I wanted to come back and say thanks again, Sasuke! Your stories are really greatly written and a joy to read! This one takes the whole aspect of Shiny enjoying to play in the mud even sweeter.

You have a nice play with words, I always found, helping to give situations a nice flow and well descriptive feel for why the characters feel the way they feel. The comparissons and the all around choice of words makes the whole aspect of the activities playing out in your short stories so much more entertaining.

You took your time to give Shiny's descend and the whole feel of the subject of the story all the positivity that one can imagine into it. The gardual overwhelmth aspect also got hit near perfectly there. I liked the tummy and hug parllels taht you used (even though I might not be into Vore too much I still can enjoy the aspect of absorption and sinking into a cuddly embrace a lot).
You definitely get a great idea of that it all must be just wonderful and enjoyable to the happy-go-lucky Totodile.
It's also neat how you went between aspects of him somewhat enjoying the side of being held in place by the thick mud and wanting to struggle himself more into it, giving it a bit of the interesting idea for the reader to contemplate if he's really all fine with his position there.

It all comes over in such a nice way that plays both with the aspects of Shiny's character, making use of his abilities as a Pokémon and his physique compared to the scenery. I enjoy it always a lot when you get a good idea of how things might look like for the character, how the situation developes and tehrefore things like the perspective shift.
And I swear, the way you describe the whole sinking process here, you could probably easily write some similar situations like for example somebody having fun as they transform or turn invisible in a similarly enjoyable fashion.

The only lil aspect that you might not have known about Shiny is that he luckily got waterproof gear but he'd surely have to take a while to clean up his stuff from all the caked up exterior. =D

Superfun read that I am still feeling lucky about having gotten from you. I'd love to at some point hopefully be able to read that bigger helium related story "Z for Zero Gravity" from you yet that was part of that wonderful A-Z series. I keep cheering for that I'll hopefully be able to read it and get an even more amazing joy from experiencing it with your talented way of composing such situation writings. I definitely hope that you will have lots of fun with it.

It's all still acknowledged and I wish you much happiness, Sasuke. You're a totodily awesome writer to me. (~^.=.^~)
