The setting was just outside the mall. Whitney had just been a pokemon battle with local jerk Paul, who trounced her and knocked out all of her pokemon. "You're a gym leader? Honestly, you might as well sell your badges. It might take actual effort to raise the money." Paul remarked, as jerk rivals are wont to do. He then vanished into the mall, leaving Whitney with that extremely mean comment. A spectator, a young boy riding a komodo dragon, chuckled at Whitney's expense. "Pfft! You no leader. How wimp like you command monster?? They listen, but they could eat you instead! No respect!" Kodomo Dragon remarked, fundamentally misunderstanding the natures of pokemon. Then again, Paul wasn't exactly setting a good example. Without her pokemon, what was Whitney to do except stand there and take the abuse?

Whitney had flopped onto her rear end as Milky, With a rather sad sounding whine, was tumbled over after a simple bum,p in the road, and landed upon its own wide belly, landing with a THUMP, as its eyes turned to spirals, Loppy and Cleffy's own eyes in spiral shapes themselves as Whitney was left to herself. "T-thats no fair, Y-you kept just attacking, T-they didnt even get to mov-- E-eep!" Whitney would stutter and sputter out, Her eyes beginning to well up with tears. Ah, How easy it was to make the Golden Rod Leader cry, as this Jerk who had challenged her to a fight didnt even wait for her to get a badge out, and just snagged it without her actual involvement!

Whitney woulds sniffle a little, Slowly Standing up as the rude trainer would move away so quickly, as Whitney proceeded to Pout, stomping her feet as her tears began to fall down her cheeks! "Y-you MEANIE! Y-you're just a giant , dumb, dumb bully!!" Whitney would yell at Paul, whom was quickly vanishing into the building, as Whitney couldnt even help, but fall to her knee's on the concrete road, Trying to wipe her tears. "W-waaahhhh..!" Whitney would, seemingly, be unable to help herself, With Kodomo Dragon not exactly making things easier for her, as Whitney pouted more, tears still coming. "S-shush, Y-your a big bully too! M-my pokemon listen Fine to me, S-so just h-hush!!" Whitney would defend herself, But, Clearly her self-esteem was fairly shot, as she was still wiping her tear-soaked face over Milky's Fainted form, as she tried to reach for her pokeball to return them, but with how hard she was crying, she could hardly even do that!

How terrible, How Awful, How Childish! Whitney really was stuck to take this abuse, Her Face turning a red from such a cry from these horrible bullies. Would no one help her?? Well, With how loud Whitney was crying, and how she looked over the fainted pokemon, it would be so easy for a passerby to suspect Kodomo Dragon had done this himself, wouldn't it? Or atleast, someone could choose just to help the poor girl!

Kodomo Dragon just kind of blanched momentarily. "...What do??" he asked no one in particular. Why did he feel .......bad?! This dastardly feminine ritual was hurting him! WITCHCRAFT!! "...Stooop. Stooooop..." he complained, poking and pushing Whitney with a club. "Noisy insect! Annoying..!! Stop crying!!" Kodomo Dragon loudly complained in distress, pulling his arm back and raising his club. He was moments away from giving Whitney a good whack over the head to stop her from crying. --Or y'know. Knock her silly. Moments later however, Kodomo Dragon was yanked back and his club hit the ground next to Whitney moments later with a thud.

Standing there, looking significantly rounder around the mid-section than usual, stood Valorie, striking a rather sassy pose. Her hands drifted to her hips, "...You should be careful who you bully. They just might eat you instead!" Valorie sassily remarked. "Pfft. Wimpy girl never eat me!" Kodomo Dragon's muffled voice replied from inside her belly. Valorie blanched for a moment, leaning over and poking at Kodomo Dragon's head through her belly. "...I already did, stupid." she replied. "--What?! No way! No fair! You cheated!!" Kodomo Dragon blurted out, beginning to kick and squirm in a manner that looked decisively surreal and cartoonish if Whitney could even see past her tears. It was like Valorie's belly was made of stretchy rubber or something! But it didn't seem to be doing him much good, mostly only forcing Valorie to shift her hips slightly to keep herself from being thrown off balance by the shifting of weight from within. She smirked devilishly in satisfaction, tightening her ambdominal muscles to squish Kodomo Dragon a bit and partially restrain his squirming so that the bumps and movements he created were less exaggerated. "Yeah, that's right. You got eaten by a girl~ Not so wimpy now, am I??" she replied in a sugary-sweet tone. "--Wah!!"

