Why couldn't we go to the beach?

"Why couldn't we have stayed there for the night? It's almost dark." Complained Spark as she trailed along at the back of the group, her tail dragging through the dirt of the path as she went. "I've told you already, we'll stop half way back. That way when get back tomorrow we won't hit the evening rush to turn in missions." Replied Nari from her position on Niala's back, the little bird staring out down the path in front of them. "But it was the beach! We could have spend the evening on the beach! Swimming!!" The yellow lizard continued. "We're not out here to have fun, Spark! I promise you that if we have time next time we come out this way we can go the beach, so will you please drop it!" The Natu said firmly, hopping to the back of her Anorith partners armored body and up onto the bag strapped to the bug pokemon's back to look the Helioptile right in the eye. "You're going to have to get used to this. I know you're tired, but we're still on the job until we get back." "Can we at least stop soon?" Spark asked, flicking her tail and avoiding Nari's piercing eyes. "Yes we can, as soon as Ka'a has found us a good spot to camp in. Will you at least be quiet until then? It's getting dark and some of the more predatory pokemon are going to be out soon." "So what? There's four of us! None of them would dare try anything!" "Maybe, maybe not. But better safe than sorry. So shush until we hear from Ka'a." Spark looked like she was about to argue more, but another piercing look from Nari and her mouth clamped shut.

Several minutes of silence other than the occasional sound of other pokemon far off in the woods, their own footsteps, and the distant lapping of waves followed the brief argument. Before finally they rounded a boulder in the path and Niala came to a halt with a clatter of armor as a Fomantis stepped out in front of them. "Ka'a, finally, any luck up ahead?" Nari asked, hopping forward on her friends back to address the little mantis. The little pokemon nodded eagerly, pointing one of his claws down the trail. "Not far! A little off the path towards the sea rocks. The trees lessen and there's a good little clearing we can use. Nothing there that I could see." The grass type said, his voice heavy with Alolan accent. "Good! Lead the way then, we're all tired." Nari said, hopping back so the Fomantis could clamber up onto Niala's back as well, the Anorith helping to lift her friend up with one of her claws. "Just keep on the trail, I'll show you where to turn, Niala." The heavily armored pokemon nodded and started forward again, Spark groaning but following without a word after the arthropod pokemon. After several minutes Ka'a tapped Niala's shell and pointed off to their left. "That way! Just through this brush a bit." He stated, the Anorith turning her segmented body and pushing through the underbrush on the side of the trail where the Fomantis had pointed. Spark ducking down and following the path being made. Finally coming out into a small clearing in front of several large boulders with a small gap in between. "Wow, this is a good spot. We should remember it for next time we come through!" Nari said, looking about the clearing. "Especially if it's raining, or when the colder weather hits." Spark said, wandering over to the little cave under the rocks. "I think we could all fit in here." "If we had to, definitely!" Ka'a Said proudly. "All right, Let's eat and then get some sleep. It's a nice night to stay out here." Nari said, hopping up onto the bag on Niala's back and undoing the drawstrings. Using her little clawed feet to rifle through the bag and pull out several bunches dried berries, plopping the largest of them down in front of Niala and taking the smallest for herself. "Is that the ocean I hear?" Spark asked, looking hopeful. Ka'a nodded, "Yes, it's just down behind the rocks. Bit of a steep hill, not really a beach though, just rocks." The Helioptile turned his big eyes to Nari, Only to be met by the Natu's stern stare. "Don't even think about it. OR about sneaking off in the middle of the night! Remember what happened last time? You fell into a hole, couldn't get out, and were very lucky there was nothing down there that wasn't a water type or you'd have been fish food! Besides you heard him, it's not a beach, just rocks." The Natu stated with finality before turning back to her berries. Nari considered Spark for a moment, she looked rather put out as she continued eating. Nari knew she would get over it, she was just new and had issues focusing. Once she grew up a bit she would be more reliable outside of fights, but for now she had to keep a close eye on her. Turning back to her own meal she was met with the unblinking stare of Niala. The mostly mute rock bug followed her everywhere, and was an invaluable companion. And once her psychic powers had grown some she hoped she would be able to have a real conversation with her. "You going to take watch?" Niala nodded eagerly, pulling her legs in and settling onto the ground to look almost like a rock. It seemed to Nari that the bug type only needed an hour or two of sleep at most, and seemed to get most of it in short bursts. Not that you could always tell, her big dark eyes didn't blink often, even when asleep. Ka'a had found a spot under a bush and laid himself down, Spark was yawning as she slowly curled into a ball next to Niala. Finally a rest, They had barely stopped at the delivery location except to grab a bite to eat, and had been going since early morning. Nari fluffed herself up and settled in next to Niala, her eyes drifting shut.

