#6 of Story Commissions

A short story commission done for Buff Zard @ FA. Involves a charizard longing to be big. And boy does he get that. :3


He knew better than to believe those silly status bulking commercials. Double your size in just a few weeks, gain muscle mass like nothing! He'd heard them all and the reminder that he fell for them only infuriated him further. The charizard slumped back onto his computer seat as he idly clicked through several muscle orientated web sites. The black scaled lizard stared back at himself and then the disc on his desktop table.

He'd been told that a few Technical Machines had been edited and modified for permanent effects, but his dream seemed more and more like a dream as he stared at the muscle-bound beasts on his computer screen, then his lanky form. Charizard were bound to be bulky and big by genetics, but it seemed he'd gotten the short end of the stick. His beanstalk build only amplified by his seven foot height, he felt like the universe's cruel joke. He scrolled through the current blog, picture after picture of various men wearing barely any clothing at all, packed to the brim with bulk and thick, straining muscle upon obscene muscle.

"Lucky bastards..." he muttered as a free hand made way toward his pants.

Before he could start, something seemed to catch the fire type's attention. While he'd been browsing the forums, his inbox was indicating he had a message. Several things were odd about this, as the charizard never told anyone about his incredibly avid interests in muscular men in his public or private life. Maybe it was just spam? Half tempted to delete it without a word, he opened up the message anyways. He could use a silly message to brighten up his night.

To: BuffZardFrom: NidoBulk

Huh, you didn't close the message. Or maybe you are and just decided to give this a read. This may look like a spam message, but hear me out on this. What if I said that there actually was a way to as big as your imagination would let you?

He stared at the message for a few moments before shaking his head and chuckling. if this was some sort of joke, someone was clearly putting in some effort. Cracking his knuckles, he quickly typed up a response. "Alright, I'll humor you. I've tried mostly everything out there and nothing worked."

Within a few minutes, the lizard's inbox pinged again with another message.

That's cause this one hasn't exactly been approved. Want proof?

He raised a brow. Well, this was interesting. He was fully expecting this to be an elaborate prank what with lie built upon lie. He didn't have any reason to believe him, nor any reason not to as well. "Okay, sure."

He quickly got a response telling him to swap skype names. His fingers rapped on the table for a few minutes, a scowl making its way on his face. While his account certainly wasn't private, the sudden request to add another that fast just made him all the more uneasy. It also made him all the more curious. What if this was truly legit? What if he could make his dream come true?

With a sigh, he traded names. He couldn't let this chance pass him by just because he wanted to be overly skeptical. The minutes ticked by as he awaited a confirmation of the friend request. His heart seemed to jump once everything was through and the anonymous 'friend' was online. As he waited, a screen came up asking for a camera call with "ready?" in the message box.

The charizard lacked a camera since he didn't have any reason to buy one, but still assumed it was possible for a one way call. He accepted the request and gasped at what he was shown. The face of a gruff looking purple creature stared right back at him, veins idly pumping and dancing across the expanse of his neck. It was all the charizard could see of the presumed male since purple rabbits could only mean someone of the nidoran family. The male moved back, putting more of himself on display and consequently making the charizard's jaw drop.

He knew nidoking as a species were bulky and big, but most of it was apparently fat. This one had absolutely no fat on him as every crevice and spot of his upper torso was packed with bulging muscle. Massive white shelves that he could only guess were his pecs pushing against his chin occasionally as he shifted about in his seat followed by a brick road of bulging bumps leading to his hidden lower torso. The lizard's eyes gazed back up to the nidoking's arms, biceps literally soaring past the male's head along with mountainous purple traps overhead. He put his arms behind his head, every part of him positively surging with power, his pectorals obscuring most of the male's head along with those thick traps pushing his chin down into the slabs of muscle.

The charizard squirmed in his seat, a tightness forming at his crotch. Oh how was so tempted...Before he could even contemplate the choice in full, the call was cut, a message waiting for him in the chat.

You like?

The fire type could do nothing but nod dumbly as he typed in a hurry. "Y-yes! You're a monster..! How?"

Remember that thing I mentioned before? Took nothing short of a few days.

Days! The lizard was squirming around in his seat as he continued conversing with the beast behind the screen, the image burned into his mind.

I've seen what you look like (should probably change to a dummy email address, bit too easy), and figured you could use a hand. I can send the thing to your place in a few days since I have a copy. You in?

He didn't even need to think twice. Quickly typing in his address, he went to bed with a smile on his face. The days seemed to pass by wind in the air before the charizard came home from an unsuccessful day at the gym with a package staring at him in front of his doorway. His scowl from the day's events turned into an elated smile as he ran into his apartment, ripping the box open in a frenzy. Finally, he wouldn't be a shrimp!

His happiness seemed to sink as the contents of the box were revealed. A silver disc with the words "TM 22B: Absorb" stamped on it. His teeth seemed to grit as his heart sunk.

"Damnit...knew it was too good to be true."

