"Eureka!" A portly shiny Delphox exclaimed. "I've finally done it! After years of research I've finally made the perfect Oran Berry tree!" He swung his stick of a wand around in joy. Lavi had been researching and experimenting with various fruits in hopes of solving the food shortage epidemic in his hometown. He had various reasons for wanting to do it, such as the typical monetary return in investment and the fame and notoriety that would come with success such as this. But Lavi had a deeper, internalized motive that kept him going that he didn't even think about consciously half the time: He was a glutton, through and through. The chubby Delphox's body quite literally showed off his love for food, and it wasn't as if the luxurious fluff he sported on top of that was helping much to hide the overhanging belly and voluptuous thighs he sported. Heck, food was probably the only thing to get him off that fat butt of his and get some work done instead of just be a couch potato.

But nevermind his food affinity right now, Lavi was on the cusp of a scientific breakthrough. His eyes panned over the assortment of other Oran Berry saplings he had in his lab, which was really just his living room, and marveled over how far he had come with his work. "Finally, I'll make a tree that bears fruit more plentiful and juicy than any other, and we can also hope for quick regeneration too!" He went up to the only untainted tree in the room, with his wand and a spell book in hand, and set himself up right in front of it. He flipped through the countless pages before coming to one in particular that caught his attention. The Delphox readied himself before the sapling and waved his wand in the air. With a flick of the wrist he yelled "Sha-ka!" and struck the tree with a bolt of colored light.

The room lit up for just a second before returning to normal. The sapling, though smoking, was completely unharmed. Lavi placed his wand beside the sapling and, with a grin, grabbed one of the various fruits hanging from it and plucked it from the stem. "Now just to taste and see what we've got here." The Delphox rose the oran berry to his mouth, and was surprised as juice practically exploded into his mouth when he bit down. The taste was remarkable, tangy and sweet and savory and spicy and sour and so many flavors all at once that burst from the delicate berry skin it was held behind with a simple bite. Lavi couldn't even process a proper response as he ate the thing whole, no seeds or pit to get in the way as me practically swallowed the thing whole.

"Delicious!" He shouted with delight. "I can't believe I made that!" He looked back over to the tree and saw that another berry had grown in replacement of the one he just ate. He nodded in approval, but felt a strange hunger come into him as he thought over the details, grabbing his stomach as he felt it rumble in protest. "Hmm, guess I need to eat something... well, another berry wouldn't hurt."

But the Delphox didn't quite realize that a second led to a third, and then to a fourth, and so on and so forth, and before he realized it he had an armful of the delectable berries and was still plucking more as he ate each and every one. Juice ran down his front and matted his originally silky fur in sticky juices. He gorged relentlessly on each and every fruit he could find, straining his throat and stomach ever so slightly with the amount he was packing in at a time.

He only stopped when his hand grabbed a prickly branch and not a fruit, shocking him back into reality. He looked down to his belly, which had bloated out around a foot at this point, and was audibly shocked, being silenced by his own feeding. He was conscious, but not in control. He struggled against the berries and his body, trying to stop himself from eating before he got too big. He wiggled and writhed and he forced his own arms back against himself. It was straining, strenuous rebellion that forced him to readjust his stance multiple times. Before he could find footing, his legs caught the edge of one of the sapling pots and it sent the Delphox crashing to the ground with a thud and a muffled crack.

He felt control returning to his body, shaking his head to fully reawaken himself. The oran berry sapling he had been taking from so greedily ceased its production just as quickly. He sighed with relief, having almost full control once again if it weren't for the fact he was once again on his butt, and this time beached by it and his bloated stomach. He only wondered, however, why the loss of control stopped now. He looked around the room to try to find an answer, trying and failing to readjust himself, when he felt something underneath his butt. It felt like a broken twig of some sort, but as the idea set in, Lavi came to realize it wasn't just a sapling branch, it was his wand. He grumbled under his breath, realizing that now he was stuck without a way out or any sort of reversal to the whole problem; and worse of all, no food. If only that tree would have just kept on growing.
