LITWICK CANDLE FACTORY, 12:00 PM:
"Wow, what a beautifully sculpted candle! So lifelike," the Machoke observed. The Charizard-shaped candle's eyes blazed as intensely as its tail.
"And fully functional, too. I wonder who made it?" the Rhydon wondered aloud. Faint puffs of angry gray smoke billowed from the candle's nostrils.
The Machoke shrugged as he removed his hard hat. "Beats me. But hey, doesn't it kind of look like the foreman?" The stiff, hardened wax quivered almost imperceptibly.
The Rhydon laughed. "It would look more like him if the mouth was open. Y'know, with the way he's always screaming at everyone to get back to work?" Muffled grunts escaped the candle's closed maw, but they could scarcely be heard above the factory's industrial machinery at work.
"You got that right. Ready for lunch?"
"You know it."
The workers chuckled to themselves as they walked away from the "candle." Of course, they knew perfectly well that it was actually their boss trapped in wax—such incidents were not uncommon around here—but since he was usually so strict and cruel with his workers, Machoke and Rhydon were in no hurry to help him. Maybe they'd free him after their lunch break, but for now, they were content to tease him and watch him squirm.
And squirm he did...or at least, he tried to. The wax had thoroughly cooled and solidified by now, leaving the poor Charizard completely encased and immobilized. He tried once again to open his jaws. If he could just use his Flamethrower, he could melt the wax so easily! But alas, the wax kept his snout pinned shut, sticking his lips together in a tight seal.
Charizard sighed through his nose in frustration as he watched over his workers. Every once in a while, one would look his way, and he would try to get their attention by flaring his nostrils and wiggling the tip of his tail, but it was never enough. It almost felt like they were ignoring him on purpose! Charizard groaned as he realized he was going to be stuck as a decorative candle for quite a while longer...

Heh, nice encasement pic and story as usual! This one was pretty well done!
As a suggestion, perhaps you can try a bit of a more gradual encasement story? Like, maybe a petrifying spray of some sort is fired on limb by limb, encasing each part of the body in material until eventually fully encasing the victim, all while they struggle to move and break out? Just a little suggestion. :p