His crestfallen eyes soon found their attention towards a letter at the bottom of the box. He unfolded it, reading the contents to himself.

"Hey, don't give in just yet. That's a special TM you have in your hands. Just apply it and use it like any other move. Just don't go too crazy with it. Unless you want to, that is. Can't wait to see the results and hope ya live up to your name sake, BuffZard."

If this was a joke, that beastly nidoking was a very dedicated prankster. Regardless, he decided to give it a shot. The image of the massive male flexing reappeared in his mind as he looked back at the disc. Gulping, the charizard applied the disc on top of his head and took a deep breath. The disc began humming and glowing, information flooding into his mind from the depths of the Technical Machine. The fact that it was labeled as a grass type move nagged into his mind, but the fact that it was working proved him wrong. A few minutes later and a ding echoed through his mind, signifying he'd gotten everything from the contents of the disc.

the black scaled charizard took a look at himself, setting the disc down. As he did, the supposed stamp over the disc seemed to unpeel and unravel, revealing the full name of the move.

"Mass Absorption?

He hadn't heard of any move like that before. Shrugging his shoulders, the charizard put the disc away. Before giving this a try, he had to go shower. Peeling off his workout clothes and keeping his lit tail outside of the shower, he cleaned and scrubbed himself. He closed his eyes as the lukewarm water splashed down at him from the shower head. He imagined himself patting and scrubbing down thick, bulging biceps, massive pectorals that he could barely grip with his hands and a row of brick like abdominals and much more of a masculine body for himself to explore. Unknown to him, the water splashing on his body seemed to be disappearing, his tail fire glowing brighter. The water seemed not be evaporating in the fire type's presence, but rather being absorbed! As he showered, his body continued to soak up the water at a slow rate, his body slowly starting to flex of its own will and thicken all over. Lanky arms and legs began to show definition, muscles pulsing and pushing against his scales, quads slowly bulging out in size and beginning to rub against another while his chest began producing two white scaled slabs of pectoral muscle. His trance was soon broken due to the newfound feeling, the fire type letting out a surprised gasp!

He quickly dived out of his shower, the lizard staring at himself in the mirror.

"What the..."

For the second time this week, his jaw was left slack as he took in his new body. While it wasn't much in the way of what he desired, this was still better than nothing. He flexed his newly developed muscles, shifting into random poses as he felt himself up with an avid grin. This stuff actually worked! He didn't consider water to have much mass, but it seemed to do the trick. The next idea hit him instantly. He grinned, quickly going back into the shower and turning the head on full blast. He had a very mass filled night ahead of him.

The next day soon arrived and the members of the charizard's gym would find themselves staring at a shadow of the fire type's former self. Close to ten feet tall and sporting a build akin to a professional bodybuilder, the fire type sauntered in with the same devilish grin on his face as last night. He hadn't left his shower except for a few occasions of dehydration, and even then, it felt too good to leave to begin with. The bulky fire type wore nothing but a white tank top draped over his bulging figure along with a pair of workout shorts with the makings of a master ball over the crotch. He'd bought these as a congratulations to himself close to two feet of height ago. They fit rather snug, but seemed to keep his modest, for now at least.

A few ideas came to him during the night, and if he could absorb the mass of objects such as water or any house hold products, what was stopping him from taking the mass of other living beings? This gym was home to two sections; those of an average height, and those above average that exceeded well beyond ten feet with much heavier and muscular people. Casually making his way toward the area, the charizard was greeted to the smell of sweat and the many bustling figures of the gym as they lifted, ran and stretched along their workout regimen.

He decided to test the weights himself, going through a simple warm up before going to the guy's bathroom. As luck would have it, there were three males conversing as they changed clothes from their lockers.

"So, did you happen to hear about that guy on the other side of the gym?" One of them mentioned, a machoke adjusting his belt and attempting to put on a button up shirt.

"Hmm?" The second, a zangoose trying to fit into a pair of long pants as he shimmied them up his thighs.

"Yeah, bit of a shrimp. Kept coming and working out to his fullest with little results. Here I thought Charizards were supposed to be big already. Guy looked like he hadn't eaten in ages." the last, an ursaring bellowed as he was putting on deodorant.

The three continued talking as the lizard glanced at them, pretending to stuff a few things into a random locker. His hands tensed into fists, biceps tensed as he was tempted to sock one of them right then and there. Instead, the manifestation of his anger came in another form. His newly acquired Mass Absorption came from physical contact, but it seemed the actual move had mutated into something else as a result of his anger. Three large tendrils made of pure energy appeared from his back, catching the three hulking males off guard as it wrapped around their forms and pulsed brightly.

The trio cried out for help, but the tendrils quickly covered their mouths, the charizard looking at them with a grin.

"Talk about me behind my back, won't you? Let's see how you like being a shrimp."

