A/N: This idea came into my head when I went looking for interactive Pokemon stories on the web. I found one, but it was really odd. It seemed to be Vore based, which I don't recall seeing here on fanfiction dot net. Uh, so that's where this crazy idea originated. The main plotline of the story doesn't start until chapter 2, which is why I decided to post two chapters this first time.

Um, oh and it would help a bit if you read, "To Settle the Past" in order to find out more about Blitz, Valzoa, and the dimensional theory and classification system. This IS a sequel of sorts after-all, though I think all you have to read is part of chapter two and three. Normal typing is human language, italics are pokemon language.

Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon or any characters from Pokemon. I don't own the "Valzoa" from Aedis Eclipse, although I have used some of his traits for my own character. I do not own the chaos emeralds from Sonic the Hedgehog or any Sonic character. However, I have altered the purpose and powers of chaos emeralds to suit my fanfiction stories. I do own Siran, Valzoa (the pikachu), Blitz (charizard), Markus, Muragal, and the chaos badge.

A New World

Valzoa's POV

Blitz and I arrived via pillar of light, as always. We are excited because this is a mission to explore the dimension of a totally undiscovered sector! Let's take a look at the information, shall we?

……………………………………………………..

As the University rules state, I have brought Blitz with me because we are entering a new world where we don't know what to expect. He's improved a lot in fighting, so now I don't have to protect him as much as before. At least, I think so… I'll say this right now though; if we've entered a world where every life form is classified as a 'god' we are getting the hell out of here!

The forest appears to be normal looking so far, nothing out of the ordinary. We haven't seen any Pokemon or humans yet. I wonder what they'll be like? Blitz points to something I cannot see, so I climb up onto his shoulder to get a better view.

He asks me, "You think that's a Pokemon, bro?" I look and it kind of looks like another charizard, except this one is redder and lacks wings.

"Probably, maybe we can talk to him and try to get some information." We start heading over to this strange Pokemon. I run a bit ahead of Blitz to greet him.

I arrive and look at him, and he looks down at me in surprise. I return the surprised look when I realize he's a charmeleon.

"Whoa! How'd you get so big like a charizard?" Indeed, he was rather humongous for a charmeleon. I'm a bit surprised he could even move! I would, of course, have to find other charmeleon to see if this was the norm for this dimension, or if he was an exception.

He stares at me hungrily for a few seconds, which disturbed me a little. Then he replies, "Ah, how delightful!" He grabs me by the paw and lifts me up, beyond his rotund belly, to his eyes. "I had just finished a meal earlier and I was looking for a nice desert!"

I glare at him as he carries me to his gaping mouth. "You'd better keep looking then!" I unleash a Thunderwave that thoroughly shocks the plump charmeleon. He drops me and I bound off of his stomach. His belly gurgles in protest to the electricity most likely. As for him, the big charmeleon is now paralyzed and defenseless.

Just then Blitz enters the scene and stops dumbfounded at the charmeleon. The charmeleon looks at Blitz and fear reigns in his eyes. "No… oh no. Not this way, the day was going so well and I was so close, why'd it have to end this way? Mother, father, dear sister, I'm sorry I failed."

I cock my head at him quizzically, "I don't exactly appreciate you trying to eat me, but what the hell are you afraid of?"

The charmeleon whimpers, which looks kind of odd. "Him! You stupid pikachu, we're both going to end up dissolved in his belly!"

I look around, but I don't see anyone other than Blitz. Blitz looks around as well but then realizes the charmeleon is talking him. "Me? I'm not going to eat you, or Brother for that matter. What would give you that idea?"

The charmeleon becomes angry, but he still cannot move. "Don't pretend you don't know! You're so big and powerful; your belly has probably been the final place where many a Pokemon's lives have ended. Do not mock me, just get it over with!"

Charizards and charmeleons are cannibals in this dimension? What the hell have we stumbled upon?

