Pokemon: Alain and Aria's Helium Humiliation Humil Reminder that these characters are 18+ in this story. Another reminder is that the fanfic will feature Body Inflation Turn back if you are not comfortable with the subject matter. "Ugh.... my head...." muttered a voice, this voice belonged to a nice looking man who was sporting messy black hair, blue eyes, and a slim physique. Not only that but he also wore a black leather jacket, a blue shirt with a white undershirt, and fingerless gloves along with a pair of baggy gray pants with black boots that accompanied it. This was Alain, a Pokemon trainer who was Professor Sycamore's appearance before going off on his own journey, now waking up to find himself in a predicament he never expected. As he looked around, he noticed how he had his arms and legs tied up along with how he was in a warehouse in who knows where. "Wha-what the hell? Where am I?" he spoke in a panicked tone. The last thing he remembered was having a chat with a nice girl and walking with her before it all went black. 'Where was that girl anyways?' he thought to himself. Either she was behind his kidnapping or they were both targeted by someone else. Looking around he found the same girl he was thinking about and his first idea was proven wrong. The girl in front of him was a fair-skinned lass with strawberry pink-colored hair, scarlet eyes that were covered by black rectangular glasses, along with very wide hips to boot. On top she had a white hat that sported a pale orange ribbon on it. Her hair was kept down into the form of two twin ponytails that were tied with yellow rings. She wore a white collared top that had frills resembling sleeves, with a hole in the back that showed off the black bra she was wearing underneath. The lower area consisted of a high waisted pair of black pants that were at ankles length along with black and white heeled shoes to go with the pants. Just like him, the lady was in the same predicament as he was, arms and legs both having been tied in place. This was the Kalos Queen herself, Aria in her Arianna disguise, something Alain didn't know. However, he did see a resemblance and was considering bringing it up. "Now that I think about it, why would she want to kidnap me?" Alain thought to himself. "I didn't really know her until now, so I haven't really done much to have incurred her wrath." Knowing that a third party was behind their kidnapping, Alain decided to determine who could've been behind this. Thinking back to who he might've angered, he first ruled out Ash and his friends. Last he heard, Ash and Serena were in Alola and Hoenn respectively. Clemont was busy running the Lumiose Gym with Bonnie, plus he doubted that any of them would've wanted revenge on him after they learned about his involvement with Team Flare. Plus, Bonnie would've been too young to successfully pull off a kidnapping. There were also some of the trainers he defeated in the Kalos League Tournament but they all seemed to have taken their losses with grace for the most part. Another possible culprit could've been that Zygarde core he had helped capture but it likely would've taken him to a part of the Kalosian wilderness rather than a dank warehouse. The last ideas he had in mind happened to be any member of Team Flare. Even then, Malva was out of the question taking into account her vow to hunt down the remaining members before turning herself in as repentance. Same with the scientists who had been caught and got sent to jail. Lysandre was possibly dead too so he's out of the question, even if the body wasn't found. With all of the members of Team Flare narrowed down, he could only conclude that one or more grunts were behind this. However, there was still one more factor that confused him even with him concluding that Team Flare were the culprits behind this predicament and he was looking right at her. "What did the girl have to do with all of this?" he thought to himself. "Did she do something that might have angered the group? If so, it would've been likely I would've heard about it while I was apart of Team Flare." He considered the possibility that the girl likely didn't have anything to do with all the possible culprits, maybe the kidnappers had thought that she was his girlfriend and they wanted to get at him emotionally. Wouldn't have been surprised if that was the case but regardless of their relationship, he wouldn't have wanted her to get dragged into any of this. Noticing the girl moving around, possibly waking up, he knew that he had a lot to explain to the girl. The moment Aria had woken up, she found herself confused at the fact that she couldn't move her arms and legs. As she looked around, she saw the guy who she was talking to tied up. Looking around even more, she realized that not only was she also tied up, both of them were in a place they didn't even