This story contains: Skiploom prey Vanillish pred freezing ----- Skiploom was trying to walk around town to get home, but due to the intense heat, he was struggling to move "this...is too much...sun" Skiploom says weakly, eventually Skiploom couldn't take it anymore and ran to the nearest tree, hoping that it's shade was enough to keep him cool. as Skiploom cooled down, he refused to move an inch from the tree, feeling that if he tried to walk home in his current state, he might become a fried Skiploom, but as he waited, he saw a Vanillish float by him, seemingly unphased by the heat "hey, isn't the heat bothering you?" Skiploom says weakly, the Vanillish turned to look at Skiploom, not even noticing him before "not really, I found this thing called "never melt ice" and ever since I coated my body in that stuff, I never have to worry about melting ever again" Vanillish says happily "do you have any spare ice? I don't think I can move from this spot without something to cool down with" Skiploom says "sorry, I don't have any spare ice, I wish I could do something to help you" Vanillish says, Skiploom felt disappointed, until he looked up at the Vanillish again, noticing that the ice type is twice the size as him "hmm, I think you can, how do you feel about having a snack?" Skiploom asks eagerly, the thought of being eaten was enough to take his mind off of the heat "well, I guess I could eat, but why do you ask...and why are you looking at me like that?" Vanillish asks, worried that Skiploom might try to eat him "well, considering how you're shaped like an ice cream and you've probably had pokemon try to eat you before, I bet you would love to eat a pokemon as revenge, so you can take your vengeance out on me by eating me, as long as you take me home" Skiploom says "wait, you want me to EAT you?" Vanillish asks in confusion "of course, if you're still as cold as you are in this heat, I can only assume that your belly is even colder, besides, I've been in tons of stomachs before, it doesn't phase me" Skiploom says, Vanillish was hesitant at first, but eventually nods "o-ok, I'll do it, but don't complain if you get a little too cold in there" Vanillish says, he then lowers his body and opens his mouth, moments later, Skiploom jumps up and crawls into the Vanillish's mouth, and after a GULP! Skiploom was sent into Vanillish's stomach, which looked almost like an icy cave "wow, this is amazing" Skiploom says, his words echoing around the Vanillish's stomach "before you get too enamored by my stomach, could you please tell me where you want me to drop you off?" Vanillish asks "oh yeah, just go left of the tree and keep going until you find a mailbox that's painted to look like one of those mimic creatures" Skiploom says, Vanillish nods before floating away from the tree, unbeknownst to the Vanillish, Skiploom was actually freezing up inside of his stomach, but Skiploom didn't mind at all, after all, he was in the blazing heat just a few moments ago, so freezing up isn't the worst thing to happen to him at this moment. when Vanillish spotted the mailbox that was painted to have creepy eyes and sharp teeth like a mimic, he floated up to the doorstep and spat Skiploom out, but it was then that Vanillish saw that Skiploom had been frozen solid "oh no! I'm so sorry this happened, I knew that my stomach was cold, but I didn't expect it to be this cold" Vanillish says worriedly, he then drags Skiploom closer to the sunlight so that the ice would melt off of him quicker, and due to the heat, the ice covering Skiploom melted faster than ever. Once Skiploom was fully thawed, he looked up at Vanillish and grinned "thanks for taking me home, and don't worry about freezing me, being frozen felt great on a day like this" Skiploom says happily, Vanillish felt better knowing that Skiploom is ok "in fact, since I've got nothing better to do today, is it ok if you froze me again? I want to take another look inside of your stomach, it looked like a frozen cave in there" Skiploom says, Vanillish was hesitant, but eventually he agreed "um...ok" he then opens wide and Skiploom hops into the Vanillish's mouth again, this time sliding his way to the ice type's stomach on his own "this is the perfect place to be on a hot day" Skiploom says as he sits on the icy ground "well, I'm glad that you enjoy it, but I don't feel comfortable keeping you in there all day, what if I forget you in there?" Vanillish asks worriedly "it's fine, you can spit me out when I'm frozen solid again, just make sure that you place me on the porch this time, that way I'll still be able to melt, but not as fast as before" Skiploom says, he then felt his body begin to freeze up again, so he decides to strike a pose, the pose being Skiploom grabbing a small chunk of ice and pretending that he was going to eat it, after Vanillish stopped feeling any movements from Skiploom, he spat him out and the first thing he noticed was the pose that Skiploom chose, causing him to giggle, he then looked around the porch and decided to place the frozen Skiploom on top of a potted plant "there, now when you melt, the water will go straight to the soil" Vanillish says, he then takes one last look at Skiploom before leaving "I must get going now, bye" Vanillish says the rest of Skiploom's day was spent watching the ice surrounding him slowly melt over his potted plant, but Skiploom didn't mind this, he was just happy to find a way to cool off, and when the ice fully melted, Skiploom climbed out of the potted plant and headed into his house, even though he didn't do too much today, he was able to get eaten by a pokemon twice, which is always a win in his book.
