Eri vs Cyn

Cyn found a bounty that seemed too good to be true, but quickly found herself in over her head. Can she possibly beat this beautiful fox rogue and bring her to justice?!

Story I wrote featuring tero-dragon 's Ninetales Eri. I've been in a real "Cyn Prey" mood lately and this idea has been on my mind for a while, so I'm glad I finally got around to writing it rather than just having Eri teasing Cyn in the back of my head all the time ;P

Eri vs Cyn

The red Liepard made her way through the forest Mystery Dungeon, her ears perked and her eyes sharp as she scanned each path she walked past for movement. This was the floor where the last Rescue Team had encountered her mark; an elusive Ninetales name Eri. Cyn wasn't entirely sure what the vixen was wanted for, but the Guild was paying her weight in gold. It was more than enough motivation for her.

The trees rustled behind her and the Liepard spun around, her tail curled up and a Shadow Ball appeared in the curve of its scythe-like tip. A Pidgey fluttered out of the branches, letting out an alarm call as it flew out of sight. She sighed and lashed her tail to dismiss her held attack, leaving the shadowy ball of energy evaporating into wisps of dark smoke. She hated doing missions alone, but the Winners were spread thin. They really needed some new recruits, but between running a town, a Rescue Team and a kinky underground club, the feline had her paws full.

"Where are you?" Cyn muttered to herself as she continued to pace down the path towards the open clearing ahead. Sparkles of sunlight shone in her eyes as she approached the room, glittering from the Wonder Orbs and items littered about the floor. The red Liepard had been in this business long enough to know a Monster House when she saw one, but usually the Pokémon were all in hiding. She could see a figure in the middle of the room; a Ninetales wearing a long black cloak, her tails boredly shuffling back and forth behind her. Eri looked over her shoulder, a wide smile crossing her muzzle that almost reached the sleek orange patterns surrounding her eyes as she spotted the Liepard.

"Oh, a visitor! Come in, I'll make some tea~" The vixen waved her paw before standing up and shaking off her fur. "You'll have to excuse the mess; I haven't had a chance to clean up since the last team," The vixen continued to prattle on as she playfully dusted the ground with nine tails, causing dust to rise around them in a cloud as she walked. "You're a little early, but feel free to sit down and have an Apple and I'll be over to devour you as soon as the rest of your team gets here."

"I came alone, and from the looks of you that's all the backup I needed." Cyn announced, her scythe-like tail slashing the air behind her as she stepped into the room. Her fur stood on end as she waited for Pokémon to leap out and attack her, but no one came. 'So it really isn't a Monster House,' the Liepard thought as she continued to watch the vixen move about the room, carefully rolling her orbs into a neat little pile. "We can do this the easy way or the hard way," Cyn told her as she lowered herself, her hips wiggling as she reared up to pounce. "But either way, your bounty's mine."

"Awww, a fellow lonely heart~" Eri's voice suddenly sounded much closer. The Liepard looked over her shoulder just in time to see the vixen was suddenly right next to her, her forepaws grabbing her haunches. She pressed her muzzle against her flank, smooching one of the heart-shaped spots on her rump with a deliberate 'Mwah~' noise. "Speaking of which, I love these, they're so cute~"

"Hey! Get off me!" Cyn yelled, her tail slashing down at the Ninetales. The fox exploded into a puff of sweet-smelling smoke immediately. 'Substitute...' Cyn recognised the move immediately as she turned to glare back at the original, who gave her another playful wave with her forepaw... or at least, she thought it was. 'Freaking Ninetales. This is going to be harder than I thought.' She kicked her hind leg to get the slobber off her butt cheek before preparing to battle again, her tail swinging in wide arcs behind her to catch any further sneak attacks. She crouched with her front low to the ground, her rear high as her tail lashed out, furiously sparking with the beginnings of a Shadow Ball.

"It's so cute how you keep going back to the play bow. Do you want to play, pretty kitty~?" Eri smiled as she lowered herself to mimic Cyn. She swung her hips left and right, her tails fanning out behind her as she cloak rustled against her fur. "Ooh Nya, Purr-lease can we have a fight? I'm such a good little civvie girl~" The Ninetales taunted her. She hopped up and spun in the air, landing with her ass pointing towards Cyn as she continued to shake her ass without missing a beat. "I love getting eaten by mean criminals~"

"That's it!" Cyn snapped, her rage overtaking her common sense as she charged recklessly at the Ninetales. Her claws flashed with the light of her Fury Swipes attack and she leaped the last few feet, her forepaws slashing angrily at the Ninetales' tails "You're going down, fluffball!"

Eri smiled over her shoulder as her yellow fluffy tails suddenly turned into shining metal shortly before the Liepard's claws made contact with them. Cyn's eyes widened in alarm as her claws scraped uselessly against them, filling her ears with the horrid scraping sound as she continued to flail her paws to find any soft fur among the metal. "Wh-what the hell?!"

