Routine Inspection

It was supposed to be another routine run, an excavation of crystals Lia had done already a handful of times. Technology had made it much easier to locate deposits, yet the surplus of giant angry mons that followed was usually more than enough of a deterrent. For the standard trainer, and for various wild mons who wouldn't stand a chance against a totem, the Zor understood why. Even still...what he gazed upon was a bit...strange. Slowly tilting his head aside to take in the view, or, the lack thereof, a large gaping hole seemed to span through the forest. Buildings, trees, even the ground itself were just gone. Speaking of gone, things were rather quiet, perhaps a battle managed to scare the wild mons away? At least that was what he'd figured. With a shrug, he wondered forth, making his way to the cave entrance in question, his eyes glued to the screen strapped along his large wrist.

Aria woke up on her throne, one of her 'guards' daring to shake her awake after having seen 'an unfamiliar mon' approaching the tunnels. She had yet to entirely beat the territoriality out of them, unfortunately. They didn't realize that the -whole- island was hers, regardless of what anybody else thought. Wild pokemon could be such a pain.

She refused to accept that she technically was one, now.

Her stupid trainer had died. What kind of asshole stops existing just because a hundred years have passed? Then of course all the other trainers weighed in with their unhelpful comments like 'Won't stay in any ball' 'I don't think Payday is supposed to work like that' and 'This badge works up to level 100 oh god why won't she listen?' And she ended up getting 'released' back into the wilds of Poni Island.

Which suited her just fine. There were plenty of dragons that were easy to bully and fun to look at. All the pokemon with six pack abs were allowed to be in her presence and all the pokemon on the island were allowed to benefit from her protection. Which meant plenty of people to work on extending the tunnels.

Now that she -was- the trainer, it just made sense that more pokemon to capture would cross her path.

"Let him come in," she told her guard finally, "Feel free to light the torches on his path so he can see what he's dealing with."

Do I call for backup, or do I go it alone? The thought raced through his head as he kept his device at the ready. Delving deeper, his eyes widened as he slowly adjusted to the darkness, only to wince as light shone from the distance. Ears perked, he took notice of the shadows forming on the wall before something large seemingly lumber off. Curious he of course followed, with the light in question coming to fruition in the form of torches on the wall. "Huh..." He muttered aloud. Was he being welcomed, or did he just happen to arrive at the proper time?

Either way, given the seeming mon in question was performing such a menial task, it must have been owned. Perhaps some human was conducting research, or even worse, maybe some criminal teams found the location first. That last thought would put a bit of pep in his step. Gaining a bit of distance on whatever was before him shed a slight hint of info. The shimmering scales that let loose metallic sounds with every step. A Kommo-o...and a big one. It was clear his presence was known...and yet...he'd yet to be detoured, almost as if he were being welcomed.

Whether he was or wasn't, he had to press on. And the cave was surprisingly well developed. Sconces along wide, cleared floors, decorative furniture along the tunnel walls. All done in... what appeared to be gold.

The extreme excess hit its head when he emerged into a throne room, towering, muscular dragons fanning a single pokemon on a golden throne with Exeggutor leaves.

It was, of all things, a sylveon.

A tall one, at least seven feet and showing signs of recent growth as her throne perched in front of an ultra wormhole and a bowl of Z-crystals sat beside her throne. One in the middle of the process of becoming a totem. But for now, clearly just a sylveon. The disruptive element of a fairy type in an ecosystem run by fighting/dragons could be enough to account for things. And she certainly didn't -look- all that intimidating.

"Hey," she said simply, nodding her head towards the guest, "Welcome to my new kingdom. You wanna join as a laborer or do you have something to impress me?"

His lids fluttered as if something were in his eyes. Giving a firm rub, no matter how much he'd attempt to correct his eyes, there was no denying the view before him. "Excuse the fuck out of me?" He'd retort with a light chuckle in his tone. "Seriously guys? I get it, fairy bad. I'm a dark type myself, but COME ON. You're dragons, you have numbers." Baring an open palm against his face, he seemed more interested in the towering Totems within the room rather than their apparent keeper. "Alright, how'd you do it?" His head tilted aside as he finally meet eyes with her own.

Aria took a brief look around at her guards to see if any of them were about to be galvanized into doing something incredibly stupid... and confirmed they were not. Which unfortunately deprived her of the convenience of a target for an object lesson. Instead she just shrugged, "I'm pretty strong. I'm guessing you're going to want to fight me before you learn your place? That's been the usual routine."