____________________________

As her fellows slept Niala peered about the dark woods. The low overhead canopy made them mostly safe from the sky, but cast long shadows through the trees and underbrush. Distant noises occasionally drove her to look off in one direction or another, straining to look through the ever deepening night. Soft thumps through the underbrush close by, she stared, and stared and stared. ...Nothing. Spark wiggled a bit in her sleep, gnawing at the end of her tail. She considered the Helioptile for a moment. Her stomach growled. Another thump, her eyes flew up, searching the shadows, her body un-moving. Finally softer thumps, they seemed to be receding, but she kept her eyes fixed on where they came from. Eventually in the deepest part of the night she let herself have a short rest, ten minutes was all she required in a place like this. Her eye films closing, she settled.

Niala woke with a start, too much! She looked about the shadows, they had moved too much. She locked her eyes on each of her team members. Relaxing as she realized they were all still there. It must be almost morning she realized, she had been more tired than she thought. She shook herself lightly, waking up more fully and searching their surroundings again. Still nothing, they were safe. The last few hours of early morning passed, the sun breaking the horizon and slowly ascending into the sky.

Nari awoke with a start as something nudged her side, blinking away the sleep from her eyes and looking about. The sun was shining down now through the leaves of the low canopy and Niala was waking them all. Currently she was in the process of nudging Spark with one of her claws, the yellow lizard groaning and trying to roll over to avoid the prodding. "C'mon Spark, get up." Nari said, yawning and stretching her little wings and legs. "Murph, dun wanna.." Nari humphed and hopped over, shooing Niala towards Ka'a, who was sleep blissfully asleep under his bush. "I said UP!" She stated, using her psychic powers to lift her a couple of inches off the ground and drop her down again. With a yelp. "Heeyy, c'mon no need for that." "Yes there is, we gotta get going soon. So get up and awake sleepyhead." "Mmmm, is there anything to eat?" Spark asked, rubbing his eyes as he rolled onto his haunches. "We'll find something on the trail, that was the last of the berries we had last night." Spark sighed and peered up into the canopy, narrowing her eyes as she looked. Before rising to her feet and pointing upwards. "Are you sure? Look there!" Nari peered up into the shifting leaves, this wasn't a good angle but sure enough there seemed to be several yellow berries sitting up there in the canopy. "I see them, not sure what they are though.." She said warily. "We can check at least, gimme a boost! I can almost smell them!" Nari sighed and reached out with her psychic powers again, slowly lifting the Helioptile up off the ground and towards the canopy above.

Behind her Ka'a was getting up to the gentle prodding of Niala, his own little pincers swiping playfully, knocking hers away as she continued to try and prod him. Finally hopping to his feet and dodging past her, leaving the Anorith to slowly turn herself around as he stretched and took in the scene. His eyes tracing up to where Spark was being lifted, narrowing as he traced the tree they seemed to be hanging from back down. He could swear that was.. "Stop! Don't!!" The little Fomantis yelled, rushing towards Nari and Spark. They both turned, Nari's concentration failing as she started at the sudden yell, and the Helioptile falling out of the air with a yelp! Just then the canopy erupted as what at first seemed to be a tree trunk pushed through it down at the party. A set of massive jaws swinging down through the air where Spark had been a moment before. But instead of clamping shut on the floating Helioptile they continued down and closed right around Nari's round little body. The head rose again, jaws closing tight as it lifted and the Tropius stepped into the clearing. It swallowed, the little bulge of the birds body slowly sliding down the long neck and vanishing behind it's facade of leaves.

For her part Nari had no clue what was going on for several moments, Ka'a had shouted, she had dropped Spark, and then her entire world had become all hot, sticky flesh that closed tight around her. "By Arceus." She thought "I've been eaten." She felt the maw around her move, a tongue larger than her sweep around her body. Drool soaking into her plumage, making her slick and weighing her down as she started to squirm. Her wings were slow and her legs to weak to do much, the massive tongue simply curling around her and pressing her back towards the creature's throat. She realized she didn't even know what was eating her! It had all been so fast. Hot flesh pressed to her face, then opened and she was dragged into the even tighter throat. Muscles working around her and dragging her down deeper into the predators body. It felt like an eternity she spent sliding down the hot tunnel until she finally spilled out into a comparatively large stomach. Her legs kicking and wings fluttering as best they could as she tried to right herself in the pool of thick fluids. Finally finding footing and steadying herself against the soft flesh of the stomach wall. "It's ok, just, use your powers, c'mon, concentrate.." She muttered, closing her eyes, there it was! Now just- The whole creature shook and she splashed back down into the hot mess of fluids at the bottom of the gut.