"Iron Tail. Lucky for you too, do you have any idea how many times I could curse you if that attack had landed?" Eri replied with a wink. "Though having you on my hips for a thousand years is pretty appealing, now that I think about it~" She teased as she sat down and casually licked the back of her paw, her tail tips curling to better absorb the blows. "It's adorable that you still use Fury Swipes though. Are you going to try Tail Whip and Sand Attack next~?" She teased, her voice dropping into a sickly sweet tone as she batted her eyes at the furious feline. "Is the kitty-cat going to show off the Tackle move she just learned~? Awww, look at her little Baby Doll Eyes~"

"Q-quit making fun of me! I'm The Winners team leader, this isn't a game!" The Liepard snarled, her claws glowing as she continued to rapidly swipe at the tails. The fox wouldn't be laughing when her tails had chunks of fur missing! Eri rolled her eyes and shook her head before lowering her tails before swinging them upwards suddenly. The nine metal tail tips clipped the underside of Cyn's jaw with a 'Clang!', knocking the cat onto her back as Eri swished her tails once to return them to their soft fluffy state.

The Liepard's head spun as she laid on the ground, her vision blurring and refocusing until she looked down between her hind legs and saw the Ninetales rearing up to pounce on her, her butt wiggling playfully as she grinned in anticipation. The vixen leapt forward but Cyn quickly bunched her hind legs under her belly, absorbing the blow and folding them up to store energy like a spring. For a moment there was a look of surprise in Eri's eyes, the Liepard grinned and kicked forward, launching Eri in an arc through the air before she rolled to a stop ten feet away.

Cyn quickly got back to her feet to prepare for another attack, but the Ninetales was already on the move, running in the opposite direction. As the Liepard followed her gaze she saw Eri's target; a bright blue Wonder Orb among the other items on the ground. The Dark-type dashed forward, her paws pumping beneath her as she used her superior speed to outpace the Ninetales. Whatever that Orb was, she was getting to it first!

She leaped the last foot and snatched it in her forepaws, holding it tightly to her chest as her claws dug in to activate it. The world shifted in a burst of bright light as the Orb activated, and the Liepard suddenly found herself in the Ninetales place; and the Eri standing in hers. The vixen smiled and lowered her front, her rump raised as the Liepard soared towards her, still carrying the momentum from her leap before they were switched. She finally landed with a 'Fwump!' against the fox's rear, and Eri's tails quickly curled around to pin her against it.

"Nice try, kitty. I'd have saved that Switcher Orb until you were inside me though." Eri teased her, her tongue sticking out as she ground the unfortunate Rescue Team leader into her fluffy cheeks. The Liepard finally turned herself around, letting out muffled obscenities as her paws pushed out from the spaces between the Ninetales' curtain of tails, only to get squeezed and shoved back under. Eri murred to herself, her paws digging at the grass as Cyn squirmed against her rump. "Mmmh, better hold your breath. Can't be a lot of air under all that fluff~" She teased as her tails curled tighter against the cat.

Finally Cyn's tail broke free and swung hard, blazing with the shadowy energy of her Shadow Ball. Eri gasped and quickly dodged to the side, avoiding the attack but losing her grip on the cat in the process. The feline slipped out from under her, erupting from her cloak like a cat out of hell. Her paws were glowing with a move the rogue hadn't seen before. Suddenly she started patting down her cloak as she realised something was missing. "W-wait, where's my..?"

The Liepard turned to face her, a confident grin on her muzzle as she lifted her forepaw to reveal a single Blast Seed between its two digits. The Thief move faded from her claws, and Eri's eyes widened in alarm as she lowered herself in preparation to evade... though with how close they were, it would be hard to get out of the blast radius whether it hit her directly or not. "Hope you weren't planning on using this," she purred, rolling the seed between her claws before tossing it back in the Ninetales direction. "It's been a BLAST!"

"Right back at you!" Eri shouted as a jet of flame shot free from her jaws. The seed erupted as the flames made contact, exploding in a burst of fire and smoke between the two Pokémon. Cyn was thrown through the air from the force of the explosion, bouncing a few times on the grass before finally coming to a stop lying on her side. Her red fur was covered in leaves and dirt, and as she stumbled back to her feet she realised from the sticky wad of sweet juice she had landed on a berry, or possibly a small pile of them given how much of a mess there was. She shook off the debris as best she could, her green eyes searching through the smoke for signs of the rogue.

Finally the smoke cleared enough to reveal the Ninetales standing across from her, her paws dug into the earth and her tails swishing confidently behind her, nothing but a slight singe on her fur and cloak to reveal she had ever been near the explosion when it happened. The Ninetales smiled and gave her a playful wave of her paw, only to duck her head as the Liepard flung a Shadow Ball at her face. Cyn had Eri on the run, sending one Shadow Ball after another with each angry lash of her tail, the Ninetales barely managing to stay ahead of the explosions of ghostly energy exploding off the ground and trees around her. "Hey, hey! Watch the cloak!" Eri shouted back at her.