recognize. In response to the situation they were in, she screamed. Ignoring the other person in front of her, she frantically struggled against the ropes, trying to break free to no avail. "WHERE ARE WE? WHAT HAPPENED? WHO DID THIS?" she rambled about in her attempts to get free. Alain spoke up, "Hey-" "WHERE AM I!?" the panicking performer interrupted. Alain tried to speak up again, "Hey could you-" "WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN TO ME!?" cut in the girl again. "Do you mind?" Alain said, clearly annoyed that his attempts to get the girl's attention weren't working. "AM I GONNA DIE!?" yelled Aria once more. Alain decided that if she was going to yell, he might as well too. "EXCUSE ME!" yelled the irritated trainer in response, Aria looked at him. "At least that got her to stop." he thought to himself. "Oh.... hey.... um.. did we introduce each other or something?" Aria asked Alain, feeling a bit awkward about it. If there was one thing Alain could remember, neither of them were able to have been able to tell the other their names before being captured. "No, not really." Alain replied in response. Aria was surprised at how well he seemed to be taking the situation. "I guess since it's just us at the moment, we could do it now." he continued on. Thinking about it for the moment, she decided to accept Alain's offer with a nod. "Good." he responded. "Well my name is Alain, I started out as Professor Sycamore's assistant before going off to try and defeat every single Mega Pokemon with my Charizard. You might have recognized me as the winner of the Lumious Conference a while back actually." intrigued, she continued to listen in. "I also ended up almost destroying the world though." he continued on in a more somber tone. "I was manipulated by Lysandre when trying to help out a friend and in the end.... the whole world almost paid the price for it." lightening up, Alain proceeded to go on again. "At the very least I was able to atone for my mistake. So what about you Kalos Queen?'' The last part took her aback. How did he manage to guess who she was? While shocked, she decided to introduce herself anyway. "Well, you were right about me being the Kalos Queen." She said only to see Alain's dumbfounded face tell her that it was just a wild guess and that he didn't expect her to actually be the top performer. In spite of that reaction, she decided to still go through with fully introducing herself. "As you may know I am Aria. You may know me as the Kalos Queen, the region's top Pokemon performer. I'm pretty huge because of that." taking a look at Alain who was currently focused on her current attire she took the chance to explain why she was wearing such attire. "About the whole glasses, hat, and everything else... It's part of a disguise. It's mainly to get away from the attention of fans and the press. I even went by Ariana while in this getup." she noticed Alain looking back and blushing. Seems like she managed to charm the trainer pretty good. Smiling, she asked Alain one question. "You like this?" Snapping back to attention, Alain had struggled to come up with a response before settling on the safe choice of a yes. Thinking to himself, he wondered what was with Aria. How did the Kalos Queen find a way into his heart? Before he could get lost in his thoughts, Aria interrupted the trainer once more to ask why he liked her as Ariana. Sheepishly, he simply said that she was cute, all while blushing and trying to look away. Aria herself blushed at the sight of her companion's reaction. She kinda was starting to develop a liking for him too. Maybe it was how despite the predicament they were in, he still managed to keep calm. It was comforting to have someone handle their predicament so well. She decided to speak up to talk to him again. "So Alain. How exactly did you guess I was the Kalos Queen?" "Well I..uh... I didn't. I just thought you looked like her and... I thought it would've been a bit funny to simply poke fun at the resemblance..... I didn't know you were the Kalos Queen." "Oh... well I guess that if we ever get out of this, you better not tell anyone that this getup is the Kalos Queen in disguise." "Noted, but how do we get out of this?" Aria went pale, she didn't feel any of the Poke Balls that had her Pokemon on her person. She doubted Alain had any of his Pokemon on him. Since they didn't have their Pokemon on hand, if they were both freed of their ropes. What now? For all she knew, the entrance to the warehouse had been locked up and they still didn't even know who captured them. She didn't even know where they were. Professor Sycamore's Lab Pokemon professor Augustine Sycamore looked on in confusion at the crudely closed box that had several Poke Balls inside. 