Chapter 5 I Believe I Can Fall

It was eight o'clock am when the team woke up. They figured that they'd need to be as healthy as possible when they challenged Falkner to a gym battle. After everybody had awakened, and had breakfast, they ventured into the city. They soon realized that nobody cared about Tracy's appearance.

"Oh, that's right. Nobody cares, even if you have a Legendary Pokémon following you, so a Hybrid won't faze people at all… Man, people are stupid." Danny said.

After the group entered the gym a man came up to them. "Yo! How's it going, Champ in the making? Here's a little tip: Falkner uses flying-type Pokémon. So you should counter with ice and electric-type Pokémon, and avoid using grass-types."

"Thank you, good sir." Danny said. "So, where is the leader?" Danny asked.

"Well, if you step on that platform, it'll take you up to the second floor. But be careful - you could fall."

Ryan lead the way to the platform, after everybody was on, it quickly shot up to the second level. The group got off of the platform, and started towards Falkner. "Wait!" Danny shouted. Everybody stopped. "There's a secret path we can take so we avoid running into other trainers, whose main job is to weaken our Pokémon, so we have to trek back to the Pokémon Center to make our trip time-consuming."

Danny led the way across the hidden bridge. Once they had crossed, Danny let Ryan take the lead again.

"Hey, Danny? Could I use you as a Pokémon?" Ryan asked.

Danny replied, "Only as a last resort."

Falkner walked up to Ryan. "So, you want to challenge me, huh? Well, alright, then, let's get started. The rules are simple: If you win, you get a badge, and traded Pokémon up to level 20 will obey you without question."

"How does a badge alter how traded Pokémon obey me? That makes no sense! If Pokémon can't use man-made items, like potions and sunglasses, then why would they care about a badge?"

"Seriously, Ryan, don't bother with logic. It's pointless. Besides, Pokémon can use glasses, and plates, and metronomes, and incense, and robots, and-"

"Okay! I get it, Danny. Sheesh." Ryan replied.

"Are you planning on challenging me, as well?" Falkner asked Danny.

"Indeed, I am."

"Well, then, today's your lucky day! Because my friend Bugsy is stopping by for a visit, and we could do a double battle! You could try to get two badges at once!" Falkner explained.

"Sweet! When does he get here?" Danny asked.

"Right now!" Bugsy said as he walked up behind Tracy. "Let's make this battle interesting. Each of us will only use one Pokémon. Once it is defeated, we can no longer fight – we simply stay and watch and if one of the trainers loses, they won't get a badge, even if their partner wins."

"Okay, but you pay double the money if we win! Not including the amulet coin effect." Danny said.

"It's a deal!" Bugsy shouted.

"Tracy, will you be my Pokémon?" Danny asked.

"Danny, do you want to be on the menu?" Tracy replied.

"M-- Maybe."

"Danny, I really don't want to… I mean, what if I lose control and eat their Pokémon?"

"Do you know the move spit up?" Danny asked

"Yes." Tracy replied, a little bit confused.

"Then no worries. Please, take this amulet coin, and get ready, after all, we have no idea what Amelia may pull. If we get stronger, we'll get better. Besides, what level are you, anyway?"

"Nine."

"Seriously? I'm level twenty-six… But, hey, that just means that you're a really nice person, after all, you clearly didn't eat that many people if you're only level nine."

"Actually, humans don't give exp…"

"Oh. Well, then… uh… Look, the best way to improve your self-control would be to battle, right? But, if you'd really rather not, I understand and I'll happily send out Sari… no, she's grass…. Ruby, no, she's fighting... Well, this is a bit of a problem… none of my other Pokémon are ready to battle yet… I could fight! Yeah, that'll work! If I battle, then I'll get stronger… And… possibly evolve into a more Pokémon-like form… huh… that'd be interesting… I think."

"No, I'll fight! If I don't, then I'll have to watch you get hurt. And I don't think I can handle that." Tracy said, as she wrapped her coils around Danny and stared into his eyes.

Danny spun out of Tracy's coils then held her in a dip, their faces only inches apart. "Ah, but if you battle, you'll get hurt."

"I'd rather be the one to get hurt, if I could choose." Tracy replied as she batted her eyelashes.

Danny blushed and kissed her on the lips, the kiss lasted for a minute. When it was over Bugsy stared. "Did he just make out with that Pokémon?"