"You can't run forever, lady!" Cyn shouted as she dug her paws into the ground, her tail lighting up with five more Shadow Balls that she sent out in an arch with a single swing. They danced around each other as they flew through the air, hurtling towards the Ninetales at breakneck speed. The rogue brought both her forepaws hard down on a Wonder Orb in front of her, and the light washed over her body as it shattered into glistening crystals.

The Shadow Balls careened towards her, but the Ninetales dodged them effortlessly, her form a blurry vision as she ducked and dodged from side to side, each Shadow Ball passing by and smashing into the tree behind her. The Liepard snarled in frustration and continued to rapidly send them towards the fox, but there wasn't much she could do to keep up with the effect of an All-Dodge Orb. "Q-Quit screwing around and come quietly!" Cyn snapped at her.

"You really like that move, don't you? Dare I guess it's the only move in your arsenal that's any good?" Eri teased her with a knowing smile. Cyn's expression dropped just long enough for the Ninetales to get her answer before hardening again as she continued to send a flurry of Shadow Balls in her direction. "And always from the tail too. You know, most Pokémon form the Shadow Balls in their mouth, but I guess you'd rather keep yours clear for actual bal-"

Fwomph! One of the ghostly balls finally hit its mark on Eri's chest, breaking the Ninetales out of her All-Dodge state and sending her tumbling across the floor. She landed in a crumpled heap of fluff and tails, her cloak covering her body and face. Cyn stared at her, breathing hard as her fur gradually started to lower back down from its upright state. "...F-finally..." she panted, her tail swishing to disperse the last of the shadowy energy clinging to her scythe. "...thought she'd never shut up."

As Eri continued to lay still on the ground the Liepard took a few cautious steps forward, her ears tucking back in concern. "H-hey, dude... you okay?" she asked, her paw outstretched to shake the Ninetales as soon as it met her cloak. As Eri didn't respond Cyn's heart started to race. She lowered her paw back to the ground and started to dig at the grass, her tail twitching nervously behind her. "Come on, say something. It was only a Shadow Ball. It's not like I hit you with Hyper Beam."

Something flashed under the Ninetales' cloak, but Cyn barely had time to respond before the fox was suddenly launched towards her. Eri spun in the air, her tails hiked as her rear planted firmly on the Liepard's face, knocking her onto her back and pinning her to the ground as they both landed with a 'Fwump!'

"Mmh, good hit, kitty-cat. Landed me right on top of the Pounce Orb." The vixen smiled as she let the shards of the Wonder Orb fall through her paw digits and down over the Liepard's torso. Cyn's struggling quickly shook them off, leaving them disappearing into the ground around her as the energy returned to the dungeon it had spawned from. Eri smiled, forcing her rear back against the Liepard's face as she lowered her front to pin her under her weight. "Now, are you going to apologizeapologise for attacking me, or am I going to have to sit here until you pass out?"

"Mmph!" Cyn shouted, though Eri pushed back as her jaws opened to fill her mouth with her yellow fluffy rear. The vixen chuckled to herself as she sat back on the Liepard, her cheeks squishing either side of her face as she idly picked up a nearby Oran Berry with one of her long golden tails. She nibbled on it gently, smiling as the singed fur from the Shadow Ball gradually returned to its former fluffy glory, not to mention the other wounds from her little bout with her would-be bounty hunter. Once she had gulped down the last of the Oran Berry's healing juices she let out a satisfied sigh, bouncing her plump cheeks against Cyn's face as her nine tails swished happily through the air behind her.

The Liepard finally got one of her paws free and smacked it against the Ninetales' left flank, causing Eri to let out a yip. The Ninetales responded by lifting her rear up slightly before dropping it hard on the cat's face, her hind legs raising as she put all her weight on the feline's head and chest. "Hmmph, rude! Some Pokémon would pay a lot for this privilege, you know," Eri remarked with a swish of her tails, only to return to her usual mischievous grin. "Besides, I wouldn't be so mean to it if I were you, you're going to be spending a lot of time together after you're done getting gurgled~" She teased, wiggling her rump pointedly against Cyn's face.

A glimmer of purple caught her eye, and as she looked up she noticed the cat's tail swishing between her legs, the ghostly light of her Shadow Ball in the crook of her scythe. Eri gasped and quickly rolled off her comfortable Liepard seat, leaving Cyn gasping for air as she laid on the grass, prone and sweating through her red fur."You know, I never did get your safe word."

"Fuck you," Cyn groaned, her eyes closing as she tried to catch her breath.

"Not the best I've ever heard, most Pokémon go with something out of place, like 'Pickle' or 'Banana'," Eri tilted her head. The Liepard glared green piercing daggers at her, her breath finally slowing back to a normal pace as her tail continued to flicker with the dark aura of her primed attack.