The corners of his maw purse into a wide grin at the sound of those words. Widening his stance, the Zor flexed his claws upon either side of his body. Fingers twitch as his muscles flex, eager for action. "Yes please!" He'd shout before leaning forward, muscular arms he'd before his front in a defensive fashion, his posture breaking for but a moment as he beckoned her forth via large claw. Couldn't go striking first if she wasn't ready after all.

Aria sank down in her chair, seeming to get more relaxed as she slid off the throne, feet -barely- landing underneath her as she got off the chair. She stretched her arms above her head and yawned [not the move, just laziness] shaking out the rust as she scratched herself a bit like she was just getting out of bed.

Her stance was... barely a stance. She looked half asleep, if not a little drunk. But her body... her six pack abs were unmistakable, and her stretching arms had biceps more solid than any fairy type Lia had ever seen. That ass she was scratching could bounce pokeballs.

It was -still- hard not to underestimate her, the way she acted, "Alright, challenger gets first attack. That seems like a fair rule, yeah?"

“Oh?" He asked before eagerly bouncing on his feet. For such a large beast, he was rather light on his paws. "Sure, but you better not disappoint me. You've got me excited. Let's test the waters a bit." Darkness brimmed from his tense arms as his claws laced together. Large biceps cradled the sides of his head as he stretched his arms up high. Holding the pose, dark blue flames raged throughout his build like a rampant aura. Even with her tone, he cared not, it was nothing compared to him, and he'd make sure she knew it wasn't all just for show.

Lurching forward, he opened with his species signature move. Slamming his clenched fists into the ground with a vicious jack-hammer, the collection of raw dark power dispersed via physical strength burst outwards into a ripple of explosive force. Night daze! Just like that, the entire room became ground Zero for an immense explosion, not of fire but pure darkness. Ground uprooted, air dispersed, even the large dragons would be sent hurdling before such force. He held back a bit of course, a wicked grin upon his face.

Aria watched the wave of darkness come towards her and took it head on, tightening her core slightly to hold steady against the waves of force. She had been planning to dodge, but a wide range attack was actually a pretty good way to start.

Unfortunately while she was more than capable of taking it, her pets - chosen for looks - fared much more embarrassingly. "Oh come on, you guys are fighting types!" she tsked to her side as two dragons got knocked on their asses by a wave of dark energy.

"Well, that's your one, anyway..." Aria turned back to her opponent... Before rushing him at incredible speed, she held a hand out at extension, readying what looked like a palm heel strike as she rushed in... before one of her ribbons swung around, carrying what looked like a solid gold baseball bat she swung for the intruder's head as he focused on her attacking hands.

 Maw agape, eyes open wide, he seemed beyond ecstatic! Not only was she still standing, she seemed to be thriving! The moment his opponent lunged forward, rather than attempt to dodge, he'd plan to take her head on. He was built like a tank after all. All he had to do was let her land her strikes, then grip hold of her limbs as they made contact. As her palm collided with his middle, he eagerly gripped hold of her wrist. "GUH!" That was strange? The sensation of air leaving his lungs was one he hadn't felt so forcefully in a while. Ohhhh that hurt. It took him back. She was...freakishly strong.

Tilting his head, he wouldn't look to dodge, but rather meet her head on yet again. Flicking his mane aside, ample fluff would meet along the bat, adding a vast layer of padding before the dampened blow met with his skull. "Nng!" Through grit fangs, again...he was taken back. His head rang as pain shot throughout. Still...he had her now, his large hand gripping tight to her arm before he'd give a forceful tug followed by a tight back blowing embrace. Front to front, he'd look down upon her as blood trickled down the side of his face.

"Are you... trying to grapple? A SYLVEON? Oh honey I admire your bravery if nothing else." A long, ribbonlike tendril started to snake around Lia's arm, constricting it like a snake as it coiled up towards his shoulder.

As another one wrapped around his waist, pressing into his stomach and kidneys.

As another one wrapped around his legs, making his knees throb and pulling back against his legs as he started to feel his stance weaken.

"Hey, ya want a kiss? A kiss for the brave hero?" Aria teased him, still barely bothering to move her arms, letting him tug on as many appendages as he could reach confident that she had several more to her name.

He hadn't taken those ribbons into account, but surely they couldn't be that much of an issue? He had his realization as his form slowly began to shift, his legs moving against his will, his arms prying apart while turning what should have been a back crushing bear hug into a struggle to keep his arms locked in place. With a snort, he finally decided to kick it up a notch. Suddenly the sound of stretching skin and building muscle grated upon her ears. Somehow, the Zor began growing larger, not taller, but thicker.

