Joltik is well known as the smallest pokémon, at 4” tall. On the opposite side of the spectrum is Wailord at 47'7”. It would take about 143 Joltiks to reach the height of the huge whale. One Joltik in particular was absolutely determined to be as big as a Wailord. He had tried studying Wailords, being eaten by a Wailord, sculpting a Wailord, and various other methods, to no success. At the moment of writing, he is sitting inside the stomach of a Wailord again after being lost at sea yet again. He decides to crawl out to the colossal tongue.

Wailord's mouth is big enough to fit a two-story house, so it looks absolutely huge to the small Joltik. It might as well be a large acre farm. But this time, he has an idea to grow to Wailord size. He crawled out the Wailord's blowhole, as it floated on top of the sea. He began biting into the Wailord, trying to pull in the Wailord to himself, trying to swallow it whole. In no way, even with his plot device, was he able to consume the Wailord this way. He was made to swallow electricity, not creatures, especially 47 foot tall ones.

Electricity... A pokéball works off of storing creatures electrically inside a ball. Joltik just had a brilliant idea! He crawled back inside the Wailord, down into its stomach again. There were a few pokéballs laying around, some just stranded, some with trainers. He took one that was hanging open, empty, and attempted to drag it back up the throat. It took a good while but the ball eventually came up. He wasn't sure how to bring the pokéball outside, because gravity interfered. He thought momentarily before deciding to use it from inside the Wailord. He closed the two sides of the ball, sealing it. Then he grabbed it, rolled it button-down, and pressed it into the Wailord's tongue. The surrounding glowed red as the Wailord was converted to energy and sucked into the ball, catching it by surprise. And Joltik too, who wasn't sucked into the ball in terms of energy, but physically. The ball shut with him inside it, and a red light reflecting off of all the internal mirrors, illuminating the inside.

He began 'drinking' the red light, tasting vaguely fatty, meaty and watery. With all the light absorbed, he sighed, filled in spite of not being literally filled. He clicked a failsafe button on the side of the ball, activating the procedure that performs the same functions as opening the ball via the outside button. The ball pops open, revealing a sunny ocean scene. The ball is floating in the middle of the ocean.

Joltik looks at the approximate area of his stomach, disappointed. He still just a Jol-

He suddenly felt the energy inside him be slowly converted to matter. He began growing largely, very quickly. He blacked out for a little while, his stomach expanding much too fast for him.

He woke up feeling really strange. All he could see was yellow for what seemed like miles. He slowly realized that the 'yellow' was him. More notably, his skin was perfectly shaped like a Wailord's skin. He felt the Wailord in his stomach, trying to move around. He let out a very loud belch, all the air from his stomach being pushed out simultaneously. He was a bit above his stomach though, his stomach having adjusted via plot device to accommodate the sudden 47 feet of whale. He felt extremely satisfied. His body would never be able to digest this with in his life, even if he was immortal. He moved his body to the front of his stomach so he could see, slowly learning how to pilot his new mass(even against the struggles of the internal Wailord).

He swam around for a few hours, reaching land masses and turning around. People pointed, oohing and ahhing at the 'enormous yellow Wailo- no wait, it's a Joltik!' Pokémon were amazed by him. Joltiks that made fun of him were incapable of saying anything, even words of surprise or shock. He got tired of swimming around after a while, yawning and falling asleep in the middle of the ocean somewhere.

He woke up the next day, floating even more due to the Wailord turning mostly to fat at this point. He also grew a fair bit bigger. Cruise ships that passed him were amazed at the larger... Joltik. He waved happily to the people passing by, often dropping objects in their hands, passing out, etc. It was always funny to pass by the people and get awestruck reactions, each time. It never grew old. Being big, especially given his species, was great, just as he predicted.
