Some time after Tyranitar's absence from battle, the day of the next tournament arrived. Garchomp was eager to enter the tournament and show off his well-trained physique, so he went to cheer her on. In fact, if she hadn't told him, he would have forgotten the tournament was happening that day. That's how much he was beginning to lose interest in battle.

To be honest, he wasn't sure how she could win with such a bloated body. But she mowed down one opponent after another with her unwavering heaviness and ground-shaking power. Her prediction was correct! And he was proud of her, having accompanied her through her hard eating training.

And her next opponent was... that nidoking. A battle between two super heavy fighters. As soon as the match began, they charged at each other, crashing into each other and wrestling. He didn't miss the sight of their bellies shaking as they violently collided. And so the wobbly fight began, each trying hard to win. Meanwhile, he was so distracted by how jiggling they were that he couldn't concentrate at all. Before he knew it, Garchomp was on the ground, still jiggling.

After it was all over, Tyranitar had a chance to talk with the two. She seemed very pleased with her newly gained weight, but it didn't seem to be enough for Nidoking, who was more used to it. She also said that there were many scenes where she struggled because of her weight. The three obese Pokémon then talked for a while about battles and food, and then decided to hold a food party. Tyranitar and Nidoking seemed happy, but Garchomp began to worry about continuing to gain weight.

It's Day 12. How this pic is "trying hard" is through training and battling.

I'm also trying hard against the negativity that's rampant on the internet. Just when I'd finally overcome my suicidal thoughts and found the joy of drawing art again, I don't want to get caught up in a bloody war for money and fame.