Abs pump and grind against her as his thighs lurch with swelling muscle mass that steady his stance one more. She could feel his biceps behind her gorging with size as they dug into her back how he'd intended all along. With a rip, his pants began to give as his jacket fell from his broadening shoulders. Barring a toothy grin, he'd let his chin sink into his fattening pectorals as he gazed down upon her. "Dawww how about you kiss my pecs while you're down there before I split your spine in two?" He'd answer back with a deepened tone before trailing his long tongue against her face with panted breaths.

"Holy shit yes please!" Aria said eagerly and without a hint of intimidation, immediately shoving her face in that chest... and making Lia feel a deep chill shoot down his spine as suddenly -everything- hurt just a little bit. Where her face touched him he suddenly felt deflated and weak, his chest entirely numb...

And his winning tactic of outgrowing her suddenly was not that helpful, as the sylveon began growing as well, sucking size from him by the second as her ribbons grew tighter and her muscles plumped heavily. "Mmmm~ You've got some tasty energy in you, big boy. Better submit soon or I'll be tempted to drain -all- of it."

He half expected her to worship as her face became lost within his thick mounds of pectoral bulk. Squeezing tighter, he'd attempt to flex only for what should have been a tight pump of his musculature to feel more akin to his body going numb from a sudden chill. He could have sworn he felt a shove, though it was hard to tell if it were ribbons pulling his arms free, or...if her back muscle had suddenly swelled outwards. No...that couldn't have been right.

Arching his back, he'd dare to lift her off her feet as he put a bit of effort into this time. Through grit fangs and furled brow, he'd decompress just a little more. Splaying his clawed toes as he balanced his weight, with a rip, musculature suddenly burst from his cloth. Jutting upwards, his posture stiffen as he was forced to look straight ahead, then upwards, no more room to look down beyond his own chest that threatened to swallow her head. Musculature pumped and grew throughout his form as his body became wreathed in throbbing veins. Even his height surged as he suddenly lurch from 12 '5 to 13' 9 although something felt amiss as he was sure he'd commanded his form to double in height.

Slowly, he could feel that chill returning once more, creeping throughout his spine, only for the smaller mon within his grasp to somehow push against him yet again. He could have sworn he felt her abs baring against his own, and as his biceps slowly dwindle, the lack of space between them and her back remain just as tight as before, tho an unfamiliar set of rippling bulges and mounds press back upon locked arms. With a growl, he'd bellow as he continued to decompress more of his build. "Give up!" His clothes relent as he suddenly stood fully exposed, cloth, tech and armour falling to the cave floor.

"What? Why?" Aria asked, taking a moment off from her life force draining to look into the fox's face with genuine confusion. "Did... I give you brain damage with the bat hit? It's my weakest attack! It's how I say hi!" Aria looked over the fox with concern. He was superhumanly big, to be sure... but thanks to sucking down a metric ton of whatever energy was doing it for him, now so was she, rising in stature along with him and making her a little worried about potentially outgrowing her throne room.

Not as worried as she was about potentially stealing 'stupid' from the zoroark in front of her. "No really, do I need to be concerned about having so much of your life force inside me? Your brain -can't- be functioning properly -and- tell you that I have literally any reason to give up right now. I have, like... eight moves I haven't even used yet. And don't even get me started on the contingency plans."

He'd be taken back by that response, though he refused to let go nonetheless. "Because I hate my own contingency plan against your type." He simply retorted as he held firm to her still. Suddenly, his neck bulged as a viscous fluid spilled forth. Purple pooled from the corners of his maw just as it began to drip from the tips of his clutching claws. Sludge bomb...usually he'd gather a large amount of poison into a sphere and hurl it forth, but why bother launching an attack when she was right there. Raking his claws along her back, he'd acknowledged her strength, but what would she do about this he wondered. He'd even halt his own gains, allowing her muzzle to rise upwards as he tilted his own down, meeting maws for a deep and poisonous kiss.