"More Shadow Balls, hm? You can't have many left in you," Eri noted as she took a few steps back, putting some distance between herself and the feline as Cyn gradually got back to her feet. The two circled each other, their eyes locked as Cyn's tail blazed with the held Shadow Ball, swirling and steadily growing in size and power. "Careful kitten, if you keep missing you'll have nothing left but your bappy paws," Eri covered her muzzle and giggled into it. "Oh sorry, I meant 'Fury Swipes.' "

"Oh I've got plenty more, I've sure as hell got more ammo than you've got items left to throw at me." Cyn replied, her voice a low growl as she bared her fangs at the rogue. Eri's eyes drifted to the items still scattered over the floor of the dungeon; the Liepard's previous assault had managed to take out a lot of her arsenal, there were only a few orbs, berries and seeds left. "I can do this all goddamn day, so either start running or stay here and get captured," she snapped, her claws flexing and raking the grass as she prepared to charge. "Either way you're going to be losing some fur in the process!"

"Aww, but her fur is so beautiful~" Eri's voice called from behind her. Cyn turned, her emerald eyes widening as she saw another copy of the Ninetales walk past, her tails brushing down the stuck up fur on her back as she stuck her tongue out. "It's such a pretty shade of yellow~"

"Thank you, Eri~" Eri giggled as the copy joined her, briefly sharing a nuzzle. "I'm so glad you think so, your fur is pretty too!" She smiled, as she gave herself a smooch on the nose. "Mwah~!"

"Don't bullshit me, I know that's just a Substitute. I saw you use it before!" Cyn snapped as she lashed her tail, the Shadow Ball in its crook sparking and shuddering as it beckoned for release. "You can't fool me that easily. I know which one's the real you now!"

"Clever girl! Nothing gets past her." Eri's voice called again, drawing the Liepard's gaze to the canopy above. Another Eri smiled down at her, reclining on a thick branch before rolling off of it. Her tails curled around it, allowing her to lower herself to the ground before sauntering over to the other two. "She's cute, what do you think we should do with her?" she whispered, her voice loud enough for Cyn to hear as she looked back at her.

"Wh-what..?" Cyn started in confusion as the three identical Ninetales whispered conspiratorially amongst themselves. She had seen Substitute enough to know it was limited to one copy; not to mention the physical toll it took on the Pokémon who used it just to summon a single clone. Her mind raced as she tried to think of other moves, all while the three Ninetales chattered back and forth, nuzzling up to each other or brushing each other's tails with their paws. "H-How..?"

"Oh, I agree. 'How' do they not know what to do with you? I guess I got the brains when we split up," another Eri's voice joined in from somewhere out of sight. Cyn didn't even look this time, her eyes remained locked onto the three as her tail lashed out behind her, feeling around for an ambush. The fourth copy of the NInetales stepped out of the bushes and joined the others, a smug smile plastered over her muzzle as she stared down her nose at the Liepard. "Let's find some way to stun her first, then we'll have all the time in the world to decide what to do with our damsel in distress."

"Oh yes, that sounds like a fantastic idea," The Eri on the far left agreed with an excited nod, only to wink playfully at the feline. "Pick a nice pose for when you're frozen in place, Cyn. Maybe that cute little play bow you were doing earlier? Rump up, tail in the air?"

"No, no, let's have her on her back with her paws on her chest," Another yipped, her tails swishing indignantly as the other three looked at her. "That'd be much cuter, and we could decorate her in berries before we eat her!"

"Well, before one of us eats her," Eri noted with a nod at each of her clones. "Remember girls, whoever's got the real belly gets to fill it with our heroine, the rest of us go back to not existing!"

"F-four of you..?" Cyn flinched, her eyes darting between the vixens as they yammered on. If she didn't act fast the whole Mystery Dungeon would be nothing but Eris! She swung her tail, unleashing the massive Shadow Ball held in her scythe. The Eris nodded in unison, each leaping in a different direction as the Shadow Ball exploded between them. The Ninetales scattered, running in opposite directions, each yipping and hollering to draw the Liepard's attention towards them.

Cyn swung her tail to ready another Shadow Ball, though she quickly became disoriented by the foxes running circles around her. She shot a few Shadow Balls out, but each passed effortlessly through whichever Ninetales she flung it at. At least she had confirmed they weren't Substitutes; Substitutes could be hit. These were illusions... 'Double Team,' Cyn thought as she lowered herself. 'So I only have to worry about one!'

But which one? The foxes were causing so much chaos it was hard to tell who was who anymore. One had stopped to shake its ass at Cyn, another kept running up and jumping over her before running in a circle to do it again. The third and fourth were still running, each seemingly searching for something. Suddenly she remembered what they had said; they were looking for a way to stun her, and one of the foxes was running right for a Stun Seed!

"No no no, fuck you fuck you fuck you!" Cyn shouted as she ran, her paws beating against the short grass of the clearing to reach the Stun Seed before Eri did. The two Eris she left in her wake gasped, their paws at their chest and one summoning some illusionary pearls to clutch as they let out exaggerated gasps of 'Such rude language!' and 'young Pokémon these days, no manners!'

Cyn swiped each of them with a single slash of her tail, their bodies shimmering as her scythe passed right through them both. 'Alright, one in two chance I'm going after the real her!' the Liepard thought, her eyes narrowing as she came within pouncing distance of the one about to pick up the Stun Seed. She kicked her legs off the ground, her forepaws outstretched as she let out a primal roar, barreling towards the Ninetales! 'You're mine now, lady!'

