Garchomp stared at himself in the mirror. "I'm not... heavy enough for the heavyweights? Well, I'll show them!"

Through months of training, Garchomp began increasing his intake of food, finding the best way to bulk up was with higher calories. With the help of oran berries to give him extra energy, working out became easier to do... but Garchomp wasn't expecting those fruits to do much, so he usually ate a lot at once. After a bit of time, friends started to notice as his midriff grew softer and rounder.

"Wow, Garchomp! You really let yourself go! Keep this up and your gut will hit the floor in no time!" Toxicroak snickered, poking Garchomp's belly. "Think you'll be able to lose all that gut once you're done fighting in the heavyweights?"

Garchomp grimaced as he thought back on the last month. Even with all his exercise, he found his belly kept getting larger.... He was also becoming more winded easily. "I... I'm sure I can. It'll just take a lot of effort!" Leaning in close, Garchomp whispered in Toxicroak's ear. "You won't tell anyone that I've been trying to lose this gut for the past three months, will you? It started getting so heavy that I stopped exercising, and it keeps getting bigger...."

Toxicroak giggled. "S'all right, big guy. I'll do the fighting for us. He just stand there and... deflect them with your belly."

Garchomp sighed. "I can't believe this is... permanent."

"Not that I mind, though, Garchomp. You look great!" Toxicroak said, giving Garchomp a smooch on the cheek.

Garchomp blushed.
