“Route 2, 1 mile this way. Hmm…” Lucas looked up at the sign marking a fork in the road, putting away the map he had used to navigate himself to this place and time. The short, chubby experiment had just left one of the many small towns that dotted the countryside, having picked up his first Pokemon so he could travel the routes that connected everything by himself, safely, at least. Route 2 was the direction he was originally going, but the other half of this small signpost is what was giving Lucas a bit of pause about what exactly to do next. The second sign, right below the first, read “Route 21, 2 miles this way”. A small warning was underneath the sign, in red text, which read “WARNING: Very High-Level Pokemon ahead - Experienced Trainers ONLY!”. For Lucas, the description was very intimidating, but also, quite...tempting. Oh, so very tempting! Such a novice trainer like himself was obviously not meant to go down that road, but...there was just a certain thrill to being a place that you weren't supposed to be, or one that you ostensibly weren't prepared for. And it was a thrill that attracted Lucas all too easily! The experiment looked down at his belt, on which was notched just one regular red and white Poke Ball. Inside was the starter Pokemon he had gotten just a few hours ago, a meek little Treecko. “Sounds like a challenge…” the experiment mumbled to himself, before a small smirk crossed his face. Challenges are meant to be defeated, right? Who else would take it on if not him? These were the questions that pulled him towards the right, down the path less traveled...to Route 21. At first glance, the two routes seemed pretty similar and plain. Some trees on the sides, lots of grass, the chirping of birds and a little bit of a shoreline with a lake nearby. But, there was just something different about the whole FEEL. Like there was electricity in the air or something. Now this, THIS was Lucas's element. As soon as he started walking down the trail, he started to have a little bit of strut in his stride, a walk that just exuded...confidence. The trail was relatively quiet for a few minutes, allowing Lucas to build up that confidence as he kept going. See, this was easy! Jeez, with that sign you would think something would happen by now - “SKREE!!” A loud cry made Lucas jump a good foot into the air as something came out of the treeline to give the experiment the challenge he was looking for. Once he readjusted himself, he looked to the left to see...well, it was a Pokemon he had never seen before! Bipedal, with clawed feet and a thick mane of cream-colored fur, this spiky, fiery hot Pokemon looked ready for a fight. And that's just what Lucas was going to give them! “Ohh boy! About time…” Lucas said as he pulled out his Pokedex, quickly pointing it towards this mysterious Pokemon and letting the device do its thing. A few seconds later, as the Pokemon got closer and closer to Lucas, the electronic voice spit out a reply. “BLAZIKEN - the Blaze Pokémon. It can clear a 30-story building in a leap. Its fiery punches scorch its foes.” Seeing the Blaziken continue to approach him out of the corner of his eye, Lucas quickly put his Pokedex away, grabbing his Poke Ball with his other hand and getting ready for a fight. “Oh-ho-ho, this is going to be aaawweeesome. Go, Treecko!” he yelled as he threw the ball, the round instrument thunking onto the ground before a ray of light released his starter Pokemon. It was at this point, as his Pokemon stood in front of the Blaziken, that Lucas started to realize the differences between the two. Firstly, the Blaziken was a good 5 ft taller than his little gecko; and, secondly...geez, how did he not notice that the Blaziken was nude? Two round, soft-looking breasts bounced up and down as the Pokemon looked down at its opponent, at least confirming to Lucas that the Blaziken was...er...fully evolved. The look on the Blaziken's face as she loomed over the little Treecko was nothing short of...disappointment. she looked at the little gecko, then to Lucas, then back. “...are you kidding me?” a voice came a few seconds later, once again startling Lucas and causing the experiment to look around for a few moments. Seeing nobody else anywhere close to the two of them, he looked back to the Blaziken, faced with only one reality… “Y-you can talk!?” “Uh, yeah, of course. I'm not a dinky little Caterpie or something. This the best you got?” the Blaziken continued, suddenly looking awfully bored with this little encounter. She had expected to have to fight a legendary, or at least something like a Sableye...but a little, unevolved Treecko? That was absolutely not worth her time. the little runt probably wouldn't even be worth any XP! But...the trainer... maybe he would be a little bit more useful. “Y...yeah, it