Oh! And lastly, I went ahead and wrote-in signatures for who specifically wrote each part, just to keep things nice and tidy. n_n", "writing": "------------------------------------[u]Thumperump[/u]-------------------------------------\n\n\"C'mon, Axel, we've gotta get going if we wanna make it in time!\" Otto the Dewott shouted from the other room, gathering his things in a large camping backpack.\n\n\"Coming!\" Axel said from his bedroom with a little annoyance in his voice. He had gotten used to living with Otto for the past two years, but there were times that the Dewott could be a bit of a control freak. Axel was more on the quiet side, in great contrast to his fiery appearance. He was, however, still very adventurous and was looking forward to the trip he and Otto were taking together. The Flareon carried his bag into the living room, but not before walking by the kitchen and seeing a mountain of dirty dishes in the sink. \"Otto, I thought you said you'd do the dishes this time...\"\n\n\"Oh, those!\" Otto said, watching Axel come into the room with his backpack. \"Sorry, I don't think we'll have any time. We've kinda gotta get going.\"\n\n\"Ugh, this is the last time I let you cook one of your 'Friday Feasts'. We always have way too much food and you always leave me to do the dishes.\" Axel complained, glaring at the Dewott. \"I can barely walk because of how much I ate.\" Axel was not only thinking about the enormous meal he had just consumed the night before, but also the fact that he was feeling a little backed up...down there. He tried doing his business the day before, but found that he was very constipated and could only push out minuscule amounts of gas.\n\n\"Never in my life have I heard a 'mon complain about too much food,\" Otto said, trying to be humorous about the situation. Looking over to the sink, the Dewott also thought about how much heavier he felt with all that food inside of him. Not only this, but Otto had also been feeling a little constipated over the past couple days. In fact, this was one of Otto's main motivators for making such a large meal the night before; he wanted to get his internal plumbing operating again.\n\n\"We can leave the dishes for when we get back; we'll only be gone for a day or so. Enough about dishes, though, we've gotta leave now so we can find a good spot to camp! Pokémon from all over are gonna be camping up there tonight to see the northern lights!\"\n\nAxel and Otto walked out their front door with their bags and camping supplies on their backs. Axel noticed that other Pokémon living in their village were walking on a trail leading north. \"Remind me where this place is again?\" Axel asked Otto as they went in the direction of the north trail.\n\n\"We're gonna be camping in the fields up by Pomace Mountain,\" Otto replied confidently, obviously having done his research.\n\n\"Pomace mountain?! That's a nine hour walk!\" Axel exclaimed.\n\n\"Yep! Nine hours of walking with my best bud sounded pretty good to me. Unless that's a little too strenuous for you...\" Otto said, trying to get a rise out of Axel.\n\n\"Strenuous? Pffft, this won't be a problem,\" Axel said, getting cocky and walking a little faster to challenge the Dewott next to him.\n\n\"That's what I thought,\" Otto said, continuing to walk with his fiery friend as they took the first steps on their long and arduous journey. At that time, both Pokémon were trying to hide it from each other, but nature was beginning to take its course with the massive meal they had eaten the night before. Whether they liked it or not, they were both going to need to take care of business at some point in the near future.\n\n---------------------------------[u]AnonymousFeline[/u]----------------------------------\n\nOnly about 15 minutes had passed after they'd left their village before Otto's stomach made an ominously foreshadowing noise.\n\n[i]*GrrOOOooaNnn...*[/i]\n\nOtto slowed his pace and looked to Axel, a tad flustered, knowing the Flareon must have heard the noise as well.\n\n\"Sorry for that, heh...\" The Dewott smiled nervously and tried to play the noise off.\n\n\"...? Sorry for what?\"\n\nEvidently, Axel had been too pre-occupied taking in the sights and sounds of nature surrounding the two of them to pay the noise any mind.\n\n\"Oh! Uh, n-nothing...\"\n\nAxel curiously raised a brow, expecting Otto to divulge what exactly it was he'd just apologized for. Otto, hoping Axel would brush it off and continue walking, stared back at Axel. Within seconds, they'd come to something of an awkward standstill, both unsure of how to transition the conversation along. After a moment, though, something in Otto's mind clicked, finally giving him an out.\n\n\"Uuuummm, I was just... uh, apologizing for not doing the dishes earlier...! I know you're really meticulous about household chores and stuff. I just feel kind of bad about always leaving them for you to do. So, uh, yeah, sorry...(?)