At the last moment Eri looked up at her and blew a raspberry, and the Liepard crashed through the illusion and faceplanted into the ground, her mouth filling with nothing but grass as a cloud of dirt kicked up around her. She sat up and spat it out, her head still ringing from hitting the ground. Her vision finally focused and immediately locked onto the Stun Seed. She stumbled to her feet and took a step forward to grab it. Even if she had gone after the wrong one, she'd at least have a powerful weapon to subdue the real Eri!

Glrrk! A sharp yank on the Liepard's tail pulled her back, almost taking her off her feet again. As she looked back over her shoulder she saw Eri, the real Eri, with her long tail disappearing into the fox's maw. The scythe had already been reduced to a bulge in her throat, and as the Liepard tried to summon a Shadow Ball the Ninetales bit down hard on it, causing the cat to yowl as she dug her claws into the ground. "H-hey! Quit eating my tail!"

"MmmGllrrRrrk~" Eri replied in the sassiest gulp Cyn had ever heard, swallowing up another foot of the Liepard's tail in the process. Cyn dug her claws into the ground to keep herself in place, shaking her rear desperately as she tried to pull herself free. The Ninetales responded with a long slurp, dragging the cat backwards and leaving long clawmarks in the ground as she slurped in the feline's slender tail and finally reached her rump.

"Ooh butt first, I'm so jealous. I'd love to get a taste~" One of the Double Team illusions drooled as she moved closer to inspect the sight. The others gathered around too, leaving Cyn ducking her head and blushing as she tried to concentrate on dragging herself forward towards the Stun Seed, and not the Ninetales' teeth digging into her voluptuous rear. One by one the illusions vanished until the two were alone again; captor and captive, predator and prey.

Eri smirked around the Liepard's rear, her jaws stretching wider to accommodate for it as she took another gulp. The cat blushed under the yellow fur of her cheeks at the subtle chewing, working her curves down one heart-spotted inch at a time. Her eyes returned to the seed, her claws raking up blades of grass as she pulled herself towards it. Shakily she reached one paw out ahead of her, stretching as far as she could towards the Stun Seed on the ground. The Ninetales let out another "MmmhhhUulp~" as she reached the widest part of the cats hips, things would be a lot easier now that she had passed the first hurdle~

"Y-you couldn't have at least tried eating me head first?" Cyn stammered back at her, holding back a purr as the Ninetales' soft tongue slurped over the yellow fur between her legs. Eri responded with a playful wink as she tilted her head back, slowly lifting the cat's hind paws off the ground. With a gulp she brought Cyn's legs into her jaws, bunching her hindpaws up under them so tightly the Liepard could barely twitch her toes. The Ninetales slurped over the sensitive pads, causing Cyn to squirm and quickly return her reaching paw back to the ground to hold herself in place. "D-dude, stop!" she mewled, shaking her rear in a vague attempt at getting the Ninetales off her. Her toes curled around to guard her pawpads as much as they could, but Eri quickly slipped past her defenses and slurped them to her heart's content, leaving the cat squirming against the ground.

Finally the tickling came to an end as Eri took another gulp, pinning Cyn's hindpaws against each other as they were reduced to a bulge in her neck, resting just above the gem on the collar of her cloak. The Ninetales murred in satisfaction as she finally reached the explorer's slender midsection, her forepaw rubbing over the bulge the Liepard made in her neck. Cyn could feel the tip of her tail starting to push into the fox's stomach, revealing just how hot it was.. And how comparatively cool and fresh the air was outside. The knowledge left her struggling harder, swinging her hips as best she could as she dragged herself forward one paw after the other. The seed was almost within reach, but letting go of the ground while the Ninetales was tilting her head back could mean losing. 'Winners never quit..!' Cyn reminded herself of her team's motto as she clawed up some more of the grass on her way to her prize.

"Mmmhh, Bronze Rank~" Eri drooled, her voice muffled by the Liepard's middle as her tongue slathered over her yellow underbelly. Cyn tucked her legs together and gritted her teeth, this was no time to get ticklish. The Ninetales continued her assault, slurping over the shiny Pokémon's fur as another gulp brought her closer to the spiky tufts of fluff on Cyn's chest. Her hind paws were finally slipping into her stomach, leaving it spilling out under her cloak and bobbing gently with each kick Cyn made as she tried to get her footing. "Such a tasty little team leader~"

"Nngh, enjoy it while it lasts, Eri," Cyn hissed through gritted teeth. She could finally tap the edge of the Stun Seed with the tip of her claw, another inch and it'd be within her grasp. She started rehearsing the move in her head; grab it, twist, smash it into the Ninetales' stupid pretty face. Once she was stunned she'd be able to pull herself out of her throat with no problem, then maybe she'd have a snack for all the trouble the fox had caused her. She'd have to act fast though, Eri's jaws were already closing in on her chest, her fangs biting into it playfully as she let out a delighted moan of pleasure. "C-come on, I don't taste that good," Cyn blushed, her ears tucking to ignore the hungry sounds coming from the Ninetales... and the ever-nearing rumbles of her belly.

