#1 of Original Stories
Based on the hit anime Pokemon.
Team Rocket, tired of failed schemes, decides to try out a new approach in capturing Pokemon. They wind up with our heroes companion, Pikachu.
How will he fair without Ash to save him?
One last light turns off in a house, this house in particular belongs to a mother and her son, her son was a Pokemon Trainer. He was no ordinary trainer, for this trainers name was Ash Ketchum. What was he doing here, you might ask. It was a tradition of his to come back home and spend some time with his mother after a long journey. Ash usually took the time to relax after such long times, his friend and Pokemon, Pikachu was their with him; relaxing and usually both partaking in the comfort of home and the cooking his mother did for the both of them. After another day had passed, the people and Pokemon in the house decided to call it a day, turning off the last light before the house fell into a moonlit night.
Outside, a faint rustling sound could be heard. A pair of ears poked out from inside the tall grass. More rustling could be heard before the two creatures popped out, revealing themselves as a pair of Pichu's. One Pichu was surveying the area while the other waited patiently, who was carrying a small bag on him. Once the coast was clear, they proceeded to dash over to the house that they had been watching. Climbing onto a windowsill, they were both working as a pair; one watching to make sure no people or Pokemon were around while the other checked the window. <Click!> The window slid up, giving the two Pichus the entrance they needed. The two went their own ways as they checked out the house, they knew he was here, it was a matter of finding him. One found the stairs and promptly motioned for the other to come, the duo headed up the stairs and began looking in the rooms, again motioning before they both entered the room; they found him.
The Pichu's stood in the quiet room, staring at two beings that were sleeping; Ash and Pikachu. Jumping gently onto the bed, they began to tickle the small electric rodent; stirring him out of his slumber. Pikachu opened his eyes and saw the two, the rodent gave a stretch before standing on all fours and looked at them rather curiously, wondering what was going on. "Come quickly, there's something going on outside" One said as they motioned, "It's something big" the other added; both of which were quietly squeaking to the older, higher evolution. The rodent didn't know what was going on, but he couldn't resist a plea for help, especially if it could harm his trainer. The three quietly and quickly made their way out of the house, the two Pichus had a hard time containing their excitement, never imagining this would be working so well, but they weren't quite their. Once they were out and in the open, "Alright, so where is it?" Pikachu asked as he looked around at his surroundings, scanning for trouble; he didn't respond. He stared at the one in front, he could've sworn that their was two of them, being oblivious to what was about to happen. One quietly snuck up on him while the other turned around and faced him, looking innocently as the Pikachu stared at him, waiting for some kind of response. The Pichu shot him some kind of bizzare look at him, staring for a minute before something washed over him.
The electric rodent didn't know what this feeling was or where it came from, but as he tried to resist, his mind was clouded and his senses dulled; he had fallen under their control. The two Pichu's let out small, evil squeaks of laughter as it was all too easy for them. Coming over to one another, they gave each other a high-five on a job well done.
Team Rocket had been in the Kanto region for a rather long time now, with their boss, Giovanni, going into hiding for reasons he didn't disclose to the higher ups, thus another head was put in charge of continuing the organization. At first it was smooth sailing, but as time went on, the new leader began to grow tired of the usual methods on obtaining Pokemon that could only promise a handful; he needed another method, surely there had to be another one. On one fateful afternoon, one Rocket Member approached him with a pair of Pichu's, this member kept going on and on about how these two had something special that no other Pokemon had; an unknown move he said. Deciding to put them to the test, they brought in a couple of Pokemon, of the few being different species and genders. The boss looked a bit disappointed that it wasn't an ultimate move or something destructive like that, but his attitude quickly changed as he smiled ear to ear, in that the move caused an effect like Attraction or Confusion. What was more revealing about it, is while a Pokemon was under the effect of it, they became hungry and if properly fed, could be kept in the state indefinitely. The major downside that they saw right off the bat was the affected Pokemon would hastily eat the food, more than they could normally. This also came with the double affect of making them fat. The team of scientists had to mull over this fact as carrying large amounts of food would be impractical and costly, going over many ways in order to find a cheap balance. They went with the concept of a Pokeblock, but of a different make and model, this type would be special.