'Who sent him this?' He certainly had enough PokeBalls on hand and they would usually be sent out in much more professional containers. Reaching out for a ball, he decided to look into it. The Warehouse "I don't have any of my Pokemon either!" yelled a panicked Alain. This was bad, not only were they kidnapped but whoever did so had been smart enough to empty them of their mons. "How did you keep calm!" yelped equally as panicked Aria. The moment she asked Alain if he had his Pokemon, his calm demeanor had dropped like a rock. He was now panicking like she did. "I don't know, I just stopped to think of who could've done it!" he responded, frantically trying to wiggle himself free. "Well, well, well. If it isn't the pawn who turned his backs on Team Flare!" a feminine voice called out, coming from someone who emerged from the shadows. This happened to be an admin of Team Flare who went by Ember. The admin sported a white business suit and skirt, hair that was as red as her tights and shirt, and glasses that sported the same shade of red but with a white frame. On her stomach was the belt buckle as golden as the earrings she wore, sporting the Team Flare symbol. The admin looked happy to see that her captives were still tied up. "Oh and his new girlfriend seems to still be here too!" Aria spoke up to correct her kidnapper. "Actually I-""SILENCE!" the admin retorted, having gone from a nice demeanor to one of pure fury. "We had been set back by your interference with Team Flare's plans." she yelled out. "Because of your decision to go against Lysandre, you and the others have brought about his death!" Alain looked unamused, speaking up he replied with "Well he was manipulating me into doing some dirty work, I didn't even know of his true plans! I just wanted to help Chespie!" Lying down the only other thing he could do was glare at the admin. "And again, I'm not his girlfriend!" Aria retorted, deciding to join her companion in defying the admin. "I don't know why you decided to capture us, but if we get out of this. We're coming for you!" "Get out of this?" Ember responded. "Well you're going to get out of this alright." The admin walked up to her two captives, two grunts walked up to her sides. Both held an air tank each. "Boss ain't exactly going to kill you." one of the grunts said. "Oh no, that would be barbaric." the other grunt replied. "Instead, I want to do something that you and soon many others will never live down!" Ember concluded. Taking out two hoses, she attached both to the containers. Walking up to her prisoners, she decided to reach into Alain's pants, inserting the hose into his backside. "Don't touch it!" Alain yelled out. He felt a bit discomforted in having something shoved into his rear. Ember smirked at the look of discomfort that the trainer had, if only her boss was around to see her give the traitor some due retribution. Walking up to Aria, she proceeded to repeat what she did to her, prompting a squeal of discomfort as she too protested the choice that her captor had when inserting the hose. "What are you doing to us?" Aria questioned, clearly nervous about what was to come next. Ember was unamused. "As I said, you and many others are never going to live this down." she answered. "I'm simply going to inflate you two into big balloons. You'll be floating along the sky for many to see as you face complete and utter humiliation from being seen in such a state!" she continued on in a much more excited tone! "Imagine it, several gym leaders and other famous figures in such an embarrassing form. People might think they're into this and they'd point and laugh at the weirdos who blew up into balloons. Especially that weasel Malva. You two are going to have a test run." "Wait!" Alain yelled out. "You can't inflate people into balloons!" "You think so?" Ember smugly retorted. "Believe me we've gotten this helium from a special source. But I'm not going to tell." As she twisted the valves, the admin thought about how it was so unexpected for air spewed from the Drifloon line to be able to inflate a person. It was so surprising to have gained such knowledge and when realizing she could use it to humiliate all that opposed Team Flare, she and several other grunts had gone to harvest air from the Drifloon to use in this new scheme. Alain looked on, nervous as his stomach started to feel air coming inside, he desperately tried to struggle, attempting to get the hose to slide out. However, the hose was too lodged inside his rear to be able to slide out. His struggling was interrupted when he stopped to notice that his stomach had started expanding outward. Alain could do nothing but look in shock seeing a belly bulge out from between his shirt and pants. All he could say was a small, "How?" Aria was doing no better, trying to follow Alain's example by trying to get the hose to slide out from her struggling, she stopped to see the other trainer's stomach expand out to be exposed. As she