Ch10

Location: Hearthome City, Sinnoh

Name: Rachel

I was quite shocked when I woke up in the caves of Mount Coronet and that I was at the entrance to Hearthome City! But the biggest surprise I had was that I was completely clothed and that I had a small necklace around my neck. It was made out of Spinarak thread, which was known for being very sturdy, and there was a single read feather as the centerpiece of it.

I then remembered what had happened before I passed out. Weavile had vored me, kept me warm, and I asked it to wake me when the storm was done. I had no idea that she'd actually walked me all the way from Lake Acuity to here with me in her stomach the whole way! And then she gave me a trinket and clothed me as well? I had a newfound respect for Pokemon, that was for sure.

Either way, I picked myself up as well as my bags and went through the exit of the tunnel and into the bright daylight that was Hearthome City. It was a gorgeous place in Sinnoh with bright lights, a large contest hall, a Poffin house for Pokemon, and even a Pokemon gym! The one building I set my sights on, however, was the brand new Ranger base situated right in the middle of the city. It was fashioned to be connected to the Pokemon Store but not allowing the ability to go in between them. It was only that way because the housing in Hearthome was almost all taken and the Ranger Union didn't want to demolish any buildings to put up the new base. I felt it rather convenient that it was next to the store, since I needed a quick bite to eat from a sudden hunger.

I ignored it for now and instead went into the Ranger base. I was shocked to see what was going on in there at the moment, however. There was a duo of Rangers basically chasing each other with the one being a tall boy and the other being a teenage girl around my age. The girl was chasing the guy around and yelling in a language I didn't really understand. It wasn't profanity, but how would I know if I never spoke whatever origin she came from.

"Um, EXCUSE ME!" I exclaimed loudly, making the two stop running altogether. "O-Oh! A-A-A customer?" the girl gulped when she began to realize I was standing there the whole time. "No, a new recruit... I'm just a day late because I had to go through a terrible snowstorm..." I groaned. "But could you please tell me what the problem is here?"

"W-Well... he started it!" the girl immediately blamed the guy. "It's not MY fault that you couldn't catch that Lopunny! I was only here to give you advice and how to go about the situation. But NO, you had to try to catch it and get your Styler broken in the process!" the guy exclaimed back. "Oh... I think I get it now," I smiled as I quickly got in between the two in an attempt to stop their bickering. "How about this? If you can find someone to fix your Styler and promise not to chase him anymore, I'll go and even the score with this Lopunny that caused all this."

"What? You'd actually think that it's that easy to catch that Lopunny? You're just a rookie! I've been here for 4 months more than you and I couldn't capture or befriend that hot Pokemon!" the girl exclaimed, shocking me when she said that. "Er... hot Pokemon? Is there something you're not telling me?" I asked."First off, my name is Jerry, and this is Ya-Ya... she hails from a tribal area in Unova," the dude said as if to clear up some misunderstanding.

Now I understood why I couldn't understand Ya-Ya during her chase scene... she was speaking in her tribal language! "And this particular Lopunny we're trying to get is not only "hot" but she happens to be an Anthro Pokemon, meaning she has near-identical human properties such as actual breasts, eyes, and hands and feet of a human. Because of this, the Lopunny is extremely faster and more powerful than the average. And to make matters worse, she speaks in perfect English, which means she is able to taunt you if you fail to catch her."

"So why is it so difficult? Just ask her to stay still, right?" I asked. "If only it were that simple," Ya-Ya growled. "That Lopunny may look and act human, but she's all wild underneath. And because Anthro Pokemon are so rare nowadays, we need to capture her so we can get her equipped with a tracker for scientific reasons! It's sort of important that we find her before she does harm to anyone else." "I think I got enough info... so where do I go?" "Er... the Lopunny was last spotted in Route 209." "Then I'm going!" I exclaimed as I pulled out my capture Styler and ran out the door, not wanting to hear anymore.

"My first mission as a Ranger is underway!" I exclaimed happily as I ran for the east and into Route 209. I was shocked when I ran headfirst into someone's backside the moment the Route opened up, mostly because I was looking behind me as I ran. "OW! What the hell was that for?" asked a female voice from underneath me. I looked down and was shocked to see what I had bumped into. It was a person brown fur with enormous ears, a human-like body, large breasts (that weren't covered up) and hands and feet that were also human. There was no mistaking it. I had found the Lopunny on sheer luck!

"Sorry, it was an accident," I said, being sincere about the situation as I got up and helped the Lopunny up to her feet. "Urgh... human... blech!" the Lopunny gagged upon seeing me. "Well that's no way to treat someone you just met," I smiled back at her, somewhat surprised that I was actually holding a conversation with my target. "Still... I really don't like your kind," Lopunny growled.

"Oh? And why would that be?" I asked, actually wondering why she was telling me any of this. "Hmph! Why should I tell you anything? You'll just cage me up again just like those assholes did over a year ago!" Lopunny growled as she went into a battle stance. "Well, maybe because I've never met you and I'm quite interested in why you hate humans you've never even met," I sighed. "Hmph! You're trying to talk me into joining your evil Team Galactic again, aren't you? It won't work! You took me away from my family and I will be the one to bring you guys down!"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Do I look like a Galactic goon? I'm a Pokemon Ranger, a group that was created just to protect all of Sinnoh, humans and Pokemon alike, from any kind of evil! And if Team Galactic is still out there, I need you to tell me," I said as I blocked her punch with my hand and grabbed her arms. For some reason, physically, I was actually able to hold my own against a raging Lopunny Anthro. "Wait... what do you mean, Ranger? I've never heard of such a name before," Lopunny said with an unsure tone. "You want proof, here's my ID. Rachel Strom, newbie Pokemon Ranger straight out of Snowpoint."