As I was about to reply, a fearow swooped out of the sky and snatched me in its jaws. Yes, I said its, I know it probably has a gender but I prefer to insult idiotic birds by addressing them like objects. Anyways, as it flies higher into the trees I feel its tongue pulling me inside its beak. Slimy saliva coats my fur and gives me a weird, icky feeling. I start to slide towards its throat.

I hear a voice from outside, "Brother! I'll get you out of there!" I assume that Blitz slammed into the fearow, which released me from its beak. Blitz reaches out to catch me, and the fearow smashes into the ground below. I guess Blitz must have broken one of its wings in the collision.

As we descend, the chaos badge alerts me that it has scanned the saliva I'm covered in. Apparently something in the saliva weakens the abilities of the Pokemon that's been slurped so that they can be consumed alive with little protest. At first it freaks me out extremely, but then the badge notifies me that it's figured out how to defend against this new unknown property.

When we finally land I notice that the charmeleon is still sitting there. The paralysis must have not quite worn off yet, although it should pretty soon. He looks at the unconscious fearow, and then at us.

"Are you going to eat that?" Both of us look at the charmeleon incredulously. He's still hungry? What's he doing, preparing for winter hibernation?

He shrugs and slowly makes his way over to the bird. He picks it up and starts to lick it all over, coating it with his saliva. The badge confirms that his saliva has the same properties as the fearow's. Gee, this must be a quirk for this dimension, all predator-Pokemon seem to have it so far.

After he's done licking he puts the fearow into his mouth, tail end first and swallows it whole. We watch in semi-fascination as the bulge in his throat moves towards his body, and his bulging belly becomes even bigger! He belches out loud and rubs his tummy.

He sighs contentedly and rests his back against a boulder. He licks his lips and then looks at us. "Thanks for the meal guys, I feel so full. But, I think I need to eat a little bit more."

I gape at him. "Why do you need to eat so much anyways? It almost looks like you're going to burst at the rate you're going!"

He belches again before responding, "I need energy; I can feel that my body is ready to evolve again. I have to eat enough so that I can evolve into a strong charizard. The only way to do that is to consume any possible food I come across."

Both Blitz and I look at each other to make sure we're hearing correctly. He shrugs at me and I shrug back.

Turning back to the charmeleon I ask him, "Anyways, as you might have noticed we're kind of new to this land. Could you tell us about the inhabitants of this continent?"

The charmeleon shrugs, "I guess so, payment for the food right? Well this continent is divided into Kingdoms; each Elemental type has a Kingdom. Between each of the Kingdoms are wilderness areas that are filled with mixtures of wild Pokemon and civilized Pokemon that try to live in a land without Kings. The wilderness area we're in is fairly close by to the Fire Kingdom."

I guess it's a feudal type of government here then. I decide to ask him, "So does that mean you're a part of the Fire Kingdom? What are you doing out here in the wilderness then? I would think it would be much safer in the Kingdom, right?"

He responds, "I'm going through a rite of passage right now. It is a rite that all royalty of age must perform. Not only does it weed those worthy of the throne from those of the weak, but it also allows the new king to gain some size. A large king has few enemies, but a small king would have to deal with constant struggles in order to ensure he would not be consumed."

Blitz asks, "So why did you stay freaked out even after I spoke to you? Wouldn't that have told you that I wasn't a wild Pokemon?"

The charmeleon replies, scratching the back of his head, "Oh, uh yeah. I apologize for that. See, there was rumored to be a monster devourer of a Pokemon out in this wilderness area. It has already killed my two older brothers and I thought that you might have been monster since you are bigger than the average wild one."

Blitz examines himself and says, "I'm not really THAT much bigger, am I?"

I decide to cut in, "Well, are you allowed to have any help on your rite of passage? We don't exactly know much about this continent. It would help if we could accompany you back to the Kingdom after your rite is over. When does it finish anyways?"