\" Otto's apology toward the end sounded more like a question than a statement, but it had apparently been enough to convince his friend.\n\n\"Oh! I mean, yeah, it can get kind of annoying, but thanks for at least acknowledging it this time.\" Axel gave a friendly smile and Otto breathed a quiet sigh of relief as they continued walking.\n\n[i]Still...[/i] Otto thought to himself, quickly glancing back at Axel, whose attention had all but dissipated back into the world around him, [i]My stomach doesn't feel very good... Should I run back to the house to take a quick bathroom break? Ugh, but what would Axel do if I left him alone here? Maybe I'll just wait until...[/i]\n\nOtto's train of thought seceded as his nose suddenly picked up a less-than-fragrant odor as he walked.\n\n\"Phew! What's that smell?\" The Dewott looked over to Axel, who he expected would laugh and joke along with him about how a Stunky must be up ahead of them or something, but as his eyes met Axel's, the Flareon's expression was more that of a deer that had just been caught in a pair of headlights.\n\n\"...heh...\" The Flareon anxiously smiled. The resolute nature of his timid reaction told Otto everything he needed to know.\n\n\"Yuck! That was you!?\" Otto jolted forward a couple feet until the air around him was free of the awful stench that had just assaulted his nostrils.\n\nA wave of paralyzing embarrassment washed over Axel as he clenched his eyes shut for a moment, unable to vocalize any sort of response. Although Otto had long-since gotten comfortable with cutting loose around Axel, who was surprisingly nonchalant about it, this had been the first time the roles had been reversed.\n\nAfter a moment, Otto walked back to Axel's side, who had a troubled look on his face, clearly not used to doing such private things in front of others.\n\n\"...sorry.\" Axel looked at his friend, who knew not to overplay his dramatic reaction. \"I guess since I'm a Flareon now, certain things about me have changed that I'm still getting used to...\"\n\nOtto suddenly remembered that indeed, it had only been a few days since his pal's evolution. It made sense to him that as a fire-type, Axel's 'output' as a result would probably be a lot warmer, and a lot smellier...\n\n\"Uhh, it's all right, haha.\" Otto thought of what else to say. \"It's not that I mind or anything, it's just... I wasn't expecting that, I guess.\"\n\n\"Yeah, heh... I was hoping you wouldn't notice... anyway, I won't do it again. I just needed to do that while there was nobody else around.\" Axel slowly began picking his pace back up, and so Otto did the same.\n\nYet little did Axel know, the substantial portions of food from last night's feast were about to take their toll.\n\n------------------------------------[u]Thumperump[/u]-------------------------------------\n\nThe long, long walk continued as the day progressed. It had been about four hours since the two Pokémon had set out on their journey. Both Otto and Axel had been dealing with their abdominal distress since they had started, and while it didn't feel like anything solid had been moving, there certainly was a good bit of gas being produced.\n\n[i]*PFFFFRT!*[/i]\n\n\"Phew, that doesn't smell too good,\" joked Otto, who had just passed gas for what must've been the fourth or fifth time that day. He was walking behind Axel, letting his friend take the lead while he stunk up the air behind him.\n\n\"Are you ever gonna run out?\" Axel said, joking back but also sounding somewhat irritated. \"Every time you let one rip it feels like the breeze carries it right over to me!\"\n\n\"I'm telling you, Axel, it's your food! I'm a gas machine thanks to you,\" Otto said, \"I can't believe you've only squeaked one out this whole time.\"\n\n\"Y-Yeah, heheh...\" Axel laughed nervously. In reality, the Flareon had been holding back his gas so as to avoid the harsh embarrassment he had felt earlier. Unfortunately for Axel, holding it in wasn't going to work forever, and the gas in his rectum would soon need an escape. Instinctively lifting his tail and slowing his pace, Axel tried to break wind silently by pushing lightly.\n\n[i]*Fssssssssfp...*[/i]\n\n[i]*PFPPPPRT!*[/i]\n\n\"Aw, come on, Axel! I'm walking right behind you!\" Otto said, stopping and coughing into his arm, trying to fan away the smell.\n\n\"S-Sorry, I tried to do it quietly...\" Axel offered, trying to rectify the situation.\n\n\"Aw, you scarred my eyes too, dude! I saw everything when your tail went up!\" Otto complained, unable to see that Axel was now blushing under his fur.\n\n\"Y...You saw...under my tail?\" Axel asked shakily to confirm his fears.\n\n\"Yeah, it was gnarly! Don't you ever wipe back there?\" Otto said as he got back up, half laughing and half recovering from the toxic gas he had inhaled.\n\n\"Why were you looking back there?!\" Axel said in embarrassment, feeling humiliated that he had been exposed to his friend.