In an Unknown Cave...

"Let's just go Tesla, I don't think there's much of anything in this cave." A young female trainer let out a disappointed sigh as she turned back in the direction she'd come from, her Luxray following close behind.  He seemed relieved, for he never wanted to enter the mysterious cave in the first place.  

"Could you let off another flash?  It's getting dark, well darker, in here." The girl asked.  The Luxray illuminated his eyes and lit the cavern, though the light only went a few feet ahead.  "Thanks buddy!" The girl stroked his head before continuing on.

…


"Okay, it's official.  I have no idea where we are." The trainer sat down on a rock to think.  They'd been searching for the exit for about an hour now.  The girl looked around her dimly lit surroundings to try and get an idea of where they were and where they'd come from.  This cave was so confusing!  

Tesla let out an uneasy growl as he sat down beside his trainer, making sure to keep his flash aglow.  His eyes darted from wall to wall trying to find a route they could take that might lead them to the exit.  There was no such path as far as he could tell, but there was something very odd in this chamber.  He felt a presence, but he couldn't locate it or tell if it was dangerous.  
The trainer was attempting to scribble a map on the stone floor.  The light seemed to fade, causing her to squint.  "Hey Tesla, keep up the light, will ya?"  She turned to where her Luxray was moments before only to see his glow disappear around a rock.  "Tesla? Where are you going? Did you find something?" She inquired as she moved to follow him.  Suddenly there was a loud yelp and an earsplitting roar that echoed throughout the cavern.  Tesla came tearing around the corner, nearly knocking the girl over.  "Woah what's wrong Tesla? What did you find?" She asked as she tried to calm her partner down. Tesla was shaking all over, causing spark jumps within his fur.

Another roar cracked through the cave, causing both Tesla and his trainer to flinch.  The sound of rapidly approaching footsteps bounced off the walls and into the girl's ears.  Her blood ran cold when the creature came into view.  It was a Garchomp, a very large Garchomp.  The beast swung its hammered head in their direction, a strand of drool escaping its jaws.   It let out a deep growl before charging at the trainer and her partner.  Both were completely frozen in fear.  

The land shark slammed its body into Tesla, sending him flying into the opposite wall.  It began to move towards him, but stopped as the trainer launched herself onto its back.  The Garchomp attempted to grab her with its claws, but couldn't reach her.  Out of frustration, the dragon ducked down low before swinging his torso upward, throwing the girl on to the floor.  She struck her head on a rock, leaving her unconscious and bleeding slightly.  

The Garchomp towered over the girl.  It leaned down to sniff her, saliva dripping out of the corner of its mouth.   It took her shoes in its jaws and pulled her closer.  It lifted her from the floor by her waist and dangled her above its head.  The sand shark opened its jaws wide and slowly began to lower the girl's feet in.  Its throat expanded as more of the trainer entered.  Waves of muscles forced her deeper into the dragon with every pulse.  

Half of her body was within the Garchomp when she regained consciousness.  She seemed unaware of her surroundings or of what was happening to her.  She tried to move her legs, but found them stuck and…wet?  The girl looked down to where her legs should have been; only too see the yellow eyes of the Garchomp.  She couldn't see much in the dim cavern, but she felt the contractions around her legs and lower torso.  She was being eaten.  She let out a shrill scream and attempted to pull herself out of the dragon's maw, causing it to clamp its jaws down around her chest.  She beat at the beast's face and neck, but it did nothing to stop her descent into its body.  Her shoulders were passing the Garchomp's jaws now, forcing her arms upward.  Her screams and yells were becoming more muffled as her chest and head moved deeper into the throat.  The little light within the cavern was now disappearing.  All the trainer could see was the dark silhouette of the land shark's jaws and pointed teeth.  She tried to grab its upper jaw in a final attempt to escape, but could not grip the slick surface.  The jaws were closing around her hands, and she was forced deeper into its black gullet.  
The walls of the esophagus were slick and warm. She found them somewhat comforting actually, despite the fact that she was being consumed.  Her feet entered an area that was slightly more spacious, though not by much.  She was now inside the Garchomps stomach.

Tesla struggled to get to his feet.  He worried for his trainer's safety.  He looked towards the Garchomp only to see a pair of arms disappear into its mouth, and a large squirming bulge move down its throat.  Tesla let out a low growl and jumped towards the dragon.  It gave a final gulp before turning its attention to its new foe.  Tesla jumped again with his claws unsheathed, but was met by a powerful tail slam to the head.  He slowly stood up again, but was unable to see straight.  The Luxray struggled to locate the land shark.  Out of desperation he let off a powerful discharge, though it did nothing to the dragon.  It grabbed Tesla by the shoulders and forcefully shoved his head into its mouth.  Tesla squirmed and kicked, but was only forced in deeper.  The Garchomp was not willing to waste time on him, so it quickly gulped him down whole.  Tesla found his movements restricted by the tight walls of the dragon's throat, and was powerless to resist the rhythmic contractions that pulled him towards the stomach.
"Te-Tesla?" A voice called.  The Luxray pricked his ears and meowed.  He entered a slightly more spacious area where he found his trainer.  A purr rumbled in his throat as he relaxed against his companion, letting the gentle movements of the Garchomp's stomach lull them both to sleep.