It would look and smell like a regular Pokeblock, but that's where the similarities end and the differences began, it would be as if two or three meals were condensed into the size of one. Initial field tests proved successful as Pokemon under this new effect happily ate the blocks and within the span of five or so minutes, could be seen putting on a small amount of weight depending on the amount given, and would also boost the duration of the effect. Since this plan needed two components, of the two one of which was out of the way, the remaining one was focusing on the move itself, which were only known by the Pichu's, who had been revealed as brothers.
It was trial and error, as since they couldn't condense this move into a Technical Machine [TM], and couldn't begin to go about other ways of obtaining it. They decided on having the brothers teach it to other Pokemon, since this plan all of the higher-ranked field members were ordered to have one Pokemon that knew this move as they would have the experience needed to carry out this unusual type of order; was the best course of action. Since the brothers were so complacent and accommodated accordingly, having others learn it after awhile proved to be not as bad as they feared. With these two tasks complete, they finally enacted their newest plan: FATblock.
During all of this, naturally, two very familiar operatives kept sending updates and info about one particular Pokemon they've been trying to capture. Their reports kept saying about how powerful he is and how he would make a worthy addition and so on and so forth. In order to test just how a plan like this would work (and to shut them up too), they sent the Pichu brothers to test this supposed strong Pokemon.
After the two brothers gave each other a high five, and congratulated each other on their small success. Making sure that the effects last, one sat him down while the other dug around in his small satchel before pulling out a single Block.
"Open wide", one of the Pichu's instructed, which Pikachu was happy to do, simply opening and waiting for the next instruction. The Block went into his mouth before closing and swallowing, down into his stomach it went.
Pikachu's ear's perked up when he tasted it, showing that he liked what he had eaten. The brother's waited for a moment or two before an audiable gurgle could be heard, as the two sat the electric rodent down to better see the results; it happening in the midst right before their eyes. The slim figure that was granted with trained gave way to a small belly; like it returned to a more natural state. Now having been granted with plenty of time, they guided him to a site outside of Pallet Town in order to enact the next part of their plan. Moving some bushes aside to make room for the trio, it was a small clearing that was certainly big enough for the three of him. Or it would've been, had their not been a pile of food that the two had gathered for their next purpose. Pikachu was guided to the pile and was promptly seated, and instructed specifically to eat the entire pile; absentmindedly digging in with little thought. Greedily grabbing one food item eating it partway before his other paw grabbed onto another, shoveling food into his maw while the two watched. It didn't take long before he let out a burp and patted his swollen stomach, the duo laughed as the Pikachu looked rather silly in this manner. They decided to have some fun before they captured him and brought him back, by the time they get there, the meal that would've fed at least 5 humans had been digested and was clear, as they approached and jumped into the windowsill like they did before but with Pikachu, every motion he did made his portly body jiggle about. One entered after another, with the last being the plump rodent, who landed on the kitchen floor with a small thud.
The pudgy rodents stomach gave a small rumble, and acting as best they could, guided him to an open spot and looked around. Giving a quick look over, they went their own ways to grab food for their flabby evolution, with one climbing up atop of the counters and into the cupboard while the other opened the fridge door and grabbed some still warm leftovers; a pasta of sorts. Simply going back and forth to make another pile of food, in the case of the food from the fridge, various containers. Pikachu smelled the food and began to dig into the food as it was being brought to him, his hunger taking over, and shoving food into his maw. With each item being brought, it would immediately find it's place within his maw and down into his stomach. The effects were almost immediate once again, each swallow slowly expanded his frame, making him swell and jiggle.
