Geez, it took a lot of work for me to write this out. I've been having a very difficult time of things lately. Anyway, here's a little vore story. Maybe now I've written this I can calm down.

000000000000000

So let me tell you a story. Right now I'm in a cave under the water, a cave at the base of a freshwater lake to be precise but what else would you expect from a Vaporeon like me? This is my home after all. My name's Jett. Right now I'm resting, but I'm not the only one resting. My paw's laying on a bulge in my stomach, my friend is right in there. Don't worry, she's fine in there and this is the only way she can survive for long periods underwater with me, until we find another solution. But anyway, this story. I's about how me and her met.

It was about 2 months ago that we first met, on this one day. I should start by saying while this is a freshwater lake, it's so large that it may as well be an ocean. Boats do cross over it frequently and normally I keep away from them. This was especially true this one day as it wasn't a safe time. This boat was being particularly careless. A Gyarados does live in the lake and this day it was particularly enraged, more than normal Gyarados are, at the time I didn't know what had happened to make this Gyarados get so angry, I was staying out of it the entire time. I would find out what had happened later though.

It was the morning when I finally surfaced after the Gyarados's rage had died down and it was now back in the depths. Truth is, I had gone out to swim and seen a mess on he surface so I'd gone up to see just what had happened out there. There was debris everywhere, it looked like the boat which had been out on the water that day had been completely destroyed I could tell it had been a boat due to the types of debris that was around. There was broken wood everywhere.

I was looking around the debris though, I couldn't find any signs of anybody who had been on the boat. I thought that perhaps they had all escaped, at least I had thought so. That was when I saw one large piece of wood drifting on the surface, on top of the wood was a Minccino, an unconscious Minccino out in the middle of the lake. It was the only sign of life which was still around, I swam right up to that Minccino.

"Hello?" I tried using one paw to poke it, but got nothing. The Minccino was still breathing though, so it was still alive. But this was out in the middle of the lake, a long way from the land. I had to try and do some other checks while the Minccino was unconscious. During those checks I realised the Minccino was female, but more importantly she had a number of bruises under her fur, like she'd been hit. I thought they were injuries from the Gyarados attack.

I was looking around, I was trying to work out what to do. This Minccino was still alive, I couldn't just leave her out here. I couldn't push her back to shore on the wood though, she wouldn't stay stable if I did that. And even if I could, or she could lay on my back, I wouldn't be able to swim at full speed without knocking her off. Plus the wind was starting to pick up, so it would have been a more difficult swim on the surface, even if I wasn't carrying or pushing anything.

It was while I was trying to work out what to do that I heard a light whimper. I looked to the wood, the Minccino was waking up. I turned to her at this point, hoping that the wood wouldn't topple when she woke up. My tail had in fact moved out underneath the wood just to try and help keep it sable. "Don't move, or you'll fall into the water." I hoped she had heard those words at least, I didn't think she would be able to swim in this state.

I heard a grunt from her, it was a clearly pained grunt, I didn't know what kind of injuries she had but I was sure nothing inside was broken, thankfully. So she should be able to move, even if I'd warned her not to. Finally her eyes had opened. I didn't know if she could see properly or not though. "Where..." Before she finished her sentence she went quiet, her fur ruffled with the wind blowing and the waves out in the lake.

"Hold still." I was trying to keep her from moving. Thankfully she wasn't moving even if she did look fearful of me, for understandable reasons given the signs pointed to her being on the boat when the Gyarados had attacked. However I knew the bad truth, things didn't look good for her. "The wind is picking up, that debris you're on doesn't look stable I don't know how I can get you back to-"

"No" She had cut me off to my surprise. She looked right at me, still she was frightened. I don't know what she had been through though, not fully at least. "I don't... want to go back to land." I was surprised to hear this. I couldn't stop giving a blank stare, but that look I got from her. She was serious about her words. That and she was looking to the water of the lake while I was looking at her.

"You can't survive out here though." I didn't dare reach out to touch her. If I did she would likely have been knocked off and into the water. She didn't look like she would be able to swim, yet anyway. I wanted to try and convince her that she would be better in the land. "You would tire swimming in the water for so long, then you'd sink. You wouldn't last for a day out here."

