My I to his II

It was just another Tuesday at the PTA, about midday. Chuchu the Pikachu was walking around the building, waiting for something to do to come into view. As he walked near the stock room, he had no idea that his next entertainment would hit him like a brick.

*THUNK!!*

Chuchu didn't even get a chance to grunt. The next thing he knew, he was on the ground with a slight headache. Something almost sharp had poked him...

"Excuse me..."

Instantly, Chu recognized the quiet voice of Robert, the local popular Piplup at PTA. That same Piplup was sitting up, rubbing his beak. Apparently, Chu's hard head had met with his beak for unfavorable results.

Being the polite mouse he was, Chu said back, "No, excuse me." At this, Robert shook his head a little and straightened up in his sitting position, having recognized Chuchu. Who wouldn't with all the red Chu wears?

"Oh, what's up, Chuchu?"

Chuchu smiles and says, "Nothing, I was just walking around." His smile went away as he saw Robert in a bit of thought.

Almost as if delayed, Robert said, "Well, that's nice to know." Chu thought it weird, but he knew Rob by now; he was a powerful Piplup with a good and bad side. Chu liked the good side more, obviously.

"I was...also looking for some new tickle device to test." Chu had thought that up to be nice. He knew Robert was almost a freak for tickle devices.

"You don't say?" Robert raised an eyebrow. "Mind if I join you?"

Chu looked as if he was thinking; he was really just putting on a funny act so Rob would think he had to think about having Robert along. In retrospect, that probably wasn't a good thing to do in front of a guy like Robert. Finally, Chu said, "Okay!" and walked off to the front of PTA, with Robert following cool and collected behind him.

After a bit of walking, Chu noticed a new store had popped up in the nearby town and immediately walked inside. Robert looked up, noticing the banner: "New Tickle Toys for Sale! Today and Tomorrow only!" Robert shrugged his small shoulders and followed the excited mouse inside, who was already looking through a line of drawers marked "Sale!" The workers hadn't even stopped to give any "no shirt, no shoes, no service" rule; perhaps that was the point of the place, to buy tickle stuff without shoes hindering testing. The now-hyperactive Chu dashed away from the multicolor feathers to a big metal door. Robert saw the door was labeled "Testing Room" in imitation bronze.

"Sounds interesting. Want to check it out?" Chu can't help but ask; he's too curious.

Robert just replies with "Okay." The Penguin Pokemon knocked on the door with a rolled-up flipper tip. It immediately opened, revealing a large (to them) Pokemon that looked like some sort of mutant purple frog. Both Chuchu and Robert were surprised until they realize this is just a Toxicroak.

"Oh, are you customers?" The poison-packed frog asked the two. Chuchu immediately recognized the voice as feminine; perhaps Robert did not notice yet, as his positive reply of "yes" did not sound like he was even paying enough attention.

"Yeah, is this where we go?" Chu asked eagerly. He didn't even say what he was going to, but the Toxicroak seemed to assume his motive correctly, even if it did take about 3 seconds of staring at the rodent before she answered.

"Okay, then follow me." The Toxicroak walked back into the so-called Testing Room. The two Pokemon followed obediently into the hallway. As they followed the leader, Chu and Robert heard various bouts of laughters, giggles, guffaws, and chuckles within a few of the doors they passed by them. Finally, they turn to a closed door. "You can use this room," the female frog stated.

As the door opened, not unlike a handicap-accessible door at your local mall, the two see a blank room with nothing but a few shelves, light carpeting, and a restraining table with stock holes bulit into a side of it.

One look from Chu to Robert told him neither of them were impressed. In fact, Robert's look appeared almost sarcastic, as if in fake surprise.

The Toxicroak then asked, "Who wants to be strapped in?"

"N-"

"Not it!" Robert had beaten Chu to the punch.

"What?!" Chu almost squeaked at disapproval. After an exchange of glances, one incredulous and one humorous, the Toxicroak agrees to the statements and picks the little mouse up, immediately strapping him down by his arms, legs, and tail, all before Chuchu even had a chance to struggle. At that, she left the room.

Robert grinned like only a Piplup could and said, "It would appear that I came out on top yet again. Chu remained silent; he knew hell was coming. He just didn't know how. Trial by flipper? By feather? By electric toothbrush with horsehair attachments?

"Forgot these." The Toxicroak came back in and plopped down a white sack filled with...stuff. "Take as long as you want," she said as she turned around and walked out the door yet again. Chu was going through the trials yet again, starting to show it with how much he's squirming and strugggling in his tight bonds.

"Well, let's see what they have to offer," Robert said as he opened the bag, listing off the contents out loud.

"Feathers..." Chu squirmed.

"Brushes..." Chu wriggled.

"Tiny rope..." Chu's toes clenched.