Their bodies tensed as the tendrils of energy latched on harder, tightening as it began to siphon every bit of mass they acquired through the years, stacking on to the charizard's body en masse. His body visibly surged and pulsed larger, his height barely changing as pound after pound of muscle was applied. His quads grew thicker and thicker while they grew skinnier and shorter, his shorts slowly riding up to the point it became something like a speedo with the master ball the only thing keeping the massive black charizard decent. He raised his arms into a proud flex, the enormous biceps bulging larger and larger before their eyes along with the rest of them. Continuing to sap them dry, the charizard let out an unplanned roar which was close to shaking the ground. The tendrils dispersed, leaving the three former muscular men nothing more than tiny and lithe in the fact of the fire type that loomed before them.

They could barely see over the massive pectorals he sported, the swell of his traps concealing his head even more as they noticed a thick, tree trunk like tail swishing around slowly. The three males scrunched together before the charizard smirked underneath the muscle he sported and simply walked off. Too thick and wide for even the adjusted doors, the charizard decided to simply tear through it all, causing everyone to look at him in surprise. Some stared at him silently, others yelled at him for ruining gym property, but it mattered not. They were just more for him to feed on.

Acting on his altered state of mind, the tendrils soon sparked and came to life once more, but in many more numbers. Screams were heard as they lashed about, anything they touched or latched on, be it equipment or an actual person shrinking and losing size overall and feeding their owner. Anyone within a few feet found themselves being dragged back to the source, their bodies becoming lithe and small while the charizard's muscles grew in heavy increments. Surprisingly enough, his workout shorts turned speedo had maintained form despite the bulk he was packing on but left nothing to the imagination as it showed the dent of the now enormous cock throbbing within.

With a dramatic increase in height, the material that made up the gym was just more fuel for his size, though the live targets were much more intriguing to his appetite. His head cut through the ceiling like tissue paper, boulder thick arms tearing through the nearest walls as he demolished the first section of the gym. Every footstep made the ground quake at the two story tall obscenely muscled behemoth. The tendrils soon sought after the arguably smaller people, but it was all good for him. Any muscle mass was more than welcome to the beast.

"More...More..!"

As he continued growing, the gym had mostly been destroyed under his immense and still growing bulk, an entire city for him to absorb as well. It seemed even without feeding, the charizard's will forced his body to angrily continue swelling larger and larger. Various veins lined his arms and legs, each pumping and pulsing with power. With a deafening roar, the charizard continued moving.

"Well, if it isn't BuffZard! Someone's gotten a bit too excited."

The voice had immediately gotten his attention. A mountain of purple, bulging veins approached him, the charizard blinking in surprise. it was the nidoking from before. The true shocker of him being there was that he was just about the same size, if not bigger, and still getting bigger by the second. The two had gathered quite the scene. Two large, over muscled behemoths standing over the remains of the gym, bodies pulsing slowly and getting larger. The hum of people talking and yelling along with helicopters filled their ears, but they seemed to be much more focused on another.

"H-how?" the fire type blinked at him.

The nidoking flexed his arms with a chuckle. "Same way you did. Got a bit too greedy a while ago and after seeing you burst through that poor gym, I joined in on the fun." he explained.

"Though I gotta say, you're huge! Though i think it's time the fun ended. All that size is just a bit too tempting for me...Think of how big I could get..." the nidoking muttered to himself. The charizard scowled. Did he honestly think he was going to give this up? The nidoking charged, arms raised and baring his fangs as he dug onto the side of the fire type's mountains traps. He let out a pained roar, feeling his size being sapped the longer he kept latched on.

"No...no...I'm not giving this up...not a chance!"

It seemed the tendrils had responded to the charizard's willpower. As the nidoking bulged in size dramatically, his feeding source fought back. Large green tendrils spiked out from the lizard's back, the massive lupine tied back at the arms and around his body. The enormous appendages lifted him up, the charizard glaring at him.

"I think you're right, it is time the fun end. For you."

The tendrils began to sap the nidoking of every bit of muscle he had. Every pound began to disappear from his body, the difference in sizes becoming more and more apparent. During their conversation, the two had become so large that their massive feet spilled into the streets, the utter thickness they sported making them bump into smaller buildings. Now that only one of them was growing, the increases in size meant a very bad thing for anyone in the near distance. The ground trembled as the charizard continued sapping the ndioking dry to the bone. His body literally exploded in size, becoming but a shadow of what he was a few seconds ago. Applying their total sizes, well more than a hundred feet together meant that the now appointed Buffzard was close to four hundred feet and still going strong. The nidoking now close to an average height, he was kept somewhere on the charizard's person. Considering he could absorb some mass as well, keeping him around as a battery of sorts seemed like a good idea.

With a few more ground shaking steps that cause the concrete to warp at the tons upon tons of pounds being pushed down on it, the buffzard raised his arms for a mighty flex. Those obscene, vein pumped arms simply grew larger, the peak well past his head by a few feet as his pectorals bunched up against his face while flexed. The mountains that served as his traps pushed his head further into the valley the slabs of lizard muscle even more, rendering him blind. Vision didn't matter as long as he was big and he felt big. And boy, did he feel it. At the end of it all, one word seemed to nag at his mind.

"...More."