is! And, and, we're going to beat you, and get to the Pokemon League, and become the champions! Me and Treecko, companions for life, unbreakab-” “Ember.” The Blaziken barely opened her mouth before a ball of fire came rushing out of it, heading right for Lucas's poor little Treecko. The Pokemon tried their best to get out of the way, but that little ember was simply too fast - as soon as it made impact, Lucas's Treecko let out a cry before falling to the ground, completely knocked out by just one move from the Blaziken. Needless to say, Lucas was... stunned. The experiment attempted to make a number of noises, stuttering and cursing as he looked at his Pokemon fainted on the ground, slowly stepping away from the Blaziken. “A-aaahhhh!” Lucas yelled as he turned tail and fled, the experiment running back down the trail as his defeated Treecko lay on the ground in front of the Blaziken, who was giving ample chase. Unfortunately for Lucas, who had dropped pretty much everything he was doing and carrying to get the hell out of here, he was not very fast compared to the Blaziken that was quickly gaining ground on him. Sure enough, in just a minute or so, the short little experiment felt a blow to the back send him right to the dirt of the trail, dazing him for a few moments as he lay on the ground. Lucas was seeing stars, but it was a very different type of sensation that brought him back to the real world - the feeling of something wet, warm, and slimy grabbing a hold of his feet! The experiment quickly snapped his neck back to try and figure out what the heck was going on, only to see something that made him cry out in fear almost immediately. That Blaziken, leaning down to the ground, with his feet entirely within her beak of a mouth! “No no no no no, you already knocked out my Pokemon, just let me go -” the experiment stammered as he clawed the dirt to try and pull himself out of the Blaziken's mouth, The Pokemon’s jaws making sure that he couldn't just pull his legs out and start to run away - even though he definitely tried a few times to do just that! Tierra sighed internally as she reached forward, trying to grab ahold of Lucas so she could cram him down her gullet all the more quickly. “I haven't had anything but scraps and twigs for the past three days, I'm not letting this runt go…” the Blaziken thought in her head as she ran her tongue over the experiment’s feet and ankles, yanking on Lucas's sides as she opened her beak up to snatch up a few more inches of the experiment. For someone who wasn't even four feet tall, the experiment had quite a bit of weight to throw around! Made it a lot more work for Tierra to get him down, but the reward would be all the sweeter once it was all over… Despite his best efforts, Lucas only felt more of his body being swallowed up by that slimy bird beak, and that only made him panic even more. His claws dug as deep into the dirt as they possibly could, but instead of finding a good grip, they just slipped effortlessly through the dirt every time Tierra tugged or pulled on him with her hands or mouth. Lucas could feel his feet starting to dangle over the bird’s chasm of a throat, the flesh quivering beneath him, ready to suck his body down into that hungry gullet - and, even as he squirmed and wiggled and yelled for help, that seemed to be exactly where he was going to go! Tierra close her eyes and snapped her jaws shut around Lucas's scaly waist as she took a deep, powerful swallow, feeling a few misfires before Lucas's feet were sucked into her throat. The experiment yelped as he felt his body get yanked backwards, his feet suddenly trapped in a place where he could squirm even less than he could before. Only a few moments later, he felt the Blaziken reach underneath him with a hand, propping him up as she stood back up, tilting her neck backwards and getting help from gravity to gulp down the experiment at a much faster pace. The experiment’s arms were still free, thankfully, and now that Lucas was basically standing up in the bird's throat, he would need to make a huge effort to free himself before things got impossible! He wedged his hands into the corners of the bird’s lips, grunting as he pushed as hard as he could, trying to dislodge what was now a good third of his body stuck in the Blaziken’s throat - but, his best efforts were defeated by a bit of casual movement from the Blaziken, who was throwing her neck back and forth in an attempt to get more of her jaws around Lucas’s chest and tummy. It was a bit hard at first, especially with the experiment cursing her out as he tried to get some sort of grip on all this wet flesh, but eventually, she was able to cause enough of a fuss for Lucas's hands to slip, the experiment yelping as he felt his body sink a good few inches deeper into the Blaziken's mouth. Her