Valorie chuckled in amusement, stepping forward and bending over a bit and producing a cloth from her purse. She then gently caressed Whitney's cheeks. "Hey... I saw what happened. Are you alright?" she very softly asked, moving to gingerly begin brushing her cheeks dry and cleaning her face in a gentle manner, all the while doing her best to ignore and restrain the squirming from within. Once she was finished, she balled the cloth up and put it back. She then offered Whitney her hand. Her hands were soft and her nails were recently manicured and delicately painted a bubblegum pink. She would gingerly pull Whitney up and pull her into a hug, holding her rather affectionately for a good long couple of moments to comfort her. Of course, this squished Kodomo Dragon between them, and Whitney might feel some pretty weird kicking or pushing sensations in the process. "Sorry. I just really can't stand seeing such a cute, nice girl cry~" she remarked in a light-heartedly flirtatious manner that could easily be passed off as joking around, patting Whitney's back and giving it a little supportive rub before releasing her. "Me neither! Lemme out!" Kodomo Dragon whine-yelled. "Then you should've tried being nicer. And no! You can ask that girl you were bullying about getting out." Valorie sassily replied, winking at Whitney and shaking her head no, going quiet for a moment to allow Whitney to chime in.

"I'm Valorie, by the way. What's your name? ...Wanna find that boy who was bullying you and give him a taste of justice~?" Valorie offered.

Whitney's teary eyes and sniffling seemed to do wonders for Deafening her current attacker's words, As she could only offer one of her hands away from rubbing her eyes to swat at Kodomo, Trying to slap away his Club he was so rudely poking her with, Only until Kodomo was about ready to strike her did Whitney's fit of tears continue once again...Until a strange sound came by, Which seemed to make Whitney shoot up, Wiping her eyes as she finally opened her pink eyes to something behind her. It sounded like a terribly rowdy force was all but suddenly silenced in one simple go!

"W-whaa....?" Whitney would ask, Still pretty upset in her rational mind, only to see herself coming face to-- Well, Belly with a girl, Making Whitney look up in quiet confusion. She was still pretty set in a raw emotional funk, So the fact she was looking at what she was looking at, Didn't seem to register with the girl as much as, as the Gym Leader watched the conversation between the Girl, and the muffled, barely audible voice of the bully previously harassing whitney played out, Which played just enough amusement to elicit a little sniffle, followed by a small petite giggle from the Crying Whitney, As her face started to turn a bit brighter from the quite funny routine!

Getting her tears wiped away, Whitney smiled and nodded, the last of her tears now vanishing into the cloth, as she eagerly took Valorie's hand and-- Oop, A sudden hug as well! Whitney giggled happily, now starting to speak past her sadness. "Yeaah, Im fine..." She would say like a kid who had gotten a scraped knee, being asked if they were okay after getting a ice cream cone after the fact. "Crying isnt so bad every now and again, Its good to let it all out~ That brat wasnt even the reason why, It was that other jerkface." Whitney would say with a huff, cheeks puffing out as now Whitney seemed rather comfortable with the idea of Valorie's strange ability. Amazing what a friend indeed can make you okay with, huh? Well, until another voice coming up between the two made Whitney pout. "...Not to say you helped any, of course!" Whitney would say accusingly to-- Well, to valorie's stomach, though clearly meaning the message for the occupant inside, as Whitney put hands to her hips and continued making the meanest pouty face her cheeks could allow her. That was, until Valorie was encouraging Whitney to participate, as Whitney looked to Valorie and soon, former a rather goofy grin.

Bully for revenge against bullying? Sounded ok with this gym leader!

"Well, i dont know how i can believe you~ I mean, if you go around poking a poor, helpless Teddiursa, You cant really be mad when the Ursaring comes around and you get bit, huh?" Whitney would ask, giggling. "So, I think you should stay there until you learn a lesson in that empty head of yours~" Whitney would say, Before letting out more happy giggles of glee. "Oh! Of course, S-sorry, After all of that i got pretty distracted~" She explained, before coming to grab her Pokeballs, Returning Milky, Loppy and Cleffy to there pokeballs for later use. "My name's Whitney, Golden Rod's Cute-as-a-button Gym Leader~" Whitney would say, Striking a little pose with her arm raised in the air to give off the Cutesy effect, Before Valorie offered...