"Mmmh~ MmMmMmmm~" the Ninetales disagreed, stopping to suckle on Cyn's chest as her throat tightened to hold the cat in place, caught between the fresh air of the outside world and the hot, humid interior of her predator. Her tongue slurped over her expertly as though she were committing her flavour to memory. Occasionally it would rise above the curve of her chest and slurp over her neck, leaving long trails of drool and slobber wherever it went. As her throat relaxed again Cyn knew it was now or never; taking the chance while she still had it, the Liepard lifted one paw off the ground and thrust it towards the seed.

"Mmhh-gkk!" Eri gagged, forcing the Liepard forward further than she had planned to go. Her paw came down on the seed at full force with a crunch!, releasing the stored energy inside it over the Liepard as the shell broke in two. Cyn tried to yell, but her mouth was stuck shut, her whole face frozen in her shocked expression... and soon the rest of her body followed suit. The cat let out a muffled 'Mrrewff!' through her gritted teeth as she struggled against the Stun effect, but it was no use, she couldn't get herself to move an inch!

..But Eri could. The Ninetales chuckled under her breath as she took another gulp, swallowing the whimpering paralysed cat's shoulders with very little effort. Now that Cyn wasn't wiggling around she was sinking much faster, it wasn't long until her vision was framed by the Ninetales' pearly white teeth, her tongue curling up to run along each side of her face before cupping her chin. Eri's throat tightened again, holding the LIepard in place as she started to walk forward, her head turning and bringing the cat's vision with it, forcing her to look wherever she did.

Finally she found what she was looking for, an Escape Orb lying among the grass, sparkling and ready to use. The Ninetales leaned down close to it, allowing the cat to stare at her own reflection; a blushing, shocked face caught in the jaws of a hungry predator. Her outstretched paw twitched gently, her digits spreading as she tried to lay a single claw on the Escape Orb. Eri swallowed just before she could, dragging the cat's head into her neck and all the way down her throat in a few gulps, each muffling the long defeated 'Mrrrewwwl~!' Cyn let out as she descended until finally it was silenced all together by a low 'Grrrbbbllee~' from her stomach.

"Aaaahhh~" Eri breathed out a sigh of relief as her throat cleared, getting one last taste of the delicious dark-chocolate flavoured cat on her breath. She smiled and spread out her paws ahead of her, her front lowering and her rear raised to the Mystery Dungeon as her expanding belly lifted up her cloak, filling out with the last of her would-be capturer. "Mmh, such a sweet meal. I know I could have just had you at the Den, but it's so much more fun when you fight back a little."

The Ninetales began to shake her hips, her tails swinging high over her as the cat started to twitch her way out of paralysis. "To think I've got Cynda Storge; Clearspring's leader and prey extraordinaire all curled up in my gut. The other Dungeon bosses are going to be so jealous~" The vixen chuckled as she continued to sway her hips, her gut swinging underneath her to jostle the cat left and right. "Though I heard you were good at belly escapes. I suppose not so much when you get hit with a Stun Seed, but that'll wear off before you know it~"

"W-wait, you know who I am? If you knew about The Den, why not just eat me there you psycho?!" Cyn snapped at her, launching a powerful kick to the stomach wall with her hind leg. The Ninetales' belly bounced out to the left, only to immediately slosh back to its previous position and bounce the Liepard back against the other wall. Eri let out a chuckle of amusement as she lowered her haunches, putting her full weight on her bloated belly and squishing the cat between the soft stomach walls above and beneath her. "H-hey..! Mmmph!"

"Like I said, it's a lot more fun to lure you out here with a fake bounty. Who wants to eat a willing snack when I could have a feisty adventurer kitty?" Eri murred as she ran her forepaws over her gut, kneading the soft pudgy fat beneath her fur like dough as Cyn struggled to against the tight walls around her. "Besides, now that I've got you where I want you I can start with phase 2 of my ingenious scheme~ I understand the Hero of Clearspring is on your team, isn't he?"

"Sp-Spice?" Cyn stammered, only to get another faceful of slimy stomach walls smearing across her, leaving fluids dripping off her whiskers. "What're you planning on doing with him?"

"Oh, I'm a big fan, I've always wanted to try hypnotising him myself, you know, seeing what kind of mischief I could get him into," Eri chuckled to herself as she bounced on her belly gently, listening to the 'grrrnnns' and 'blorps~' it made each time she put her full weight on it. "I'll probably get him to eat a few Pokémon, really fatten up that pretty boy form of his. And then, who knows, maybe I'll let him have you for dessert. Wouldn't that be embarrassing, being eaten by your own teammate?"

"Th-there's no way he's going to fall for such an obvious trap," Cyn stammered back. "Not even Spice is that stupid!"