tongue had done most of the work to get him dislodged, constantly slurping and licking along Lucas's fingers until they lost whatever grip they had… Now, the only thing that was free from bird beak was the experiment’s head. His arms were bound at his shoulders, hands trapped in Tierra’s greasy gullet as his chest was working on joining them. The Blaziken’s stale, fiery breath washed over his back every few seconds, only making the environment inside the Pokemon’s mouth even more oppressive...with both of his methods of locomotion thoroughly swallowed up, all the experiment could do was whimper, pleading with Tierra to let him out; but his words fell on deaf ears, and an impatient stomach. The Blaziken returned her neck to a more normal position as her beak swallowed up Lucas's own neck, the experiment’s time left in the outside world quickly depleting. In just a few moments, Tierra would ferret her tongue underneath Lucas's body, sticking it out and curling the tip up over the experiment’s nose and slowly pulling him into that wet, hot mouth, which had already claimed so much of his form. The tip of the blaziken's beak was starting to enter his field of vision, shrouding the experiment in darkness until… *clack* Tierra's beak clamped shut over Lucas's snout, the experiment suddenly surrounded by wet, smelly darkness as he felt the bird's tongue undulating underneath him. Ugh, he got bird spit smeared all over his face, and he could feel his body sliding backwards so quickly - his whole lower half was being rhythmically squeezed down into the Pokemon's stomach, his feet even starting to dangle out of the throat valve and into that caustic chamber. The experiment had a brief moment in the Blaziken's mouth, watching as burgundy flesh soon turned inky black as he slid further and further back, unable to do anything but wiggle in vain as the bird continued to feed. One more thick *glllrrkk* and Lucas was gone, nothing but a throat bulge being squeezed and massaged by greasy gullet flesh, surrounded on all sides by the Blaziken that had claimed him… Tierra wiped drool her mouth as she felt Lucas squirming down her throat, the Blaziken's gut rumbling as it finally started to be filled. "Ugh. So dramatic." she mused aloud as her belly started to swell and grow, Lucas being the perfect size to fill her up nicely without making a gigantic belly bulge that was too cumbersome to carry around. She still cradled her gut as it kicked and squirmed and sloshed, though, idly picking at her beak as she made her way over to a tree where she could rest and digest...for Lucas, the experience wasn't so comfortable, though! After being squeezed by throat walls for a good few minutes, the experiment was finally squeezed out into a chamber that was, at least, roomier than the Blaziken's throat. Too bad their stomach had no concept of personal space; as soon as Lucas landed, the walls were pressing and kneading against his form from every angle, getting him soaking wet in slimy, thick fluids that matted his fur so thoroughly and started to make his skin tingle after a while. And it didn't help that all the swaying Tierra's belly did as she walked was mixing up all the fluids in here like a stew! Thankfully, the Blaziken soon came to a stop, sitting down underneath a tree and cradling her belly in-between her arms and legs as she reclined against the trunk. The relative peace was short lived, however, as the chamber around Lucas squeezed even tighter for a moment before a thick, fiery *BHHHHhhhuuuuUUUURRRPPPP* blasted Tierra's lips open, the Blaziken feeling much better after getting all the air out of her belly! "Let me OUT…" Lucas demanded as he thumped on the stomach walls the best he could, the struggle only earning a chuckle from Tierra. Instead of a response, the bird just idly rubbed over her swollen belly as it gurgled and churned the experiment away, Lucas's squirms slowly becoming more and more muted over time as the stomach claimed him entirely. That tingling feeling gradually took over the experiment's whole body, and soon he had passed out as the gut only continued to squeeze and push tighter and tighter in on him… "Aaahhh...novice trainers always taste the best~" Tierra joked to herself as she felt the squirming inside of her come to a standstill, Lucas now little more than a nutritious soup sitting in the Blaziken's belly. But the Pokemon wasn't finished yet; held in her other hand was the Treecko she had fainted a few hours ago! She raised the passed out Pokemon high over her head, opening her beak wide before casually dropping the Treecko inside as if she was snacking down on a grape! One gulp, and the gecko was gone, nothing but the dessert on top of the trainer dinner Tierra had enjoyed today. Grass Pokemon were always better as garnishes, anyway…