The red one says, "The rite finishes once I evolve into a charizard, and I can fly back into the kingdom. As for help, I don't think there are any rules against me gaining allies." He nods then looks at us determinedly, and proclaims in a regal voice, "If you are to travel with me, I would learn your names and titles. I am Markus, Fire Prince of the Kingdom of Fire."

I nod my head, I'm not into bowing, and reply, "And I am Valzoa, Lord of Thunder."

Blitz bows and goes next, "I am Blitz, and I'm training to be a Lord of Fire."

Markus nods and then turns to me, "I'm not sure that I can promise you a safe welcome Valzoa. Although both the Fire and Electric kingdoms are allies, our society tends to look down on pikachus as prey."

I retort, "It will be the last mistake of any Pokemon to consider me prey and act upon it."

Markus's POV

Before I can reply, a large feraligator bursts through the trees and scoops up Valzoa. In one swift motion he slurps the pikachu down his throat and into his belly. He then pats his belly and belches.

I'm terrified truthfully. He's bigger than both Blitz and I together I'd think. And the size of his belly shows that he's devoured many dozens of lives indeed! He laughs a harsh laugh, "That was a great appetizer for the main course! And what a surprise! There are two princes from the Fire Kingdom! I didn't realize the old flying lizard had it in him to produce another son! You two are bound to be very tasty indeed!"

This is the monster that devoured my brothers? I, I'm so frustrated! Here before me is the monster that ate them, but I can do nothing against him. I cannot avenge my brothers; in fact I shall soon be joining them!

Just as the monster takes a step forward his gigantic belly gurgles loudly and he clutches it in pain. He stutters, "What, what the hell are you doing in there you damn rat!" He punches his stomach several times, but it still doesn't calm down.

We hear a muffled voice emanate from inside the feraligator, "You, sir, are going to pay dearly for eating me! This next pain is just the beginning of what I'm going to do to you!"

The feraligator moans in pain and his belly rumbles violently. Then something shoots up through his throat and out of his mouth. It turns out to be Valzoa covered in… stomach acid? I'm surprised he's not getting eaten away by it. The monster tries to move, but Valzoa paralyzes him with Thunder Wave.

Valzoa then starts wiping off all of the stomach acid on the feraligator's scales, an audible hiss is heard and the gator yelps in pain. The pikachu smiles sadistically, "Oh no, my dear. I have only just begun! By attacking me, you shall pay for all of the lives you have devoured! I'll show you how I devour something!"

The monster cowers in fear. Valzoa starts to glow yellow before he says, "Forbidden Technique, non-lethal version: Devour Energy!"

Yellow lightning arcs from Valzoa's body, forming an energy cage that holds the feraligator inside. He begins to howl in pain for some reason that I cannot tell why. His shrieks probably scared off half the forest wildlife. After about half a minute the pikachu retracts the yellow lightning back into him.

The feraligator is gasping for air; he manages to ask, "What… what did… you… do to me...?"

Valzoa smiles pitilessly, "I've drained 80 percent of all your energy from your body. You're struggling to breathe and can probably only flail around like a magikarp if in danger. I'm done with you, perhaps the rest of the forest will spare your life?" He walks towards Blitz.

I step forward to the prone monster and say, "The forest may spare your miserable life, but I shall not. I shall avenge the deaths of my brothers by adding your power to mine!"

Valzoa's POV

Yeah, I knew that feraligator was going to die anyways. I really didn't give a damn though, I mean, he ate me for goodness sake!

What did surprise me was when Markus walked up to the weak gator and began to cover him in saliva. I had to ask, "You aren't really going to eat him right? He's like twice your size and you're already bloated from all of the other meals you've eaten."

Markus speaks but keeps licking, "I will avenge my brothers, since their lives were taken from them they would be happy to know that their little brother has gained their strength. Also, I still need a bit more energy to evolve into a charizard and complete my rite. However, you are right. I may indeed die from overeating, but I am to be the next king! And the next king must have a belly the size that nobody can contest!"