"It's better than a life on land" The way she spoke, it made me wonder if she had grown fearful of the land itself and didn't want to go back there. I opened my mouth ready to speak but I couldn't think of a rebuttal. I didn't know enough about what she was going through, plus she was moving. Against my advice she not only moved, she tipped the wood she was on and threw herself into the water but I was also right. She was too injured and she was beginning to sink.

I dove down under after her, I could see her flailing in the water, so I had to do something. I pushed my tail under her and lifted her back up to the surface so she could at least get a breath. However I also had to grab her with my paws, I ws trying to keep her from moving. "D you see? You can't survive lout here." I could see the look in her eye though. If she had more strength she would fight back, she looked like she was a bit headstrong, but I had to get a firm grip. Besides, she'd made things worse for herself, the wood she had been floating on was sinking now.

"Then I'll learn how to survive. How hard can that be?" To my surprise, the fear in her was going away. I had to admit I admired her grit and determination, but I really didn't think she would be able to learn how to live in the water. Especially not now, it was clear she was injured. I saw her flinch when I was holding onto her body, I think I had found a sore spot but this was a serious moment.

"For a land dweller such as yourself, it will be harder than you think it is. You can't breathe underwater. Your body won't be able to withstand the pressure in he deepest parts of the water." I had to speak firm here. But I could see the look in her eye, she wasn't going to back down from this. I still admired how she wanted to though. The look finally made me cave a small bit and I sighed. "Look. If you try and do it un-aided, you will die quickly. At least, let me try and help you. If you're that determined to try and make a life in the water."

"So you want to help me out." The tone of the Minccino had changed slightly. While she still sounded headstrong I got the feeling that she was willing to at least take some help if she was going to survive. I felt her body grow less tense but both of us were looking around. There wasn't any land in sight and nothing more to float or drift on. It looked like she wasn't fazed by that though. "If not, then i'll just have to learn by myself."

"No, you're not going by yourself" I had to interject now. I knew hat would be impossible for her, she wouldn't be able to swim well how she was. I felt her tense up but I had to be stern. "You try and go by yourself you'll tire, then you'll flounder. Then you'll sink and drown. Yet my comments were met with a stern look. I wanted to ensure she survived, yet she was making this difficult. Sometimes there was such a thing as being too independent.

"Then what do you expect me to do?" The Minccino tried to move. Not only did this make her flinch due to my tight grip, but I could tell she was weak. She was being too stubborn right now, after some thought I gave a heavy sigh. She wouldn't survive without my help, or anybody's help, and there was one thing which I could think of doing, though it was something on the extreme side.

"Stay still, you won't be harmed. I will help you try and live here, but you can't learn what you need to right now." I had given in on persuading her to live back on land at least, even if part of me hoped that after seeing how tough it was she would change her mind anyway. It was time to stop her from hurting herself or getting herself killed. I had given her the warning that she needed to keep still and she wouldn't be hurt.

That said I tried not to give her much of a chance to retaliate. My mouth opened up in front of her and I brought it down right over her head and upper body. Being larger than her it wasn't hard to get my mouth and salivating maw around her. I had to hold her in place with my teeth though, this was a precaution against how she responded. "What are you doing?!" Her outcry was what I expected to happen, but what else I expected, some struggling from the Minccino didn't happen. She was remarkably still, though this did allow me to push her up. She was small enough that I could get her entirely into my mouth even if it was tight and she curled up inside. "How long had you meant to do this?"

I couldn't answer her right now, I had my mouth full with her and I was trying not to let any water inside, or she would be in trouble again. Though this was a big mouthful, bigger than what I normally ate so I was having to be slow. I had to push with my tongue a bit, her head and upper body popped out of my mouth, but my mouth still held onto her lower body. This gave her a chance to breathe though, but also allowed me to see her face. She looked over her shoulder at me. I was expecting a frightened look from her and while there was one, there was also a blush on her face.