watched, the air flowing into her started to have its effects. Just like Alain, Aria's stomach started to swell up, rounding out as it too tried to poke out her shirt. Noticing her own stomach, Aria went and tried to use her tied up arms to push down on it. Trying to get past the pleasurable feelings, she pushed down on the swelling stomach, this resulting in something else starting to puff up. "Oh my..." Ember said as she looked at something else that Aria puffed up, that being her buttocks. Aria's pants were struggling a bit with the sudden increase as she tried to look behind her to see what happened to her rear, shrieking as they were puffed up enough to be noticeable. "I never expected for this to even be possible. I guess you learn more and more everyday." the admin remarked, feeling up the Kalos Queen's butt before an accidental push sent the air back to the stomach, triggering an embarrassed shriek from the captive as air rushed back into the belly, gut stretching in an instant with her shirt riding up. Going back to Alain, he went back to struggling when seeing the effect that pushing down on the belly had on Aria. 'Got to get that thing out...' he thought to himself. His belly was getting bigger as it was currently the size of basketball. He stopped upon seeing Ember walk up to him up close and gave her a glare. "Thanks to your friend, I just got a new idea on what to do" she said smirking as her foot pressed down onto Alain's belly. The trainer blushed as it felt kinda good to have your skin pressed down in such a taut state. However rather than go to the rump, it instead went to the chest. Alain looked on wide-eyed as he now sported moobs as big as ladies like Cynthia or Diantha. The admin crouched downwards to press them back down to his stomach, getting out of his wide-eyed shock. Ember took a look at the state of her captives and smiled at how well it was going along. Alain and Aria's bellies were like the size of exercise balls. They'd be too unbalanced to stand up, even without their arms and legs being tied up. Speaking of legs... Alain's thighs were starting to expand. Pushing against his baggy pair of pants, he could feel his butt cheeks dilating as was the rest of his thighs. Alain looked on in confusion as a grunt cut off the rope tying his legs. "Don't get your hopes up buddy," the grunt replied, "I doubt you'll be able to balance your body." In response, Alain tried to stand up only to fall over, even if he was lighter, the sheer helium on both sides made it hard to balance. As the grunt laughed at Alain trying to defy him, the trainer gave out a glare. Aria, observing Alain's failed attempt to stand up, didn't even try to get up when the ropes tying her legs were cut. She could only watch as he continued to swell, all the while her own thighs were expanding, having a tight feeling as they ballooned against her pants causing it to stretch. She felt herself being lifted upwards by her rear end as it filled with air. 'It's no use trying to fight Aria,' she thought to herself, 'it'll just go somewhere else.' "My, my. If you couldn't get the hoses out before, you certainly can't do so now." Ember gloated looking at the watermelon sized butts that Alain and Aria had sported. Looking at her grunts, she asked, "Would you mind cutting the rope tying the arms. It'd be funny to see them try." Both of them complied, cutting off the ropes that restrained their captive's arms. They all looked on, waiting for either trainer to try and embarrass themselves trying to remove the hoses. Neither Alain and Aria were willing to entertain their captors. "Bite me!" Alain hissed in defiance. "I'm not going to play along" Aria followed up with, just as defiant towards the Admin and her cohorts. Rather than get angry, Ember simply chuckled at Aria's comment, "Oh is that so? Then take a look at your chests." she retorted, pointing toward them. Alain and Aria both went wide eyed seeing that their chests were expanding once again. Alain regained his enlarged moobs from before as they expanded alongside Aria's breasts. Not helping was their rear ends puffed up to the size of exercise balls along with their bellies bloating to the point their shirts were rising upwards. Now their legs and arms were puffing up, making it hard to move their arms at all. Even worse was that they were starting to float up. Growing even further, the two started to become much more spherical. Alain's limbs inflated a bit one last time before they were sucked inside their body as did Aria's. Alain felt his pants stretch out as his lower area was inflating, his rump pushing against the nearly struggling pair of pants as it exceeded the size of an exercise ball. As his body puffed outwards his shirt and jacket kept riding upwards, showing off more of his exposed belly. With Aria, while she rounded outwards, also causing her