Uh huh, right. This kid is going to die if he tries what he's going to do. I decide to take a chance and hand him an object. "Then have this, it's called a chaos badge, my friend created it. I give it to all of those I consider my friends. It might help keep you alive."

He takes a look at it, "And what am I supposed to do with this tiny thing?"

I tilt my head in thought, "Well, I suppose you could eat it. Its special properties should be absorbed by you."

Without another word, Markus promptly swallows it. "Thank you for considering me your friend."

I step back and watch as Markus slowly pulls the feraligator into his mouth. The gator starts to thrash mildly, but he doesn't have enough energy to do more. Perhaps if he had the chance to rest for two days he would have recovered.

Blitz and I watch as Markus slowly pulls a creature twice as big as he is down his throat. I double check to make sure my chaos badge is recording this because I'm sure the scientists back at the University would love to have a documentary. I, eh? Markus's jaw somehow enlarged enough for him to push the feraligator's large belly into his mouth. The bulge in Markus's throat is humongous and it finally reaches his gut. Markus's belly increases proportional to size and keeps growing until finally the gator's tail reaches it.

Markus gives off a mighty belch and collapses on his back. His belly moves like something alive and he groans in pain. I run towards him and signal Blitz to do the same. I tell him, "start massaging this big belly of his. I'm going to check on Markus."

I walk up to Markus's head and start to massage his neck and jaw; hell his muscles probably are stretched out way beyond what they could normally do. Markus's eyes open and he looks first at me and then at Blitz.

His face of strain slowly turns to one of calmness, "I'm not sure what you are doing to ease the pain, but I thank you most heartily. I could not ask for better companions during this fateful time."

His eyes close and he falls asleep. I turn to Blitz and say, "Well, let's keep it up. The massages should help him have a peaceful sleep."

…………………………………

After a while I noticed that Markus was sleeping peacefully even without us touching him. I took this opportunity to talk to Blitz quietly. "I'm getting a bit hungry, what do you think we should get for dinner tonight?"

Blitz holds one of his claws up to hi

s head and thinks, "Hmm, well I was in the mood for some Chinese food. I'm thinking about getting Kung Pao Chicken. You?"

I reply, "If we're having Chinese food tonight, I'll have some Mongolian Beef. I'll contact the University for some take-out."

Like Muragal, Blitz decided to do some bio-modification to his hands so that he had four fingers and an opposable thumb claw. He says he did it because it allowed him to use chopsticks easier. I've gotten better over the years at using mine.

Two small pillars of light appear in our hands and our food in take-out boxes appears with chopsticks. We eat in silence, enjoying the tasty food. That's another wonderful thing about chaos badges, they allow any user to become an omnivore that has access to human taste buds. Only Siran would have thought to add something so crazy, and yet so practical into the badge's programming.

When we're done eating we send the empty containers and chopsticks back to the University. We wouldn't want to litter after all. Then we wash our paws and claws and head back to Markus.

I head back to his head and rub it gently, and even though he's unconscious he cracks a smile. Blitz goes back to massaging his tummy and says, "You know, he looks really cute when he's resting peacefully like this."

I nod my head in acknowledgement, but before I can answer Markus glows the white color of evolution. His tummy shrinks a little, and his arms, legs, and head grows proportionally. His wings start to grow on his back so the white shape moves into a sitting position. The glowing fades and I look at the new Markus. Whoa, he's gigantic! He finally looks proportionally correct, just a lot bigger than a normal charizard and his belly seems a bit bigger than average.

He opens his eyes and moves his head to see his new wings; he then flaps his wings experimentally. Then he spots Blitz and I. He pulls both of us up, beyond his paunch, into a hug and slurps the both of us on the face before saying, "Thank you so much! I'm finally a charizard thanks to you guys! I couldn't have done it without your help!"

I notice that this time there was no numbing sensation in his saliva. So I ask him, "Glad to see you made it out okay Markus. Just wondering, did you lick us just because you were so happy to see us?"