"And...strangely enough, a razor?" Robert held up a regular shaving razor. Chu couldn't help but let out a "HA!" at that. If only Niyu were here...

"What the hell?" Robert murmured to himself as he pulled out a small plastic stylus, not unlike the ones used for Nintendo DS's. The stylus looked much longer than a DS's, however, and had a dark colored tip. Robert thought on the spot someone got lazy on their shift. Nonetheless, Robert brandished it in front of Chu, who was already doing all of the above one more time.

"Eheheh..." Chu nervously chuckled, having a feeling of what this could do to him. "F-funny joke...right?" The Piplup shrugged and made the first strike: a gentle but firm poke in Chu's stomach.

"H-hey! Hehehehehe!" Another few pokes. "Hahahahahaha, that tickles! Hehehehehehehe!" Already, Chu was giggling hard. He was starting to think someone spiked his fur with Ticklon or something.

Chu knew Robert was enjoying this, because the pokes and motions with the stylus did not stop, and neither did Chu's ticklish giggles. Who could resist tickling such a cute giggler?

After only a minute, Chu was starting to laugh even more as Robert explored the rest of the Pikachu's body. Even through his shirt, Chu was insanely ticklish, shown as Robert tickled along his left side and ribs. Each rib got poked individually, earning sensitive squeaks from the poor Pikachu.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!" It wasn't too hard for Chu, but his laughter already sounded loud and forceful in Robert's ears. But that didn't stop him, not at all. The only thing that did was that the Toxicroak woman decided to knock on the door. Robert stopped tickling, to Chu's relief, and opened the door.

"How's it going in here?" was her first question.

"Fine. Someone left this here, though." Robert held out the evil little device.

"No..." The Toxicroak was almost grinning. "That's the tickler stylus."

"Come again?" Robert wasn't totally understanding.

"...Huh?" The breath-catching Chu wasn't either.

"You see..." The woman snatches the stylus out of Rob's flipper, "It's a device that can apply the exat amount of pressure that you want it to, and can be used to tickle only one type of Pokemon at a time if you so choose." She pressed down on the top, making what looked like a little white part snap out a half-inch from the stylus. Robert read that the word "Pikachu" could be read on the screen-like thing in yellow-gold letters. "Try it now," she requested as she handed it back to Robert.

Immediately, Robert reached over and scribbled it all over Chu's belly!

"YAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!!" The feeling was indescribable. Chu's belly was on ticklish fire! Somehow, that stylus is tickling him with the maximum intensity to make him laugh his hardest. And it's making him go crazy!

Robert stopped as quickly as he started, satisfied with the reaction. "Now that's useful," were his next words. The Piplup thanked the Toxicroak, and she left yet again. Robert turned around, back to Chuchu, with his trademark evil look. Chu shivered a little, scared by the stare. "Now...what should I do to the ticklish Pika now?"

"Uh...let me have a turn?" Chu said as hopefully as he could. Robert gave him a blank stare, then walked in front of his yellow feet.

"No, I think not." Robert said as he put the stylus dangerously close to Chu's ticklish feet.

"No! No no! That isn't necessary!" Chu's eyes were as wide as saucers. This was gonna tickle him real bad. Robert grinned like only a Piplup could and scribbled the stylus up and down his left foot.

"EEEEEEHEEHEEHEHEEHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Robert was loving this; Chu was trapped, unable to escape the tickling besides curling his toes and shaking his feet. Robert started fiddling with the stylus, making it feel like a feather now, which in turn made Chu squeal like a ticklish little girl.

"STAHAHAHAHAHAHAP!! I'M GONNA KILL YOU WHEN I GET OUTTA HE-EEEEEEEEEERE!!!" Chu let out a long squeal as he felt the "feather" go between his toes. But then RObert stroked down to the heels, really digging in there. Chu practically EXPLODED with laughter. Even Robert was surprised.

After a few minutes of that torture, Robert stopped to change the tool setting. He found "brushes" and kept it there. Chu was panting heavily to catch his breath. Just as he did...

"NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! EHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE!!! NOHOHOHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAA!!!" The laughs would not stop! Chu's toes looked like they were having seizures, wiggling and clenching erratically as Robert's evil stylus explored every ticklish fur-covered bit of his feet. He finally begs for mercy at the 5-minute count.

Robert agreed to his mercy and stopped tickling. It took a half a minute just for Chu to stop laughing, and another minute for him to speak.

"Your...whew...your turn now..."

Robert let Chu out of his straps. Fatigued, the rat takes a short while to get Robert strapped down on the table and get his feet in the stocks. "It's only fair," Robert said.

After fiddling with the Tickler Stylus himself, Chuchu found the "Piplup" setting, and grinned as evilly as Robert did. "Knowing how proud you Piplup are, I'm just going to go right for your most ticklish spot."

And with that poke to Robert's foot, Chu knew he wasn't going to be bored for a long, long while.