"Th-there's no way he'll stay away knowing his darling Cynnie's in danger~" Eri mocked the Liepard's stammer, only to chuckle as the cat started to fight with full force again. "Mmm, you're so fun to tease. I can tell we're going to get along swimmingly while you're my prisoner~" she murred as she pressed both her forepaws again the front of her gut, causing it to sink down as her belly spread out behind her hind legs in turn.

"Gimme a break," Cyn groaned into her paws. As if being eaten wasn't bad enough, now she'd have to be rescued by Spice of all Pokémon. "Well, whatever. You win, okay? You ate me and I'm sure Spice will be along as soon as he gets the memo that I'm trapped in here. Now are you going to digest me or not? It's hot as balls in here!" she cringed as the stomach let out another ominous rumble in her ears, "I don't know what you're planning doing to keep me in the dungeon until Spice comes to rescue me, but it doesn't sound like you're going to be able to hold me in your stomach until then."

"We've still got plenty of time, and I think I'm going to hold onto you for a while longer. We've only just started to get to know each other after all," Eri replied, a toothy grin crossing her muzzle as she rubbed the bulge of the Liepard's head back down into the indistinct mass of her doughy belly. "You'll be safe in there until your valiant hero arrives. Which reminds me, we'd better start writing the Rescue mission! You've got Wonder Mail in your bag, don't you?"

"Y-yeah, but I uh... need my badge in order to send it," Cyn replied, her ears perking as the opportunity presented itself. If she could just get her badge she could warp to freedom. Granted, appearing in her Rescue Team's base covered in Ninetales slobber and stomach fluids would be humiliating, but anything would be better than being stuck as the fox's belly prisoner until her team arrived.

"Nice try, kitty. If you needed a badge to send it, how would all your non-Rescue team clients send theirs? Surely they'd just do the smart thing and teleport themselves out right away." Eri smiled, locating the bulge of the Liepard's rear with her tail before giving it a hard swat, leaving her stomach jiggling and bouncing from the impact. She dragged herself over to the explorer's bag and reached around in it briefly, gulping down any Oran Berries she found during her search to give the cat something to fix her battle wounds. Finally she found the stationary she was looking for; a letter with a large red seal and a pencil for writing. 'Seal to Send' the top read, followed by what looked like an application form. "Oh, I was expecting blank paper. I don't really have to fill out all these details, do I?"

"Do you want Spice to come or not?" Cyn grunted, shoving her full body weight against the left side of the stomach. Eri stumbled from the blow, her gut launching her left before she shoved it back under her with her tails and laid across it again, using the front of it to hold the paper while she wrote. "Are you seriously going to keep me in here the whole time? It could take days for them to respond!"

"Now, now, don't sell yourself short, Cynda. You're a very important part of your team and town, neither could function without you~" Eri reassured her with a condescending pat of her gut before she began to fill out the Wonder Mail. "Client: Cyn, Subject: ..." the Ninetales nibbled on the butt of the pencil, " 'Meee-ow! Help! I've got my butt stuck in a Ninetales mouth and I can't get out!' "

"C-come on dude, Knock it off!" Cyn shouted, her hind paws rapidly kicking at the stomach walls and leaving it letting out a series of 'Grrrns! and 'Brrns!' at each strike from her lithe paws. "I don't sound like that!"

"Location, uhh..." The Ninetales looked down at her gut and gave it an inquisitive prod of her paw before continuing to write. "Eri's Tummy, BF 1." Eri smiled as she wiggled her hips, "Though you might be on Eri's Butt by the time they arrive, which do you think we should put?"

"That's for the Mystery Dungeon, you-" The Liepard blushed profusely at the teasing. The Ninetales chuckled, writing down the real name and floor without telling the cat. "Grrh! J-just swallow it and let me write it!"

"No, no, I think I've got it now," Eri shook her head, only to let out a gassy belch as all the Liepard's struggles finally amounted to something. "Uurrraahhhp!" She belched again, bringing out a few flecks of the Liepard's ruby red fur and splattering the Wonder Mail with drool. It had smudged some of the letters, but it would add some legitimacy to the rescue request. With a lick of her lips the Ninetales scribbled in 'pretty kitty' for the reward, and finally scrawled a comment in the description. "Please send my Knight in Shining Armour to save me, the cutest Hero you've got. Your Devoured Damsel in Distress, Cynda 'Cynnie' Storge~" She smiled as she folded the Wonder Mail shut. "Dictated, not read."

"Oh Arceus, Fatal me." Cyn groaned into her paws, picturing the reactions of her team when they read it. No doubt Malus would tease her about it for weeks when she got back, and she doubted Spice would be much better. Her brother Typh might even get in on the action, she hadn't let him call her 'Cynnie' since she was a Purrloin! The Liepard rolled against the walls indignantly, blushing through her fur. "Just get it over with and digest me, I've got a Reviver Seed anyway."