He puts us back down and replies, "That and I've marked the both of you as my most trusted friends. Now nobody would dare try to eat you unless they wanted to face my royal wrath! And thanks to you guys, I'm a lot of royal wrath to handle!"

He pauses before continuing. "I wonder if I'm almost as big as my father? Oh! That's right, now that the rite is over, I can go see him! Get ready to fly guys, I'm heading home!"

He lifts off and flies into the sky. I climb onto Blitz's back and he follows Markus into the sky. Markus roars in pure joy, "So this is what its like to fly in the sky!"

Eventually the forest we're flying over disappears and it turns into a more mountainous region. The crowds below are bustling with activity, and I notice that over 90 percent of the populations are fire or half fire types. Soon what I believe are the commoner's housing turns into mansions carved into the mountain. No wait, this isn't a mountain, it's a volcano! Markus is leading us upwards to near the highest point.

As he approaches he bellows out a greeting, "PRINCE MARKUS HAS RETURNED!"

He leads us towards a huge balcony that overlooks the entire city. Two charizard about Markus's size appear there, wearing elegant crowns decorated in red and gold colors. Another, smaller, charizard is also there wearing a golden bow on her head.

The pair stands there regally as we land, but the smaller one runs up and hugs Markus. "Oh brother, you've grown so big! You must have hunted very well out in the wilderness!" She pats his ample tummy with sisterly affection. "And to think, you used to be the runt of us all, but now you are the greatest!"

Then she turns to us, "Oh, who are these…" She pauses to take a sniff in our direction. "Hmm? You marked them with your royal tongue?"

The biggest one, I think he's the king, demands, "I can understand why you might mark a fellow charizard, but why did you mark a pikachu? Was he amusing? For I cannot otherwise comprehend why you would mark a rodent like a brother!"

I close my eyes and think calming thoughts, but they're interrupted by another voice. This one is different from sister's voice so I'm guessing it's the mother's voice. "Indeed, we are allies with the Electric Kingdom, and a luxray would have been a fine companion. But a pikachu? They are small and flighty creatures, surely he must be terrified and out of his mind right now."

Calm thoughts are not working, I suppose I could just turn apathetic but that would give the royal family the wrong impression if Markus decided to stick up for me. The sister now asks, "Or maybe you marked him for me, brother? If you did, I promise to take good care of the little thing. I can be his mommy and I'll make sure he has a wonderful five years of life!"

FIVE YEARS?! Pikachu only live for five years in this world? Great, I feel really old now. Chaos badges also extend the life expectancy of the user by many years. Biologically I'm still in the young adult stage of pikachus, but I've been alive for 38 years now. I'm actually pretty grateful for that; I get to have more adventures with my friends than any normal pikachu here.

I open my eyes, extremely irritated, but then Markus introduces us. "I'm sorry sister but he's not a pet. May I introduce to you the pikachu Valzoa, Lord of Thunder; and my other companion the charizard Blitz, a Lord of Fire in training."

He continues, "During the rites the monster that had devoured my brothers came upon me and wished to add me to his belly. I would have surely been eaten had not these two helped me defeat him. With their help I could finally avenge my brothers, and at the same time I gained the energy I needed to evolve into a charizard."

The king nods his head slowly, "I'm glad to hear that the monster is gone for good. You did a good job my son. Now, let us get prepared for the feast that shall be held in your honor!"

The charizards walk indoors leaving both Blitz and I alone. Part of me is irritated that they would just dismiss us from their minds, but on the other hand I'm glad they did not question further. I turn to Blitz, "So, what do you make of all this?"

Blitz gives a start and then looks at me blushing a bit. "Oh uh, well. Say, doesn't Markus's sister look pretty hot?"

I contemplate for a moment before answering, "Sure I guess, and she's actually around your size. Maybe you two will get to know each other better at this party. Speaking of which, I'm a little afraid to find our what they'll be serving as the main course…"