Outside the rest of the party just stared for a moment as their leader became nothing but a bulge in another pokemon's neck, tracing her form with their eyes as she vanished into the Tropius's body. The huge dino like pokemon finally looking down, eyeing the rest of them hungrily.

Ka'a was the first to act, He was already in motion after all. One of his claws glowing green as he leaped forwards, the Tropius's jaws snapping at thin air as he whipped past them and sliced at the other grass types sides. A solid hit but almost no damage showed on the larger 'mon. Bouncing off one of it's large wings he dove under it, another slash glancing off one of it's legs.

Niala and Spark were moving now, the Anorith's shell glowing as she hardened it again and again, her claws digging into the dirt at her feet and spraying showers of high speed rocks at their foe while Spark sent several bolts of lightning crackling against it, small thunderclaps echoing through the woods with each one. For a moment they seemed to be doing well, the Tropius letting out a bellow and stepping back as it was assaulted by the smaller pokemon's attacks. Before it simply raised one foot, and brought it down with a massive impact. The ground shook, and branches and leaves fell from the trees as the wave of energy rippled outwards from the impact point. The impact of the attack sent Spark tumbling back into the rocks and Ka'a bouncing off the Tropius's belly and into the ground with a thud. Only Niala stood her ground in the wave of energy, only momentarily dazed.

Ka'a lay for only a moment, staring up at the dome of the Tropius's brown belly, he swore there was movement under that tough skin! Pushing himself up he darted forward between those large front legs, dodging another sweep those massive jaws made for him and bounding up a tree trunk behind Niala. He considered the situation for a moment. "Niala! Keep it up with the rocks, Spark!-" He stared down at Spark, the Helioptile was trying to rise but she looked pretty beat up. "Rest up for a moment, we'll buy you time!" The Fomantis said, turning back to their opponent as his claws began to glow again. They had to win this, they couldn't just leave Nari in that beasts belly! Even if she did have a reviver seed, he had heard they didn't always work in these situations! Niala chittered and dug her claws into the dirt again, sending another spray of pebbles up at the Tropius's face. Ka'a pushed off the tree and dove at the larger 'mon, bringing his claws in preparation for another swipe. The Tropius's jaws loomed ahead, opening wide as if to accept him into them. So far his speed had kept him out of those jaws and it wouldn't fail now. He spun easily in the air, directing his trajectory around the beasts head. Suddenly the Tropius's wings opened wide and swept forward, buffeting him with a massive gust of wind which blew the hard pebbles and the Fomantis back. He spun in the air, all his speed lost he was almost suspended, twisting slowly for a few moments as the massive jaws he had worked so hard to avoid simply scooped up under him and closed around the little grass type.

He pressed his claws to the roof of the Tropius's mouth, holding himself up as his little feet dug into the squishy tongue that lashed up at him. A glowing bubble surrounding the Fomantis as he struggled to hold himself up, a last minute Protect saving him from those tight jaws. "Niala!" He yelled at the gap where the Tropius's mouth hadn't quite shut, light glimmered through, illuminating the dripping, drooly jaws that held him. She had to hear him, should could get him out! Hot drool dripped down the sides of his protective bubble, the tongue slathering up it as the bigger 'mon tried to crush the protective barrier and get at the little snack within. He thought he heard the chittering of Niala, then the entire Tropius shook and around him, jostling his protective bubble about it's maw. If shew could just make it spit him out- Just as that thought was passing through his mind the Protect burst, that heavy pallet mashing Ka'a down into that slimy, squishy tongue in one quick motion. His little feet kicked against the hot flesh as he tried to rise and get purchase on the tongue. And the the maw opened again, Ka'a's eyes narrowing as light spilled into the sticky cavern and he looked up to see Niala's head and front legs wriggling from under the Tropius's belly where it had apparently simply decided the best way to deal with the annoying Anorith was just to lay on her. His eyes locked with Niala's as the head swung closer, and she reached out instinctively to grab him only to have her face also crammed into the tight space. Ka'a letting out an oof as he was pressed into the back of the hot throat by the arthropods face as it was crammed in there with him. He felt the muscles behind him tighten, and then with a squishing 'Glrk' he was alone again, sliding through the squeezing throat of long necked pokemon.