"...You know what? Yeah!" Whitney would say, suddenly her body seemed filled with a fighting spirit. One would hardly be able to guess just a few minutes ago she was busy crying waterfalls all over the pavement. "He thought he was so cool and tough dissing my badges like that-- Well we can show him! He went right over there, to that MALL!" Whitney would point to just a few feet away, As the Mall's Building loomed in the distance, and a floating Lakitu accidentally dropped a thunderbolt nearby, crashing a bolt of intimidating lightning over the cursed shopping center.


"...B-but, He wiped out my whole team." Whitney would softly say, looking at her Pokeballs with a slight sad tinge in her voice. "Ill need to go to a pokemon center, and train, and..." Whitney would begin to speak, until she looked back at Valorie, and how her body was shaped, The silly physics around her midsection suddenly throwing on the lightbulb in Whitney's head.

"...Oooooohhhh! Well--Of Course! Yeah, Lets do it!!" Whitney would excitedly say, clenching a fist ready to go, Before suddenly digging into her own back pocket, and producing a glass bottle, filled with a white liquid stamped with a Milktank on the front, as she offered it to Valorie. "But before that...Thank you, Val~" Whitney would say, giving her a nickname already. "Heart-healthy Golden Rod Moo Moo Milk~! Besides, Im pretty sure you could use something to wash that Bad Taste down. As a gift for rescuing me~" Whitney would say, particularly being loud around the 'Bad Taste' Part, to make sure Kodomo heard loud and clear.

[Valorie Ryder]

Valorie beamed rather brightly at Whitney's response. This girl knew exactly what she was suggesting and Valorie loved her for it. “Y'hear that? You're going to be staying with me for a quite a while~” Valorie teased with a light pat to her rather round mid-section, eliciting a groan from within. "...Hey, I no taste bad!" Kodomo sorely protested, too thick to recognize this as anything other than an insult. However, his complaints were quickly drowned out when Valorie began drinking the milk Whitney had provided her. "--Stooop! Milk icky!" Kodomo whined. Valorie beamed at Whitney. "...Thanks, Sister~! Let's go find that ace trainer and give him a piece of our minds." Valorie replied, winking at Whitney in a pointed manner.

Walking inside, Valorie and Whitney were quickly met with ...a river of people, walking back and forth between two stores, all back to back with zero space to squeeze in between them. The river was about 30 feet across, thinning out near the edges. Nobody looked at them or acknowledged them, single-mindedly focused on their destination.

Valorie just kind of stopped and looked back and forth at the scene in bewilderment.

" . . . How?? ...Why??"

Briefly questioning the logistics of this, Valorie shook her head in dismissal and turned to Whitney. From her bag, she produced, ...a mega mushroom! That's right. Not a super mushroom, but a MEGA mushroom! The ones that make you super big! "How do you feel about getting big and just stepping over these fools?" Valorie offered.

Whitney had taken a pretty big sense of joy  in seeing her fellow girl take a drink of Golden Rod's pride and joy, Moo Moo Milk, good for the soul, as well as silencing brats like this punk who had taken so much effort to hurt Whitney's feelings! Valorie would even see Whitney's eyes start to water at the barely audible insult to the milk whitney gave her, But, Upon remembering the position he was in...Whitney would chuckle. "Wow, You must be pretty dumb to say that...Maybe if you drank more milk, you wouldnt be where you are now. Its good for your bones, dont you know?" Whitney would lean to Valorie's midsection as she told her this, before laughing it off to come upon...

A Sea of people, Making Whitney seem fairly surprised. It was like those weird witch symbols of the Arbok eating its own tail over and over that the ghost trainers are so into! Regardless, Whitney seemed just as surprised as Valorie. But, Nothing stops the bull!

"Excuse me, Mind if i just get by--"

...And they didnt even stop for her.

"Pardon me!" Whitney would yell, Only met by the chatter of the many people...Jeez, Whitney felt pretty dejected! Whitney put hands on her hips, Puffing her cheeks at the crowd as if expecting her sheer upset face to create a path...No avail, Up until Whitney was brought to focus onto Valorie's suggestion! Whitney would seem quite curious, Having very little knowledge of the Mushroom Kingdom's items. However, She seemed quite interested!

"Sure! ...But, Erm..." Whitney would look at Valorie, A Concerned look on her face. "Y-your skirt....Arnt you worried that size might compromise some privacy?" She would ask in concern of her fellow sister. "Unless... " Whitney would think, before one could clearly see the lightbulb ding. "I could make a distraction for you while you step over, so there's no chance of getting oggled at! Im sure at giant size, anything i do would be quite eye catching to them!"