"Gro-osssss," A voice answered from somewhere to his side, and he hazarded a glance to see... Aria, completely out of his grip and with her arms crossed in an unamused manner, her ribbons still connected to him as he kissed... a stuffed sylveon doll. "Listen man, I'm okay with you practicing on my substitute, and I guess I kinda gave you the wrong idea when I proposed a kiss, but for me that's, like, an -attack-"

The sylveon doll in Lia's grip soaked through with sludge, leaving only a poisoned sponge in his mouth as he tried to find purchase in the felt. The fake Aria was already starting to fade after taking the attack. "An actual, romantic, mouth-on-mouth kiss is something I'd only want to do, with, like... a guy that's hot. And strong. And loyal." The sylveon uncrossed her arms, holding one out as a silvery-pink sphere of energy formed in it... and started getting bigger. And bigger. And bigger. "And -not- full of sludge bombs. But hey! That did get -one of- the contingencies. And now I'm actually willing to moonblast ya even if it makes a mess of the cave."

She actually managed to make him blush. To stoop so low to use an unbecoming move, and FAIL on top of that. A hint of embarrassment showed, and as he gazed upon her form, there was no denying she was bigger, much bigger. Even the act of extending her arm showed an immense musculature she was nowhere near but a moment ago, her gains accented by the light of her own attack. Speaking of contingencies...that was his first, and given the situation he was already going for his second. Extending his palms, he'd look as if he were bracing to catch the attack, which...to some degree he was, though not before priming for a last second protect. Her physical strength was through the roof, but he knew Sylveon were known for their special attacks, he didn't want to know what a moon blast from a now 12ft beast of a fairy would feel like.

"Hey you can't blame a guy for trying, besides, weren't you the one burying your face in my chest a moment ago?"

"As I said that's LIKE an attack," Aria shrugged, continuing to form her energy ball... before finally letting it go. "Here's an actual one." The sphere of destructive energy started making its way towards Lia, occasionally scattering rays that burned spots onto the walls and ceiling of the room. Light and shadow seemed to become increasingly... ambiguous... as it approached, the moonball looked both too dark, too light, and the exact level of ambient illumination.

It was also rather not solid enough to easily deflect

Shifting his paws with his palms outstretched, a clear barrier formed before him. Pushing against the wall of his own protect, he grunted as his eyes wince from the sheer brightness of it all. THIS, was a moon blast?! He'd expect something of this level to befit a legendary. Something was off, despite his size he felt weaker, sluggish, standing his ground took a lot more effort than he'd like. Perhaps she didn't just drain a bit of size. Did she top off all her stats with his own? Lowering his stance he'd focus more effort into the front of his shield, taking away from it's back half as he attempt to give it a slight tilt, hunkering down a single knee as it slowly glide past, he'd press with all his might hoping his protect didn't give as he slowly set the blast on an upwards path. "Nng! What the fuck is up with this power?!"

Fortunately despite all the absurdities of the creature before him, it looked like 'bursting straight through protect' wasn't one of them. Instead the energy ball struck the shield at an angle... and slowly seemed to -grate- away. Lia's arms shook, the shield vibrating violently as the sphere of energy pushed against it and started to break away in layers, the protect flickering as it dissipated the energy before vanishing entirely. "I could ask you the same thing, y'know. Why are we both -big- now? I don't recall bulk up doing anything like that."

"Phew..." He'd give a content sigh as sweat dripped from his brow. "Wouldn't you like to know you little leach? I could tell you, but only if you give me something in return. Maaaaybe a few of those nice and shiny crystals?" The Zor tried to bargain as he slowly stood onto his two paws once more. Arms folded behind his head, he'd look her over once more. "It's the least you can do for the little boost I gave you."

"What, these?" Aria quickly back stepped to the bowl of z-crystals in her caverns, picking some up to look at them. "What do they do? Besides, enable Z-moves for people who still have trainers, if you're into that sort of thing..." Aria sniffed at one experimentally, then gave it a lick. Experimentally she tried locking her lips around it and seeing if she could drain anything out of it.

She wasn't sure she felt much, but the crystal did start to turn grey.

She solicited an annoyed grunt from the Zor. Of course she'd show interest in HIS target. It didn't help that she was a fairy, he couldn't risk her potentially tapping into their power before him. Mind racing, he tried to think up some lie only to pause as she went ahead and shoved one into her maw. He'd watch as the radiant shimmer slowly faded. Draining kiss, or perhaps something else? Even he couldn't drain them that fast. Maybe she'd put two and two together, the familiar glow of a totem pokemon, that unnatural power that bolsterd size while yielding control over lesser of their species signs of it resonate throughout her being as she lurch just a little taller.

"Nothing much...they just sell well. Humans love their jewelry and what not."

"Try agaiiiiiiin," Aria teased, this time picking up two and draining them dry. She saw the alarm on his face and could tell he was lying, even if she wasn't -entirely- sure what the crystals are for.

