My 2nd least-liked Pokemon Ambipom gets a full art in the Inferno X set!

Espurr likes the static Electricity ⚡😅 From the PokeTimes Twitter, but their upload has been Topsy-Turvied.

Mostly just got this for the promotional art, but there'll be a photo contest held in Kushiro, Japan, and it'll have some accompanying prizes!

Kuroh: Inflation is a serious problem and lumber prices are at a high.

Shiro: Wha-

“Are you saying that because I’m a woman I can’t handle being alone?” Kushina snapped. Her long red hair squirmed like angry snakes as she loomed over her husband, Minato, in The Hokage’s Office. 

“No no, that’s not it!” Minato said apologetically, waving his open palms to show he was not a threat. “It’s just that with you being with child it makes it my responsibility as the Hokage and your husband to ensure your safety.” Minato’s fragile sense of masculinity came out whenever he felt eyes were on him. He was soft spoken and gentle with Kushina most of the time, but when the pressure was on, he was staunchly protective to a degree that often put him at risk. She hated it.

“This is ridiculous! We only just found out yesterday!”

“And I just want to make sure we give our child the best we’ve got.”

Kushina groaned, “I care too y’know! It’s not fair for you to think so little of me! I can still do plenty.”

“I know you can, but I still think it’s best-”

Kushina rubbed her hair in annoyance. “Urrghhhh! Are you even listening, y’know?” She shrieked. “That’s it! If you won’t listen to me then-” She entwined her hands firmly with the index and middle fingers raised–the tiger hand sign.  “Transform!”

Kushina’s form changed. She wore a Leaf Jonin’s uniform, and her long red hair was tied up. She was no longer shorter than Minato. In fact, she matched him in height and was no longer female. In this new form, he could check his husband for his toxic masculinity. His bright blue determined eyes fixed on Minato. “Are you ready to hear me now?” He asked– voice deeper than before.

Minato’s mouth fell open and he took a while to gather his words before speaking, “Kushina, I-” A golden sealing chain whizzed past his head, and he flinched.

“You’ll call me Kushiro for now ‘kay? We can have a chat. Man to man, y’know?”

“Ah, right,” said Minato, swallowing hard. He’d never thought she’d make such an intimidating and attractive man. “Kushiro, I value your strength and determination to remain an active citizen of The Leaf. I have no doubts in your capabilities. I know that you can take care of yourself. You’re strong both in body and in spirit, but this isn’t just about you anymore. I would feel happier as your husband knowing that someone I trust is watching over you when I can’t. I was thinking Kakashi.”

Kushiro pouted. Minato always knew the right thing to say when he was upset. He could never stay mad for long. 

“I love you, Kushina…ah Kushiro…” Minato said with one of his signature gentle smiles.

Kushiro melted at Minato’s words. He threw himself into the blond’s arms and kissed him hard. Fortunately, he’d locked the door on the way in, because he was curious about how receptive to his new form Minato would be. Just how long could he keep himself, Minato, the chains, and the jutsu up?