shirt to ride up her ballooning body, like her fellow hostage Alain, she was having a part of her body expand even further with her chest growing larger than ever, exceeding even the likes of Cynthia, Diantha, or even Sabrina and becoming the size of a Pokemon like Golem. Feeling her limbs sink in. She could do nothing but flap her hands and limbs in desperation. Eventually, Ember took a look at what had happened to the two trainers. It was hard to believe how big they had gotten, they were both almost the size of the warehouse they were in. Even more unbelievable was how their clothes stayed on. No matter how big they had gotten, their clothes never ripped apart, their shirts riding up their puffed up torso as more and more of their bellies were exposed with their pants literally widening out. She noticed their cheeks both puffing up, it would've been hard for either to speak. They were truly a gigantic pair of blimps. "Boss, how are we going to get them out without destroying the place?" a grunt questioned. "Don't you worry about that." Ember replied. She pulled out a PokeBall, releasing a Slowpoke. "Slowpoke. Use Teleport!" she commanded. Professor Sycamore's Lab Professor Sycamore and his assistants were both having a headache. Turns out the box sent to them had Alain and someone else's Pokemon. Upon realizing their trainers weren't with them, they all were panicking, making a mess of the lab and the professor tried to calm them down. Not helping was that Charizard and the others would escape the poke balls whenever they were used in an attempt to contain them. He wondered to himself as a Delphox escaped her ball, 'where the heck is Alain and the other trainer?'. It genuinely worried him that his assistant was missing, part of him was worried that Alain would've been targeted by a villainous team after the whole incident back then, now that worry was realized with him having gone missing. Alain could get used as a ransom or even worse. Just as the professor was able to calm down, he noticed something up in the sky. It looked like two balloons, almost the size of a building. Something was odd about their colorations too, one had a gray coloring on one end and black, blue, and white on the other end. The other balloon had a black and white coloring on both ends. The one thing the balloons had in common was that in the middle, the coloring was that of flesh. With all the information in mind, the truth had hit the professor, could it be that those balloons WERE Alain and the other trainer? If that was so, all he could have to say was a simple, "What the...." Lumiose City "Welp, since you're here in all of your puffy glory," Ember asserted to the aerated Alain and Aria, "it's about time we make our leave." "You'll neversh gesh away with thish" Alain snapped back, trying to put his foot down despite his state making it hard to even talk at all. "Well where exactly was the warehouse that you were held in?" Alain and Aria both looked to each other and realized they didn't exactly know where the warehouse they were held in was. "Why else do you think I used Slowpoke? Eh.. who cares? Au revoir" Ember said before commanding her Slowpoke to teleport back to the warehouse. As Alain and Aria tried to look downwards, they could notice the various people looking up at them, some taking photos, and even making calls. Even if they came back to normal, that admin's plan to humiliate them was successful. Aria decided that now was the time to speak up. "Sho Alaish, how doosh whe gesh backsh choo normalsh?" she asked, even with her puffy cheeks interfering. "Maybhe Professhur Shycamorsh couldsh helpsh ush, he mighsh shnow aboutsh Drifloosh airsh." answered Alain. The onlookers looked on in shock at seeing the balloons try and fly across the city which was just really slow. Alain and Aria both tried flapping their wings, not that it helped at all since it didn't have much of an effect on the rate they floated about. Most eagle eyed viewers noticed that there were two human heads sticking out the balloons, one even came to the conclusion that they were trainers, both having been inflated. The two trainer's floating was interrupted upon hearing someone yell, "Those are people!". This prompted gasps from many who heard that claim, as many trainers on top of the surrounding buildings could indeed confirm that they were two trainers that were turned into balloons. Alain, already embarrassed at his state, blushed, "Oh gawsh, why dish shey bringsh attenshun toosh thash?" "Whoosh caresh? We neesh toosh gesh toosh Shycamorsh" replied Aria, just as red as her companion was. As the two trainers slowly floated along, they passed the gym leader of the city Clemont, his mouth agape as he was too shocked to answer his sister's questions regarding the two balloons. Too embarrassed to even acknowledge their presence amid the many