\n\n\"Hey, you're the one who lifted his tail up high in the sky just to fart! You should've remembered that your friend was walking right behind you!\" Otto said.\n\n\"Wh-Whatever, just...just don't go around telling other 'mons about this,\" Axel said, worried he'd get made fun of for something like this.\n\n\"Relax, Ax, this is just between your cheeks and me, okay?\" Otto teased, laughing as he continued to walk with his friend, to the side of him this time.\n\nThe day went on and a couple more hours had passed. At the rate they were going, Axel and Otto only had 2-3 more hours before they made it to the campsite. Both Pokémon had been stinking up the air every now and then to release tension. Axel was feeling slightly better about passing gas in front of Otto, but was still very nervous and embarrassed about doing so. With how long it had been since their big meal, it was only a matter of time before the farts turned into something...more solid. Though it wasn't on the front of either of their minds, both Otto and Axel felt a little build-up in their lower intestines, and it wasn't gas this time. Their conversation at that point in time had shifted over to the campsite.\n\n\"So...is this a nice campsite we'll be going to?\" Axel asked, hoping there would be things like tables and fire pits out for campers to use.\n\n\"Campsite? Nuh-uh, we're heading out to a popular camping spot, but there isn't anything out there except for sweet mother nature,\" Otto explained.\n\n\"Oh. So no...bathrooms out there?\" Axel asked, trying to get an idea of what his immediate future held for him.\n\n\"Everything around you is gonna be a bathroom,\" Otto continued to explain.\n\n\"What do you mean?\" Axel said, not catching on.\n\n\"You're gonna have to do your business out in the grass or something, that's what I mean,\" Otto said, seeing Axel begin to get nervous as his eyes darted back and forth, thinking about what this would mean for his situation.\n\n---------------------------------[u]AnonymousFeline[/u]----------------------------------\n\nAxel thought about the idea of relieving himself in potential view of multiple onlookers, and felt a sort of instinctual fear at the idea of doing so. He shuddered and reassured himself that he'd find some way to take care of any bathroom necessities without anyone's notice.\n\n[i]Actually...[/i] He considered his options, [i]what if I ask Otto for us to stop off to the side for a minute to do that? It won't really make a difference once we get there anyway, will it?[/i] Axel stopped walking for a moment.\n\n\"Hey, uh, O-Otto...?\" The Flareon's voice was shaky.\n\nOtto turned to face Axel, who'd planted his rear against the ground as he felt an unusually strong urge push south. \"Are you okay? Why'd you stop walking?\"\n\n\"Hold o-on...\" The two remained stationary as Axel's stomach began to rumble, indicating things were beginning to really build up. \"Do you think we could step off to the side for a few minutes? I don't feel good...\"\n\nOtto, failing to put two-and-two together, didn't quite understand the notion behind Axel's request. \"Oh, do you need to throw up? I actually brought a couple of barf bags just to be safe, let me get one out for yo--\"\n\n[i]*Fffffff....bbbBRRRRRMPPPFFF*[/i]\n\nJust then, an awfully loud cloud of hot gas blew out from underneath Axel's tail where he sat, starting as a loud hiss, and gradually turning into a bassy blast.\n\nAxel would have turned his head away from Otto in shame, but before he even had time to do so, he felt a very heavy block of waste nearly part his tailhole open as he sat.\n\nOtto was initially surprised by the loud blast, and stared in awe for a split second. He began to laugh until the smell suddenly hit him.\n\n\"Hehehe--GEEZ!!!! PHEW! That REEKS, Axel!!!\" The Flareon, feeling the sudden heaviness in his rectum only intensify, forced himself into a squatting position where he was, still in the center of the smoggy cloud of gas, looking back at Otto in fearful humiliation.\n\n\"I-I'm sorry, O-Otto...! I can't h-hold it any longer...\"\n\n[i]*Brrrrt...*[/i]\n\nAs another warm, low-pitched fart preluded a dense brick of waste beginning to force the Flareon's anus to bulge outward, something unexpected happened. At first, rustling in the nearby brush off to the side of the trail. Then, for a moment, silence. Both Axel and Otto stared quietly, stopping what they were doing to transfix on whatever had caused the movement.\n\n[b]*SHHHHSHHSHHHSHHSHHHSHHH*[/b]\n\nAlmost in disbelief at what they were seeing, it had appeared that an entire oak tree about 50 feet behind them was being violently shaken, the leaves and branches creating a deafening sound that had scared some Pidgey, Starly, and Swellow out of nearby nests.\n\nWithin seconds, the tree started to bend at an angle, before it finally began to come roaring down. Otto and Axel both braced their bodies for the impending crash as the tree landed, causing Axel to pucker his tailhole tightly shut in the process.