Danny looked over at Bugsy. "Well, it's a funny story. You see…" after an hour of Danny explaining how he, Tracy and the others became part Pokémon, the leaders seemed to understand.

"Ah, I understand." Falkner said. "And that's why you can make out with Pokémon without it being bestiality. That makes sense."

Danny stared at him for a second then yelled, "You completely missed the point of the story! The point was for you to understand that Tracy and I are humans!"

"Oh… That makes a bit more sense, I suppose." Falkner replied.

"Let's get on with the battle." Tracy insisted. "Me and Ryan's Pokémon versus Scyther and Pidgeotto, right?"

"How did you know what Pokémon we'd use?" Bugsy asked.

"Please, before I was turned into a lamia, I did some research on the gym leaders around the regions. And those are you strongest Pokémon, right?"

"Yeah," Falkner replied. "Okay, Go! Pidgeotto!"

"Go! Scyther!"

"Go! Tracy!"

"Go! Lust!"

"No frickin' way!"

"Go! Grace..?"

"Fine with me, but if she faints, you're gonna have a meeting with my breakfast."

Tracy was the first on the battlefield. Scyther and Pidgeotto came out at the same time. Grace followed, she took one look at the situation and jumped into Tracy's arms. She hid her face in Tracy's cleavage.

Danny took one look at this and shouted, "Yuri! I see Yuri!"

Every male in the building stared at the sight, and Laura came out of her Pokéball and stared, as well.

About five minutes went by with Tracy encouraging Grace to fight, eventually, Grace agreed, but only if Tracy promised to protect her.

Ryan asked, "Are you guys ready? I mean, if we need to keep waiting, that's fine. But, if you're ready, there's no sense in letting her have time to have second thoughts."

"I'm ready." Grace said.

"Tracy, you have to protect Grace, because I don't want to spend my last moments inside Lust's stomach."

"That's selfish. Keep with that mindset, and it won't be Lust's stomach you'll have to fear." Tracy said as she glared at him.

"Tracy, look out!" Danny shouted, as she was hit by an Aerial Ace attack.

"Oof!" Tracy grunted as the impact made her fall on her back.

"Grace, use future sight on Pidgeotto! Then use Growl on both of them!" Ryan shouted. "And please, be careful." Grace executed her orders while Danny ran up to Tracy and gave her an Oran berry.

"Tracy, are you okay?!" Danny shouted.

"Ugh… I'm fine. But I'm also hungry." Tracy said as her stomach growled loudly.

*The foe's attack harshly fell!*

"Seriously, what is with that? Last time it was 'super effective' and now 'harshly fell.' Who keeps saying that stuff?!" Ryan demanded.

"Maybe it's God?" Danny said as he returned to his spot next to Ryan.

"Tracy, use Scary face!" Danny shouted.

Tracy looked at her opponents and made a face, she grinned creepily as she licked her lips.

*The foe's speed harshly fell!*

"Now use Glare!" Danny shouted.

Tracy glared at Scyther, and Pidgeotto was hit by Future Sight. "So, what do I do now that-"

*Scyther is paralyzed! It may be unable to move!*

"Tracy, use Lick!" Danny shouted.

Tracy slithered up to Scyther. Scyther shuddered as Tracy's long tongue covered its face.

"Now use Swallow! …If Scyther's arms won't cut you, that is."

"Please, I once ate a hiker who was sporting cleats and a machete, no damage done." Tracy said as she unhinged her jaw and her tongue wrapped around Scyther's head. She grabbed Scyther's torso as she slowly pushed it deeper into her mouth. Once she got to Scyther's shoulders, she stopped for a moment as she wrapped her coils around Scyther, so it couldn't attack. She then continued, slowly, but steadily progressing. Once Scyther's arms were completely in her mouth; she uncoiled her body, grabbed Scyther's legs, and shoved the rest of it into her mouth, as she tilted her head back. The bulge that was Scyther slowly moved down into her stomach. Scyther kept moving until only its legs remained within Tracy's human half. Tracy fixed her jaw then belched loudly and she started to rub her bulging belly.

Once the Gym leaders and Ryan snapped out of their shock, Bugsy started to cry. "How could you do that to my poor Pokémon?!"

Tracy groaned, and sluggishly said, "Don't worry. Scyther's blades would give me indigestion. Once the battle is over, give Danny Scyther's Pokéball and Danny can reach down my throat and make Scther return. How's that sound?"