"Mmmh, no digestion for you, Cyn. It wouldn't be much of a rescue mission if there was nothing left to rescue before they got here, would it?" Eri smiled as she sealed the letter tightly and gave the wax seal a teasing smooch as the paper flashed and disappeared in a colourful beam of light. Soon it would reach the Guild headquarters and be distributed to every Rescue Team within reach of the dungeon, no doubt coming to The Winners first given that it was from their team leader. Sighing with satisfaction she got back to her paws and wandered out of the clearing, her belly swinging back and forth under her like a hammock and rocking the cat inside from side to side with each step she took. "Now, let's find somewhere nice and cosy to wait for your dashing Knightales, my juicy Princess~"

"There's no way you're going to be able to hold the digestion off until they arrive anyway," The Liepard pointed out with a pouty mumble, leaving Eri straining her ears to hear what the cat was saying beyond all the groans and gurgles of the stomach rubbing around her. "Typh and I are experts, and even we can only hold off digestion for a little while. The moment you fall asleep, I'm going to be digested, Reviver-Seeded and free." Cyn reminded her, "And I am TOTALLY going to come back here and kick your fluffy tails for wasting my time today!"

"Oh Cynda, is getting eaten by a pretty woman really a waste of your time~?" The Ninetales teased her. The cat's flustered silence was the only answer she needed. "Though you do raise a good point about the digestion; far be it from me to stay up night and day until your team arrives. I'd be completely manic! ...more so!" Eri let out a faux gasp of horror as she rested one paw against the jewel on her cloak, "Plus I'll need to get eight hours of sleep if I'm going to be hypnotising the Hero of Clearspring, after all~"

"Exactly," Cyn agreed with a wiggle. "S-so either digest me or spit me out and-"

"Well, fortunately I've already got a solution for that," Eri spoke over her as she finally reached the end of the path she had been following. She looked over the treasure trove of items at the end; bags and badges she had pilfered from adventurers over her time in the Mystery Dungeon. She'd have added Cyn's to the hoard, but she wanted to leave some bread crumbs for the cat's team to follow in order to find her. After digging through a few she found what she had been looking for; a large elasticated pink sash.

The Ninetales slipped it on under her cloak, wrapping the cloth carefully around her belly. Each loop she made brought her gut in a little more, reducing the Liepard's wiggling room and leaving the walls pressing against her growing more snug. "Wh-what? Wait! H-hey!" Cyn's protests grew more and more muffled, her forepaws pinned to her chest and her hind legs curled up against her front. Finally Eri tied off the cloth and gave it one last tug, pinning the Liepard firmly in place between all the soft, slick walls around her. "What the hell? Why'd it get so tight in here?"

"That'll be my Tight Belt, Cyn. Courtesy of one of your local teams." Eri replied with a shake of her hips. "It's used by Rescue Teams to stave off hunger by preventing their bellies from emptying... though in my case, I'm just using it to keep my belly from emptying in general." The Ninetales smiled as her forepaw trailed over her tightly compacted gut, barely peeking out from under her "Which means I don't have to worry about my digestion slipping and giving you a chance to get away. Besides, I want to keep a trim figure for when I meet Spice~"

"Mmphh! Mrrewpph!" Cyn shouted what Eri could only assume were flustered obscenities. The Ninetales gave her gut one last shake before sitting down to sort through the items in the gathered bags, picking out her arsenal for tomorrow. If Cyn had been anything to go by, her battle with the second in command of The Winners would be a memorable battle indeed.

She started mapping out her strategy for facing the hero: He'd enter and give his heroic speech, she'd feint left and avoid his hypnosis with an Insomniascope, maybe hit him in the butt with a Blast Seed or make him trip onto a Gust Trap to send that handsome booty of his into the air. She'd toy with him for a while and look like she had the upper paw, but then 'oh no!' She'd make a mistake that would leave her hitting her belly so hard against the ground she'd cough the Liepard up like a big red hairball. 'Oh Spice, my hero~' Cyn would purr, batting her big green eyes at the handsome todd as he wrapped his tails lovingly around her. 'I knew you wouldn't let me be Ninetales buttfat~'

Of course it was going to take some work to make the Liepard say all that, but Eri had already snuck in a few little flashes of hypnosis during the battle. Dark-types were notoriously hard to hypnotise, but breaking their resistance was like picking a lock, and Cyn would be a particularly satisfying lock to pick during their time together, however long or short it would be. She could feel her walls squeezing against the cat, slowly turning her mind against her as they rubbed their fluids into her fur. As she leaned down to rest her head against her belly she could already hear Cyn purring, though the moment she sensed Eri was listening she took a gulp to force herself to stop. Eri smiled as she went back to her work; she wouldn't be so inhibited in the morning~

She just hoped Spice would like the reward for a mission well done, even if the Liepard was going to be covered in Ninetales slobber by the time she let her back out. That would be the perfect time to hypnotise him; right when he thought he had won and rescued the pretty little cat, Eri would fill his mind with thoughts of eating her. Out of the frying pan and into the Fire-type~ and once she was done rubbing the handsome Ninetales' full belly she could send him on his way back to The Winners with his gut full of their leader, and no sign of the one who had captured her in the first place.

'Oh yes,' Eri smiled to herself as she slipped a Totter Orb into her bag. This would be a very memorable battle.

The End.