shocked civilians. Something they'd realize while floating, was whenever they hit something, it'd trigger a bit of a squeal from them, confusing the already bewildered passerby. "We'resh heresh" Alain called out to Aria as they were floating into the part of the city where Professor Sycamore's lab was. "Alain!?" Sycamore exclaimed, clearly shocked at the state of his assistant and his companion. Running up to the professor were the two trainer's Charizard and Delphox, both just as stunned as the professor at their owner's states. "W-what happened to you two!?" "Ish a lonsh shtory," was all that the trainer could reply with. "Sshame hersh." "We need to get you two the hospital! You are clearly not okay!" "Shure." Lumiose Hospital The doctors were both shocked at the state of these two trainers, never had they encountered something like two people blown up into balloons. They were both struggling to come up with a way to even get them back to normal. It took the suggestion to pound the air out of the two to even get work on restoring the patients to normal and even then it took some convincing for them to go through. As the doctors pushed around their puffed up patients, they'd be treated to what were sounds to say the least as the air rushed out of the two. Eventually after many uncomfortable sounds and moving the two to the inside of the hospital once they were small enough, Alain and Aria were no longer a pair of big, bloated, balloons of a trainer. Turns out the air being forced outside of them was rather dizzying to say the least, the last thing either saw before their vision went dark was of each other, both back to normal. Sometime later... Alain woke up once again, looking around to see himself inside a hospital room, with a hospital gown as well instead of his very much ruined clothes. Looking next to him was the girl who was humiliated alongside him, Aria having woken up with him too. "So are we ever going to live this down?" the Kalos Queen asked her fellow inflatee. Looking at himself and Aria, Alain noticed their bellies still had some roundness to it, indicating that inflation had occurred. Frowning, Alain decided to give some input. "I hope so, I don't want to be known for being blown up into a balloon, not that it matters since that admin's plotting her next move. If she isn't stopped, it won't just be us who are going to be floating around." Seeing the unhappy look on the girl's face, Alain decided to cheer her up a bit. "Look on the bright side. At least people didn't recognize who you really were." Smiling a bit, Aria realized that even though she was blown up into a balloon, Alain was right, nobody exactly identified her as Aria. She could still go out as Ariana and not get hounded by her fans, even if onlookers would know Ariana as the girl who got turned into a balloon. "Thank you Alain.." she said, blushing a bit. Alain blushed back at her, happy he was able to cheer the girl up. Though before he could tell her that she was welcome, a nurse walked in to inform them of visitors. Deciding to let them in, they were greeted by Sycamore, Palermo, and Mairin. All more than relieved that the two were okay with Mairin even hugging Alain. "I'm glad you're okay Alain." Sycamore stated. "Same here." "I just want to know what the heck two were doing as balloons" Palermo questioned. "You both clearly looked discomforted." "Well..." Alain was about to start exclaiming before being interrupted by Aria. "It was Team Flare." "What?" "Team Flare kidnapped us." Deciding to speak up, Alain continued with what Aria stated, "As Aria has mentioned, remnants of Team Flare captured us. They wanted to turn us into balloons to humiliate us." The three visitors were both surprised at the explanation. To think that Team Flare would resort to something so... comical. Alain continued on, "Apparently we were just a test run considering the lady holding us hostage mentioned the idea of the gym leaders and even other famous figures inflating." "That's certainly worrying" Sycamore replied, knowing that he and many others were being targeted by remnants of the evil team who wanted to do nothing more than humiliate them. "How did it feel?" asked a curious Mairin. "I'm sorry Mairin, what?" Alain said, turning to his companion. "I was asking how it felt? Like what was it like to blow up?" replied the youngster. Alain and Aria looked at each other, thinking about it now, their skin got rather... sensitive when they were balloons, getting a rather nice feeling whenever they touched something. Neither exactly knew why they felt this way as balloons, they just liked it, as if they were in heaven from having the stretched out skin make contact. Could've explained the sounds they made when the doctors were getting their air out. Blushing once more and looking away they only had one thing to say. "It felt... good.."