Pikachu had gone from a petite and fit Pokemon, to a large and fat rat who only wanted to eat to satiate his hunger with delicious food; all under the control of the two pre-evolutions. Boxes of food, empty containers, and food littered the floor around the blobby Pikachu, who was holding a large slice of pizza in between his two flabby paws.
The morning rays started to shine into the Ketchum household, the three Pokemon had fell asleep as the night dragged on for what had seemed like forever. The faintly bright light hit the two Pichu's first, causing them to stir. One sat up and stretched while the other got to his feet, who knew watching a Pokemon stuff himself into a stupor could be so exhausting. Pikachu had remained in his same position since they got there, being wedged in place by his bulk.
"My back aches, talk about rough sleep", one said with a frown on his face, having slept on the hard floor.
"Look who's talking, I had a nice comfortable bed to sleep on" he giggled much to the annoyance of his brother, who had patted the Pikachu's large stomach to prove his point.
Their small bickering was soon interrupted as the large Pokemon beside them stirred awake from his slumber. When his eyes finally opened too, he let out a long yawn before hazily looking around.
"Wha- What happened?", Pikachu said as he looked around at the mess, which had looked like some sort of Pokemon stampede had gone through the kitchen. When he attempted to move he found that he couldn't do so, and quickly figured out why; he was huge!
"Did...Did I do this?", he said quietly to himself as he grabbed his sizable stomach and give it a few jiggles.
"You sure did fatso", one of the Pichu brothers bluntly said to break the silence, in which Pikachu jumped from the sudden appearance.
Pikachu looked at the two momentarily at in surprise, before frowning, "Who are you, why are you in here?" he questioned.
"Isn't it obvious?" one retorted, "We're after you" the other finished.
"Wh-Why are you after me?" he asked once again.
"Team Rocket, that's why" they both said, in which the older evolution huffed.
"Again? It's not like you guys are very competent" he scoffed and insulted, having dealt with the company numerous times before.
"We heard, and we won" they stated, giving the blobby Pikachu a couple of pokes for good measure.
"Won...? You mean...", the electric rodent said as he trailed off, putting the pieces together before a light bulb went off in his head; but before he could speak, they cut him off.
"That's right, this...", the duo said together in unison as they rubbed the older evolutions large gut. The sudden clarity of the situation was clear on his face.
Pikachu attempted to sit up or even get on all fours, but to no avail, his flab only getting in the way and making his efforts look more like just moving around; he was trapped. "Yo-You won't get away with this!" he declared, small sparks of electricity dancing off his red cheeks in anger.
The two Pichu's grinned ear to ear, and laughed. "Oh, but I believe we have, we got you right where we-" they stopped as some noise could be heard coming from upstairs. When the two looked outside to see that it was already morning, they had taken too long and had to leave...for now.
"Shoot, we were so close too..." one said with a huff, the other racing for the window, "C'mon brother, hurry" the other Pichu said. He dashed off and met his brother on the windowsill, "Don't think we forgot about you" The Pichu on the right said, "We'll be back" the Pichu on the left finished. Both hopped out the window and left the Pikachu.
Upstairs Ash awoke from his sleep, normally he would greet his friend as they both woke up around the same time, but when he looked, his friend wasn't their. "Pikachu?" he quietly called out, but no one answered back. The young boy hopped out of bed and quietly raced downstairs, where he was met with an open window. Normally he would've went back upstairs to get dressed, but squeaks let out made him turn his attention in that direction. When he did, Ash's jaw dropped as he stared in disbelief. His buddy was small when they went to bed, so how could he...blow up this much since then. Pikachu tried to move as best as he could, he had to tell him that Team Rocket was going to comeback for him, with a frown and many squeaks coming out. Ash simply went over to him, squatted down and placed his hand on the tiny mouse's stomach.
"No more late night snacks for you...guess we'll have to train harder" he simply stated to his beloved friend, who frowned even more, it was as if he didn't fully understand the situation. As if on cue, Pikachu's stomach gave an audible gurgle, which made the rotund rat blush.
