The prompt for this day was Ball. With my group of friends, a TF/inflation (for  dragonizedhope) gift story was kinda inevitable. I was a bit conflicted on whether to have the end result be bubble dragon or Rockruff (I had said there would be another bubble dragon TF later, but I wasn't sure whether I wanted to just have the change be purely gummification) so I left it up to the him and he chose bubble dragon.

An additional note: Looking back, I am not happy with this story in the context of an Octransfur entry. Yes, it technically counts, as it has bubblegum TF. However, the event is themed around transformation, while this story kinda feels like an inflation story which happens to have some TF in it. If I could redo this story, it would be a gum TF first, then followed by the inflation, so that way the TF part could have more of a spotlight on it. As a general rule, when uploading an Octransfur story to FA, if I am designating the Theme of said story as something other than "Transformation", something has gone wrong.

Anyway, doing the traditional comparison with what CrizBN did, it's not exactly surprising that we did completely different things. I don't think he'd ever done inflation and he probably never will. I probably should have seen the Pokéball-induced TF coming, mind. That said... ow. It looks like that thing hit pretty hard.