Even as he was dragged deeper he the head lifting, more gulps from above him signaling that the Tropius was working on Niala now. It's small teeth grinding over her shell as it tossed her back into it's gullet with each gulp. Finally the throat opened out and the Fomantis spilled out into the Tropius's gut, spluttering as he tried to get a footing in the hot, dark space. "N-Nari?" He asked tentatively as the space around him rippled and and soft gurgle came from deeper within the beast. "Ka'a?! It got you too.. why didn't you run?!" He grinned despite the situation, "How could we leave you?" He stated, waving his claws about till he felt the drool soaked plumage of the bird, snuggling up closer to her. "It's working on Niala now, I saw it. Don't know where Spark went though, he was pretty hurt." "O-of course, ugh this is the worst!" Nari complained as a squeeze from the stomach tossed them back into the hot, sticky goop. They spluttered for as they rose, and then were pressed back under as Niala was pressed into the chamber with them, filling out the rest of the space in the large stomach. The Anorith chittering as she wriggled and squirmed about the tight space, squashing the other two into the walls. "N-Niala!" Nari cried, but it was no use, the bug was panicked and squirming, causing the other two to do the same as the stomach sloshed and gurgled around them, the hot flesh suddenly squeezing in tightly, squashing them all together inside the Tropius's gut with the rest of it's food.

Outside the larger pokemon watched it's squirming stomach for some time with interest as it sat on the rocks, using it's weight to press it's gut tight around it's occupants. Down below on the rocks by the shore it could just see the little yellow dot that was the Helioptile, and a slightly green dot slowly moving towards it. It laid it's head down, enjoying the squirming struggles inside of it's belly as it set to digest it's breakfast, wings open to catch the rising sun.

Spark awoke with a start, everything hurt, she tried to remember what had happened. They had been attacked by a Tropius, Nari had been eaten! Then a fight, she had been knocked into the rocks and almost passed out. Then... she had climbed up the rocks to get a good position to attack from, and a massive gust of wind from the Tropius had blown her off, she remembered falling, then nothing.

She could hear the ocean waves close by, soft spray on her face. She tried to move, everything felt heavy, sluggish. No...There was something heavy on her! Her eyes opened to find two dark eyes staring down at her, a soft chirp coming from whatever was on top of her as she tried to move again. It was soft and squishy, but very heavy, it was a Gastrodon! "H-hey there! Would you uh, mind g-getting off?" Spark said hopefully, trying to wriggle out from under the larger 'mon. The Gastrodon tilted it's head at her, staring down at the little reptile under it. "Not to say you're not comfy and all, but could you please get off? My friends need my help or they might get eaten!" Spark said, a bit louder. What was with this thing? The slug pokemon stared at her, and then it's boneless mouth opened wide, showing the sticky innards of the pokemon's maw, right down into it's ripping throat. "Oh no you don't!" Spark crackled with electricity, directing several jolts into the Gastrodon. It didn't even flinch. Her eyes widened as it leaned in, another exclamation she was about to have cut off as the boneless maw sealed over her face, suckling lightly. It was like being sucked into gel liquid, easily giving way to her struggles but never in a way she could use to escape! Sticky slime coated her face as she sputtered and squirmed. The soft throat simply opening before her pulling her down it her struggles and continued crackling electricity weren't even present. Slowly the Gastrodon rolled back letting her aching body be dragged out from under it's soft form and into the even softer tightness of it's gullet. A rippling squeeze dragged in her waist with ease as it lifted her up and simply let her slide down into the soft embrace of it's gut. The Helioptile's squirms jiggling the soft flesh as she vanished into it, her toes and tail tip slurped up easily into the softest sleeping bag in the world.

Finally stretched out in the super soft pokemon's gut Spark squirmed and groaned, but no matter how elastic and soft the stomach was it simply conformed to her every move, rippling over her, squeezing and massaging her bruised body. If it wasn't for the fact that she knew she was food for the creature it would feel nice. The temperature was perfect, not too hot, not too cold. Just warm and soft, she found herself involuntarily relaxing inside it, her squirms slowing as it rippled and squeezed her gently. Slowly lulling her towards sleep while outside it's gut the Gastrodon slowly made it's way back across the rocks towards it's ocean home.