After seeing my ID, Lopunny looked at me with an even more confused look. "So... you're not Galactic then?" "Never was, never will be," I smiled. Lopunny was actually sniffing the air I breathed by this point as if she were trying to sense something. "Hmm... your breath says that you're truthful, yet your face tells me you're unsure." "Maybe because you were sniffing my breath without explanation?" "Good point... so what is it that you want then?"

Oh my Arceus... is this for real? I'm actually talking sense into a Wild Lopunny Anthro? I must be in a dream! "Ahem... Well, the thing is, the Ranger Union, which I work for, just wants to have a tracker put on you for... scientific purposes," I explained. "Is it going to involve pain or cages?" Lopunny asked. "No. We're just going to place a device on your body so that they can get info about how Antrho Pokemon work. It's a very rare occasion that Anthro Pokemon are created, you know."

Lopunny thought for a little bit but then eventually sighed. "Fine... but on one condition." "And that is?" "I want to take down Galactic for separating me from my babies. So I'm joining you in the fight, no questions asked." 'O-Okay... I can deal with that," I said as I felt slightly awkward. After all, Lopunny was literally offering to be my partner. And, if Ya-Ya was right, she was a wise-cracker as well.

When we arrived back at the Ranger Base, both Ya-Ya and Jerry were astonished beyond belief as well as Lopunny when she saw Ya-Ya again. "You?!" they both exclaimed upon seeing each other. "Er... heh... yeah, Ya-Ya's a ranger too, Lops," I smiled. "Er... Lops?" my new partner asked. "Short for Lopunny. Makes it easier for me to give you a nickname if you're to be a partner of mine." "PARTNER?!" both Jerry and Ya-Ya exclaimed.

After getting all of that out of the way, Lops reluctantly agreed to the new nickname and got outfitted with a special collar that housed the tracking device on it. "Rgh... it feels strange..." she groaned when we were alone in a room that the Base provided for me. "No stranger than meeting a Pokemon Anthro that talks perfect English?" I smiled back at her. "Hah! If Anthros are so rare, then how come there are five thousand other Anthros being watched as well?" "Seriously? There are billions of Pokemon out there, maybe trillions. Five thousand doesn't even make a dent!"

"Urk... good point..." Lops groaned as I heard something from on the bed. She was hungry. "Oi... I need food, but it's not even close to dinner yet..." "Well, there is another thing you could eat to hold ya until then," I smiled. "Oh yeah? What would that be?" "You're looking at her." Lopunny gasped at my proposal as if she had never heard of vore before. "B-But won't I digest you?" "If you were a half-breed of human and Pokemon, yes you would. But you're an Anthro, which means that though you may look human, you're 100 percent Pokemon. Pokemon can't digest meat, even if they have sharp teeth like Garchomp or Electevire."

"Oh? So... you'd be willing to be in my stomach? For a full four hours?" Lops asked. "I already ate on the way here, remember? Shame you don't like pizza," I smirked. "I'm more used to wild food like berries, nuts, and fruits." "Well, now you're gonna find out what Rachel Strom tastes like," I smiled as I removed my clothes and threw them to the side.

"Er... why are you getting naked but I have to wear a shirt and pants?" Lops asked. "Because I'm the food and Pokemon digesting clothes isn't a good thing," I said back. "Oh... okay. I'm a little scared for you right now..." "Don't be. A Weavile ate me on my way here from up north, so I'm pretty sure that I can handle a Lopunny's stomach." "Okay... I'll eat you head-first then." "Fine with me."

I positioned myself on the bed so that my head was hanging off the side and I smiled and actually giggled on the inside at Lops's unsure look. "It's okay, hon. Just swallow my head down and if I feel anything strange, I'll kick and bang my legs so you can cough me up, okay?" I smiled, as if reassuring her. "Okay... here I go then," Lops said with a sigh as she stuffed my head into her gaping mouth.

Lops's mouth was actually quite a bit like a human's mouth when talking about shape and teeth, save for the canines, and it made it all the more tighter for me as she quickly began to swallow me. Within at least 20 seconds (she started savoring me after getting to my shoulders) she had gotten down to my breasts and squeezing my face through her throat as I suddenly felt a stop in front of me in the darkness. I was in her stomach and, like I figured, I felt nothing. I wasn't feeling numb, tingly, or even a burning sensation. I was perfectly fine!

"Oo Ohay in 'ere?" Lops asked me from the outside. She had her mouth full with my firm ass and I could only laugh at that. "I'm fine, Lops! Nothing bad's happenin'!" I smiled after giggling to myself. MM... Orright," Lops smiled as she continued to motion my body down, my arms now joining me inside of her steadily-extending stomach. After she managed to get my feet inside her dainty mouth, she made three more huge gulps and got my legs down to the stomach to end my trip.

I could hear Lops heavily panting on the outside as if the whole ordeal wore her out a lot. "You okay, Lops? You're breathing kinda heavy," I asked her from inside her now-massive gut. "That took a lot out of me... are you positive that you're okay?" she asked me after wheezing for a couple more seconds. "The only complaint I have is that it's a little tight. Eh, at least it's not as tight as Weavile's tummy!" I could hear Lops let out a colossal burp from outside and I could only smile and laugh. "Excuse you!" I smiled. "Yeah... I'll let you out later, okay?" "I wouldn't have it any other way!"
