agatha’s flaming blows had struck her, as she waited for the ref to call it.
“Agatha Burner is unable to battle! Nanny & Teddy-Chan are the winners!!!”
Rose WISHED Petie was awake so he could hear the cheers as the audience exploded. She grinned and scooped Petie out of her pouch, cradling him proudly with one hand as she waved to the crowd with the other even waving the sleeping teddy’s paw to them as well for good measure. Considering some of the coos it brought from the audience it was well worth it. She wasn’t sure what the long term results of this match would be on their reputations… but they managed to win, Petie had actually contributed meaningfully to the match, and they’d done it with STYLE.
If that wasn’t something to be proud of she didn’t know what was.
To Be Concluded…
THe time has come down to the hour of the fight. Rose & Petie vs. Agatha & Suzie. Nanny & Teddy-Chan vs. Team Blitzkrieg. How will all Petie's training hold up?

PCA – Double Act
Part 5 – The Battle Begins! The Hero of Love Rises!! “……”
“Come on Petie! Don’t be so nervous!”
“… I’m in a diaper, dressed as a baby, about to go into a match in front of a huge audience, and I’m probably gonna screw it all up… why SHOULDN’T I be nervous!?”
“Because nobody knows you’re in a diaper, they think your outfit is a costume, it’s a chance to win the audience’s support, you’re NOT going to screw it up… and most importantly of all is because I’M here with you!”

Breaking out of her Flare Blitz Agatha whirled around to face them, her Mach Punch colliding with Rose’s Sucker Punch like something out of an anime as the two glared each other down before breaking off and beginning to attack each other viciously. As Agatha attempted to Blaze Kick Rose in the head Petie suddenly made a cutsie looking face at her, hitting her with a Charm, the monferno looked thoroughly disgusted by this disrupting her focus and letting Rose easily block the kick and Thunder Punch her in return.
Agatha bared her teeth and charged in with a Fire Punch as Rose launched a Comet Punch combo of Thunder Punches at her. Rather than risk the attack Agatha ducked under it and pulled back to uppercut Rose in the gut… when Petie took advantage of the dodge bringing her face into his range and unleashed a Fury Swipes on her taking the monferno by surprise and making her stagger back letting Rose twirl and nail her with a Arial Ace high kick throwing Agatha back on her butt.
Agatha hit the ground and rolled before springing right back to her feet and back at Rose launching a Double Kick aimed right at Petie. Rose’s body moved on instinct and shielded him with her arms… just as the monkey’s leg burst into flames. The first kick crashed against her, flames going past her guard and dancing against Petie as Agatha spun around and delivered another before Rose could dodge out of range. The teddiursa squealed in pain as he was burned and Agatha jumped back before Rose could retaliate.
Grinning as she saw Petie trying to smack out the lingering flames on himself as his face was twisted in teary pain while Rose was trying to help him Agatha jumped back further and cupped her hands together as a blue sphere appeared between them. Holding it for a second she reared back and hurled the Focus Blast right at the pouched Petie as the kangaskhan quickly sidestepped to avoid the blow. Not letting up Agatha threw another one at them forcing Rose to dodge again. The moment the kangaskhan moved to avoid the energy ball Agatha dove forward with a Flare Blitz crashing into them hard and sending them skidding back.
She grinned confidently, certain that attack at least ended the teddiursa… when she saw Rose’s hands crossed in front of Petie like a shield her body glowing with Protect. She literally snorted fire as her controlled composure completely dropped and she charged straight at them, all four limbs blazing with her intent to mix her Blaze Kick, Fire Punch, and Close Combat attacks into something that would INSURE she put these two down.
Putting one hand on Petie head as the burn hurt him Rose looked genuinely upset as she glared at Agatha, seemingly unperturbed by the fire types berserker charge. She suddenly struck a pose Agatha didn’t recognize, one foot in front of the other with her hands crossed over her chest like a mummy. Rose breathed in deeply as Agatha reared back to beat the hell out of her… failing to notice the swirling water appearing around Rose’s feet until it was too late to change her trajectory.
“BATH TIME!!!”
Rose shouted thrusting her hands out as she launched her Surf attack, the surging waters catching Agatha mid jump and carrying her clean to the other side of the arena as her attacks were extinguished. Rose was more focused on her pouch though as Petie was breathing hard, the burn taking its toll on him. Gently putting her hand over his eyes Rose whispered “Naptime.” Petie whimpered at the signal, not wanting to have to do that move in front of the audience, but in a moment he’d sunk into her pouch fast asleep thanks to Rest as his body glowed a soft blue as he recovered.
She looked up and found Agatha had dragged her waterlogged body back to its feet as the monferno took a deep, furious breath… and he body suddenly seemed to go limp. It wasn’t until Rose noticed the blue healing glow coming from her as well that she realized it was Slack Off. Rose took a deep breath as well as her muscles bulged with Work Up as she took her fighting stance. This was too big a battle to end just by spamming Surf… and she was more than certain Agatha wasn’t going to give her the chance to now.
Sure enough the monkey flew across the arena at her like a zubat out of hell, fully engulfed in a Flare Blitz. Rose danced to the side avoiding the blow as she saw Agatha’s feet dig into the dirt to yank her to a stop and spin her around to face the kangaskhan. With that the two were at each others throats Agatha shooting kicks and punches at Rose wildly while she returned fire with her own. There was flurries of blows colliding in midair with each other and with their target, flames danced against electricity as the two brawled against each other to almost a standstill as neither could gain the upper hand.
As the two brawled Agatha grew more and more frustrated, visibly snarling as she failed to strike a finishing blow against Rose. Finally she swung wild with a Double Kick and managed to knock the kangaskhan’s arms to the sides exposing her middle. Agatha let out a battle cry and prepped to slam a Close Combat into Rose’s chest with all the strength she had left… when a TERRIBLE noise suddenly cut her off making her wince and stop mid motion. Her eyes went wide when she noticed Petie in the pouch, still fast asleep and snorting a little from his Snore attack as his Kings Rock pacifier glowed softly. Of all things… the TEDDIURSA had ruined her moment of triumph!?
She snapped back to reality at the sound of crackling electricity. Rose had two Thunder Punches ready as her muscles bulged with another Work Up. The monferno started to bring her arms up to defend herself but it was too late as Rose swung forward, a Thunder Punch charged Comet Punch slammed hard into Agatha. First to one side of her face sending her staggering, the second a hard blow to her gut, and the last punch right to her nose throwing her back on her butt as Rose shouted her name for the attack one word for each blow.
“SHOCKING!! TIME!! OUT!!”
There was a pained groan as Agatha tried to sit up, hate burning in her eyes as she stared at the duo looming over her, and it looked like she was going to continue the match on pure willpower… but that was short lived as she collapsed backwards sprawled on the arena floor out cold. Rose stood there for a moment breathing hard, small wisps of smoke coming from where Agatha’s flaming blows had struck her, as she waited for the ref to call it.
“Agatha Burner is unable to battle! Nanny & Teddy-Chan are the winners!!!”
Rose WISHED Petie was awake so he could hear the cheers as the audience exploded. She grinned and scooped Petie out of her pouch, cradling him proudly with one hand as she waved to the crowd with the other even waving the sleeping teddy’s paw to them as well for good measure. Considering some of the coos it brought from the audience it was well worth it. She wasn’t sure what the long term results of this match would be on their reputations… but they managed to win, Petie had actually contributed meaningfully to the match, and they’d done it with STYLE.
If that wasn’t something to be proud of she didn’t know what was.
To Be Concluded…
