Episode 57: Sylvex's unexpected secret
Once in the living room, the puppies sprawled out on the plush couches and floor, panting and exhausted.
"Sylvex, where are you going?" Anna called out as the ninja puppy slipped away after the training session.
"Using the bathroom," Sylvex called over her shoulder, her voice filled with mirth "emptied my bladder... You think a ninja puppy like me doesn't need to pee?"
Sylvex then walked away gracefully, leaving the puppies to their well-deserved rest.
"Hey, wait for me!" Hershell called out, his little legs struggling to keep up with Sylvex's swift pace "I need to change my diaper."
Hershell catch up with Sylvex in the hallway, his diaper wet and his face red with embarrassment.
"Sylvex, I need to change before I go back to training," he whispered, his voice quivering slightly.
Sylvex looked down at him, her eyes softening as she talked softly, "it's alright, Hershell... I'll help you."
Once in the bathroom, Sylvex help Hershell change his diaper, her movements careful and efficient.
The air was filled with the soft crinkling of fresh padding as she adjusted the tabs, making sure everything was snug but comfortable.
After helping Hershell with his diaper, Sylvex gave him a reassuring pat on his nose with her paw.
"There," she said, smoothing out the last tab "good as new."
Hershell wiggled a little, testing the fit, then grinned up at her with newfound confidence.
"Thanks, Sylvex," Hershell murmured, rubbing his nose against her paw in a quick, grateful nuzzle.
The scent of cotton-fresh padding lingered around them, clean, reassuring.
Sylvex flicked her ears dismissively, but the way her tail wagged in tiny, controlled arcs betrayed her quiet pride, "no big deal... Ninjas help their squad."
"And now I have to pee, Hershell... Can you wait outside?" Sylvex asked, glancing at the bathroom door.
Hershell nodded eagerly, waddling out with a soft crinkle, his freshly changed diaper swaying slightly as he went.
The moment the door clicked shut, Sylvex exhaled and then she jumped to the toilet and positioned herself with effortless balance, perched like a gymnast on the seat before relieving herself with a soft sigh of relief.
Meanwhile outside of the bathroom, Hershell waiting for Sylvex.
Hershell knows that his cousin, Sylvex, was a ninja pup and usually she always using a long time to pee because she can holding her pee for a long time.
Hershell also knows that Sylvex's bladder was really strong because she trained herself everyday to holding her pee for long time before release it all at once.
So he decides to play a bit, walking back and forth with a playful crinkle.
He presses his paws against his fresh diaper, enjoying the softness.
"Ninjas are so cool," he murmurs to himself, imagining climbing walls like Sylvex does.
Five minutes later, Hershell was still waiting for Sylvex outside the bathroom.
"Are you still alive in there?" Hershell called through the bathroom door, pressing his ear against the wood.
He could hear the faintest trickling sound of Sylvex's bladder was a slow, steady river compared to his own hasty little leaks.
"Almost done, cousin!! Maybe three or four more minutes," Sylvex's voice drifted through the door.
Hershell sighed dramatically, but suddenly he could felt his diaper was warm.
"Oops," he whispered, realizing he had just wet himself a little.
He pressed his paws against the padding, feeling the slight squish. At least Sylvex had changed him earlier, this was nothing compared to the soaked mess before.
After a long time, the sound of the toilet flushing was finally heard, followed by the bathroom door creaking open.
Sylvex stepped out, stretching her limbs with a satisfied yawn.
Her fur was slightly ruffled, but her posture was as composed as ever, ninja-like, effortless.
"You know... If I didn't have any bladder problem, I think I can hold my pee longer than you," Hershell said suddenly, kicking his feet against the floor.
His diaper gave a soft crinkle of protest. Sylvex paused mid-stretch, one ear twitching in amusement. She glanced down at him, really looked at him, for the first time since stepping out of the bathroom.
The hallway light caught the faintest glimmer of challenge in his eyes.
The next day, a foggy Tuesday morning, The Pups Gang woke up to the smell of pancakes and syrup.
They bounced out of their beds, their tails wagging at the delicious aroma that filled the house.
In the kitchen, Jerony was busy flipping pancakes while the puppies chattered among themselves, their stomachs rumbling in anticipation.
"Well, I'm so proud of you, guys... Your ninja techniques getting better," Sylvex said, waving her tail as she joined the group.
"You know, Sylvex... At first, we were just spy puppies, but with you teaching us ninja skills, I think we're gonna be unstoppable!" Anna said between bites of pancake, syrup dripping onto her muzzle.
The others murmured in agreement, tails thumping against chairs.
"Thanks for your cousin, Hershell," Jerony said, placing a stack of pancakes in front of each pup "I see she's really got you guys motivated."
"You're welcome, Master," Hershell said, his tail wagging happily "Sylvex is the best ninja puppy ever!"
He glanced at Sylvex, who was eating her pancakes with quiet dignity, her ears twitching slightly at the compliment.
"Get ready, puppies... After breakfast, we'll have a mission briefing," Jerony announced, placing the last pancake on the plate "last night I received an Intel message, Elena Rose and Cooper were seen near the city's tech expo... We might have a chance to recover the stolen data and stop whatever plan they have," he added, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
"This time, I will not let that annoying fox use his fart bomb to escape!" Anna exclaimed, her eyes flashing with determination.