Bugsy nodded his head then fell backwards.

*Bugsy fainted!*

"Grace, I'm a little too full to move around much. But if you can Bring Desser- I mean, Pidgeotto over here, I'll finish it off for you."

"Okay, Tracy." Grace said.

"Grace, use Psychic!" Ryan shouted.

Grace's eyes lit up. She lifted her hand and Pidgeotto stopped in mid-air. Grace moved her in all directions, and Pidgeotto moved with Grace's arm motions, slamming into walls, the ceiling, then finally reaching Tracy's maw. Pidgeotto Flapped its wings wildly as Tracy started to swallow it Head-first. Tracy grabbed Pidgeotto's wings, and forced them to its sides before she stuffed the rest of it into her mouth. She gulped loudly as her newest prisoner sank into her stomach. She belched again, and fixed her jaw. "Mmm-mmm! That was even better than KFC!"

Falkner fell on the ground face-first.

*Falkner has fainted!*

An hour went by with Danny trying to get Tracy to regurgitate her meal, and Ryan trying to awaken Falkner and Bugsy. Once they awoke, they were overcome with sorrow, until they heard, *Scyther has fainted!* followed shortly by *Pidgeotto has fainted!*

"Quick! There's still time to save them!" Danny shouted. "Toss me their Pokéballs!"

Falkner and Bugsy did so. Danny caught one in each hand, and shoved both this arms down Tracy's throat. A few moments later, he pulled his hands out, he tossed he Pokéballs to their owners, and as they flew through the air, they opened, revealing very a weak, but still living Scyther and Pidgeotto.

"Hey, I feel kinda funny." Grace said. She started glowing, then growing. She soon stopped growing, and as her body dimmed down, everybody saw that she had evolved. She was now a Gardevoir with a pink horn sticking out from between two cantaloupe breasts. Her gown was longer than Lust's, and her hair was long, and flowing. "Tracy! Ryan! With your help, I finally evolved!" She ran up to Tracy and gave her a two-second peck on the lips, which proceeded to give Danny and the Gym leaders each a nosebleed. She then ran up to Ryan and kissed him on the lips.

After a minute, Ryan said, "Ay, can I av my tongue bak?"

Grace slowly pulled away from Ryan and said, "Hey, Lust can Ryan, Tracy and me sleep together tonight? Pleeease?"

Ryan's nose started to bleed, as well.

Lust glared at Danny, then asked her sister, "What do you mean?"

"I mean, I want to sleep with my head resting on Ryan, while we're lying against Tracy. What did you think I meant, sis?"

"Uh, never mind… Anyway, I'm just Glad I can finally remove my chest binding, after all, sis, you revealed that you have breasts, and I certainly don't want to let them think I'm flat." Lust's eyes lowed, a few seconds later, a ribbon-like material came out from Lust's dress. It flew into Danny's face. "There's a present for having Tracy keep my sister safe." A few moments later, the bulges that were Lust's breasts started to appear from behind Lust's dress. They were a bigger than Grace's by a bit, and they bounced as she ran up to embrace her little sister. "Grace, I'm so proud of you for your fighting skill." She then looked at Ryan. "Try anything with her and you'll be living in my small intestine!"

"What if she comes onto me, and I can't shake her off without using force, like pushing her? I don't want to hurt her or her feelings."

"If it's all her, then you'll get off with an hour in my stomach."

"Can I hug her, and comfort her?"

"Hugging I can allow, but kissing her anywhere beside her hand on the top of her head is forbidden!" Lust said sternly.

"I can live with that." Ryan said with a sigh of relief.

Bugsy and Falkner slowly approached Danny. "H-here," they said, "take the badges – you earned them!"

Bugsy started to regain his composer. "And take these two TM's. They'll teach your Pokémon U-turn."

Falkner Chimed in, "And take these two TM's, as well! They'll teach your Pokémon Aerial Ace. By the way, we're giving you your badges and your friend's badges, because we'd rather stay away from your Pokémon."

"I understand." Danny replied.

"Come on, gang, let's get going before you cause any more trouble!" Danny said.

And with that, Ryan and company headed off towards Azalea Town, where they would find-

"Oh, God! Not my home town! Now, I'll have to wait a week before I head home, just to be sure that they're gone!"