"Do it..." Her tone was completely different. There wasn't the hotheadedness that I had come to expect from her, it was instead quiet and accepting but did I feel a sense of longing from the tone as well? At the time I couldn't tell what she was thinking. My tongue pulled around her body, pulling her slowly in. When her feet touched my throat I tilted my head up, then I started swallowing. As I did I closed my eyes and opened my mouth, the latter allowing her to sink back into my mouth.

I felt her lower body in my esophagus, my body stretching out for the larger than normal meal. That tightness in my throat, it felt really nice. I thought at the time I should eat larger things more often. Plus this Minccino's taste, it was different than anything I had tasted before. Such a different taste, I had needed that in my life. I mostly fed on fish and the plant life in the lake, but now I was eating a land creature.

Swallowing her head was a bit harder and I had to really try. She was still though, so thankfully that made it a bit easier on me. When I managed to swallow it felt very firm in my throat, then the lump that was the Minccino was moving down my body, past my shoulders and further down. Then finally the movement was still, that Minccino I had swallowed ended up inside my stomach. I didn't know how much space she'd have, but from some movement I felt, from her moving slightly, she seemed to have enough space.

"To answer your question... I started considering that when you were being stubborn about wanting to live out here." With those words I dove down under the water, now I was returning back to a cave where I had made my home but I had to dive more or less straight down to reach it. This was an easy swim, but I still felt that weight inside me. "It's the only way to get you to survive out here if you don't want to go back to land"

"Well it's true, I don't want to go back" It was thankful my body had a lot of water in it, I could hear her a lot better as she spoke as a result. I kept diving, my stomach cradling the Minccino as I dove down to the depths. I wasn't expecting her to tell her story though, but she went on and I wasn't stopping her. "That boat I was on... it was a boat used by poachers, a boat which that Gyarados destroyed. I... don't want to live on land. I want to avoid people like that again."

"Poachers?" This explained what had happened. My mind began to click together on the series of events. The Gyarados had been pretty agitated than normal lately. "Perhaps that's why the Gyarados was so angry. It may have known what was happening, and taken the matter into its own hands and taken them down." This left soe questions but it did explain why the Minccino wanted to flee the land. She may feel safer if poachers couldn't be seen. It also explained something else. "That's why you were injured, wasn't it? I thought that was when the Gyarados attacked you."

"No... that was when I was trying to fight back against those poachers." The Minccino laid down, I felt her move, but she was still otherwise. That was something I was thankful for, it made swimming easier. My stomach kept a hold of her, I was surprised she wasn't upset at being eaten. What she said next explained it though. "Well... at least if I'm to go... it's a way that I've been thinking of."

"What?" I didn't stop swimming, the cave I lived in was close by anyway. I swam into it and hen onto the area which I used as my sleeping quarters, curling up in the spot and lowering my head on the bulge which now rested on my stomach. "When I said this was for your survival, it was the truth. I wasn't going to harm or kill you." I could tell the Minccino was surprised, I felt her press against the walls of my stomach. I nuzzled at where I felt the paw though.

"So... so you'll help me learn how to live in the water?" Now her voice was full of hope, it was a hope I couldn't really turn down. Yes she was headstrong, but I had at least a better understanding of her now. I looked up briefly, there was one thing I hadn't yet told her. There was an air pocket in my underwater cave, it was somewhere where she would be able to rest on dry land and be out of sight. I would show her when she was out.

"I'll help you. Even if you have to live more in the shallows in the end." I truthfully thought that is what would happen at the time though, but that was my offer. I intended to help her however I could do, even if it meant letting out the air pocket in my cave for her to use.

That was about 2 months ago. When she said that she wanted to live in the lake, that wasn't her just throwing a tantrum. She actually really meant it and she has tried pretty hard. She's learned how to cope with the high pressure well and she's able to hold her breath for a very long time now. Though she also took a liking to being inside me, she spend a lot of nights in there, not that I mind. Her name's Quartz, she's turned into quite a figure in this lake. She even managed to befriend that Gyarados that destroyed the boat she had been on. She's come a long way. But those are stories for another time.