"Fart bomb?!??" Sylvex's eyes widened in shock as she titling her head slightly, trying to process what she had just heard.
"You won't believe it but it's true... Last time we encountered with him, he used his fart to escape from us," Seca said, his voice filled with astonishment as he recounted their previous mission, the moment when Cooper the fox released a cloud of stinky gas to cover his tracks.
Sylvex's nose wrinkled instinctively at the mental image, her ninja discipline momentarily shaken by the sheer absurdity of the tactic.
"I didn't understand... What kind of our villain uses farts as a weapon?" she murmured to herself.
"Eeerrrrhh... Um... Ah, right... Do you know skunk... They always use their farts for... For... Ugh, right... Defense mechanism," Seca said, trying to explain Cooper's tactic, his voice trailing off awkwardly as he scratched behind his ear.
The other puppies exchanged glances, some amused, some horrified while Sylvex simply blinked, her ninja composure slipping into pure bafflement.
"Skunk?!?? Yeah I know that," Sylvex said with a nod "but Cooper is a fox, not a skunk, right?"
"That's right... But that's his new trick," Hershell said, his cheeks flushing a bit at the mention of Cooper's unique escape method "I think he learned it, but not for defense mechanism... But for escape."
"Ouh, I'm understand now... Um... Like this?!??" Sylvex said as she then stood on her front legs and suddenly, she did it.
Suddenly, Sylvex release a loud fart, her tail puffing up slightly from the force, not as nasty as Cooper's but definitely startling.
They stared at her in shock, their jaws dropping open.
"What?!" Anna exclaimed, her expression one of innocence "how could you do that too, Sylvex?!"
"Hehehe... Honestly, I've been training more than just ninja skills," Sylvex admitted, rubbing the back of her head with a sheepish grin.
Sylvex rubbed her head with her paw, looking slightly embarrassed "sometimes, I use it for a quick getaway too, but only when it's absolutely necessary."
Sylvex admitted, trying to keep a straight face even though she feels a bit guilty.
"I call it, "fart explosion" because it's not just a fart... It's more like... Um... A tactical distraction!" Sylvex said, puffing her chest out slightly before dissolving into giggles.
"I didn't think a ninja pup would know such a... Trick," Anna said, her nose wrinkling slightly as she tried not to laugh at the absurdity of the situation.
"But I don't use it very often, I always use smoke bombs to escape and only use farts at certain times," Sylvex added quickly, flattening her ears in mild embarrassment.
The other pups stared at her, some with admiration, others with utter disbelief.
"But isn't that much better than using a smoke bomb? Because it can also make enemies dizzy!" Hershell piped up, his nose twitching at the memory of Cooper's infamous escape tactic.
The other puppies groaned, but Sylvex's ears perked up, there was something oddly strategic about the idea.
"Eerrrrhhh... Listen, pups... Fart explosion isn't something to be proud of," Sylvex finally muttered, "it is an ancient ninja skills that only selected ninja dogs can master... Passed down from generation to generation, and only used when absolutely necessary."
She folded her paws solemnly, but her tail betrayed her with tiny, involuntary wags "but Cooper isn't a ninja, he's just... Vulgar."
"I think you just made that up," Anna said, her ears flicking skeptically as she licked syrup off her muzzle.
"No... It's true," said Sylvex calmly, her voice lowering into that mysterious tone she always used when explaining ninja secrets.
"Moreover, to do a fart explosion requires long and complicated practice, because if you don't practice well or there is the slightest mistake during practice, it could causing severe stomachache... It's not as simple as Cooper's reckless farting," she explained, her tone shifting into a lecturing rhythm, half-ninja wisdom, half-improvising, "because it was... Art is an explosion."
The pups leaned in despite themselves, drawn into her gravity as always. Now they know that Sylvex wasn't just making this up—her ears weren't twitching like they did when she fibbed about who ate the last chew bone.
"Hehehe, well... I think we can get new ammunition thanks to Sylvex," Luna quipped, her tail wagging with excitement "now... We have fart bomb in our team too!"
"Yeah I think so... But I tell you... Don't ever asked me to do it, except for emergencies," Sylvex said, wagging her tail slightly, trying to ease the tension in the room "because the last time I doing it... Ugh... Sorry for saying it... Last time I doing my fart explosion... I have a very bad stomachache and I couldn't stop... Ugh... Pooping for almost 3 days."
The Pups Gang couldn't help but feel slightly horrified at Sylvex's confession, their noses wrinkling at the mental image.
Jerony know with Sylvex's unique ability, they might have found a new way to counter Cooper's stinky escape tactic.
"Alright, let's not get too carried away with that idea, but it's good to know we have a wild card," Jerony said, trying to keep a straight face "now, let's get serious... We need to plan how we're going to infiltrate the tech expo without being detected... We can't underestimate Elena and Cooper."
Maxtone's eyes lit up with excitement, "can I use my wings jetpack again, Master?"
"Sorry, but for now... I think it would be better if you don't," Jerony said, looking at Maxtone with a firm expression as he patting the pup on the head "the tech expo will be crowded, and we need to blend in... Besides, I've got a better plan for you."
"Wait, wait, wait... Don't said I have to do it again!!!!" Maxtone's ears dropped as he remembered the awkward moment in their last mission.