Her fur shone as a golden aura raged throughout her growing form. Slowly, her body thickened and rose this time much more than before. A new found weight carried each of her movements, and yet she'd somehow only become quicker. Each of her stats rose as she grew even closer to totem status, on the brink of finishing her transformation as pure energy radiated forth, accenting her thickening muscle via that new power. Now she definitely had the height advantage as he only met with her belly. "Hey! Stop that!" The Zor shouted, his words wafting with brimming heat as fire shot from his heaving lungs. A line of fire roared between her and the basket, hoping to separate her from devouring more.

The burn kind of worked! The fairium was too durable, of course, and unfortunately Aria was as well, but the golden bowl melted away.

Causing the fairium to start to scatter.

Causing Aria to gasp in alarm and attempt to scoop up as many of them as possible, bows AND arms flying wildly.

...Causing her to mistime a few catches, and end up shoving a fairium right into her crotch.

"OoooOOoooh..." she moaned as she immediately felt the -tingle-, her pussy felt amazing with the gem sticking out of it. And she hurried to shove in a couple more.

On the other hand, she was now thoroughly distracted.

Dropping to all fours, the Zor scrambled to grab hold of what he could. Clutching the precious crystals in hand, she wasn't the only one distracted. With a huff, he'd look down to the four chunks he'd managed to collect. He truly did envy her method. Without turning to face her, he could hear her soft moans steadily booming louder as it dropped deeper. Tilting his head back, opening wide, he'd begun to shove a single crustal down his stretched gullet. It wasn't the easiest method, not the most comfortable, but it's what he'd manage. GULP...he'd huff, happy to swallow down the first of few. It would take a bit of time to settle, but the growth would kick in soon.

Meanwhile, as he decided to look from the corner of his eye between the strained swallows of downing yet another, he'd notice she'd found yet another way to feed. Blushing deep, he'd watch as those ribbons trail to her nethers, stretching her depths to her limits, only for yet another violent surge of growth to allow her to force down even more...what was once single crystals already become entire hand and ribbon handfuls. 20ft...22...24... her height ramped as her musculature greedily gorge on pure power. With a BURST, shock waves boom outwards as a radiant light accent her body. Prismatic in nature, yet always seeming to prefer gold, there was no mistaking it now. Standing over three times her old height, she'd achieved that coveted form...so why the fuck was she still growing!?

"So good... holy shit..." Aria gasped and moaned, rubbing at her clit as her body found a new way to grow, absorbing fairy power and dimensional energy at an accelerated rate. She could -feel- it throbbing. She'd never been so hard down there. So engorged. So...

Sticking out...

Aria lay a claw on her clit, feeling her heartbeat pulse heavily in her chest. With every beat it grew. Extending. Sharpening. In no time at all she could get her whole hand around it, rubbing it eagerly as it swelled. Soon enough one hand wasn't enough, and she had to grip her love button with both hands. Soon enough she could only get -part- of it.

"AhhhhhhhHhnn..." she moaned, low and slow as the cum slit of her new, monster-sized cock finally formed. The firehose of pre firing out of her was such a relief, the balls extending from underneath it, inflating to the size of a -person- on her new macro frame, came into the world already pent up.

She resolved that now. Grabbing her cock tight in two ribbons she aimed it towards the intruder, and let fly a hydro pump level cumshot, jizz as thick as pudding and the grey, spent remains of the fairium z she'd devoured to make it fly across the throne room.

She wasn't just bigger, her new status took every aspect of her being and amplified it two fold. Speed, strength, vitality, even her lust felt stronger than ever before, her attributes far greater than what they already look. Midway of devouring a third crystal, Lia paused in pure shock. She wasn't just growing, she was mutating, transforming, changing. Like a deer in headlights, he'd pause before the pressure, only to feel the new throbbing of her cock reverberate through the floor even from the other side of the cave.

Suddenly, a TORRENT of hot fluid crashed upon him laced with hard crystals. Wincing out, he'd fly backwards, brought to a three point stance as he kneel just to keep his balance, two more crystals clattering to the floor as he cover his face from the powerful attack, or...at least it felt like one, a daunting thought given that was merely her casual production now. As he felt her cock throb, he could hear her orbs work, eager to replenish that hydro pump worth of load and then some. With a heavy gulp, he'd continue to just watch...words having left him completely for now as his mind raced through the sheer absurdity.

And then she turned to look at him, and smiled.