\n\n[b]*CRRRRRAAAAAAASHHHHHHHHHH*[/b]\n\nIt felt like a small earthquake had taken place as the immense piece of lumber collided with the grass and dirt. The ground shook for about a second before a heavy cloud of dust engulfed the area where the tree had fallen. Otto desperately wanted to ask Axel if he'd just seen what he just saw, but couldn't find himself able to muster up the ability to speak. Axel would have taken off running, but found his body nearly paralyzed with shock.\n\nAfter a moment of stunned silence, the dust began to clear. Axel's and Otto's eyes were completely focused behind them. Where there was once a trail, now lay the thick trunk of a large, slain oak tree, with many deep scratch marks carved across the lower half.\n\nBefore Otto or Axel could find themselves able to speak again, some more rustling came from the brush next to where the tree had originally been. The Dewott and Flareon could feel their fight-or-flight responses practically screaming at them, but they were unable to look away.\n\nThen, an abnormally tall dull blue figure began to reveal itself from the brush, followed by a more regular, yet still large, quadruped.\n\n\"...is that...?\" Otto, being a fan of Poké-arena fights, immediately recognized the two figures. \"G-Gash a-and... Zigz-zag...?\"\n\nThe two large beasts hadn't taken notice of Axel or Otto yet. They began to speak, while Otto and Axel listened-in intently.\n\n\"There. Firewood.\" Gash passively remarked to Zigzag.\n\n\"Well, dang. I stand corrected, then. I didn't think you could take down a tree that size, not to mention with such ferocity.\" The Zebstrika was visibly impressed, yet spoke casually, as though this was nothing new to him. \"But, are you really going to carry that thing down to the camping spot? We're still a couple hours away, y'know...\"\n\n\"You worry too much, Zigzag.\" The giant Garchomp, despite hardly being half the size of the tree he'd just downed, proceeded to hoist the trunk from its midpoint over a shoulder, and began taking the trail forward. \"Let's go.\"\n\n\"Heh. All right, boss.\" Zigzag followed behind. As the two turned to face north, they noticed Axel and Otto both staring in petrified awe at what they'd just been witness to.\n\n\"Hmmph.\" Gash scoffed at the small would-be prey as he continued down the trail carrying the oak tree while Zigzag trotted eagerly behind.\n\n\"...............\" Otto was at a loss for words.\n\n\"...what just happened...?\" Axel began to shake his head, as if snapping back to reality.\n\n\"L-let's just, wait here a couple minutes for them to get a good lead in front of us.\" Otto suggested shakily, still stunned. \"You can even take care of your business now, Axel...!\"\n\nThe Flareon's eyes lit up as he realized it was an opportune time to do so.\n\n\"W-wait...\" He lightly blushed, feeling silly about the inconvenient timing of his bodily urges. \"I, uh, the urge kinda went away after all that...\" The Flareon grinned sheepishly. \"That kinda shook me up...\"\n\nOtto looked unamused as he rolled his eyes and began slowly following the trail again, with Axel by his side. \"Well, that's good I guess, 'cause it's going to get dark soon, so we need to make haste!\"\n\nThe two friends spent the next 2 hours hiking up the trail, as they finally neared their destination point.\n\n------------------------------------[u]Thumperump[/u]-------------------------------------\n\n\"Is that Pomace mountain up there?\" Axel asked Otto, hoping they were reaching the end of their long trek. Both the Dewott and the Flareon were exhausted from all the walking, and carrying their big camping backpacks on their shoulders wasn't making the hike any easier.\n\n\"Yep, I'm pretty sure it is,\" Otto replied, satisfied he was able to navigate his way to his destination without many detours. \"And it's starting to get a little darker. This is gonna be really pretty, huh?\"\n\n\"I hope so,\" Axel said, \"after all that walking, I could use a nice reward.\" As the Flareon thought about how nice it was going to feel to sit down and look up at the show nature was going to put on for him, he had suddenly remembered what else nature had planned for him that night. \"Hnnngh...\" grunted Axel quietly as he walked, feeling his bowels twinge a bit. Since the shock he experienced a couple hours ago, Axel's need to relieve himself had not been very noticeable. As time went on, however, the Flareon could feel his waste piling up in his lower half.\n\n\"You doing alright over there, Ax?\" Otto asked, noticing that his friend had grunted and was walking a little more carefully.\n\n\"Yeah, d-doing just fine,\" Axel responded, trying to hide from Otto how badly he needed to go. He wasn't close to exploding, but the feeling was getting almost impossible to ignore. \"You said...you said they didn't have any bathrooms here, right?\"\n\n\"Bathrooms? Not that I know of, no,\" Otto said, soon realizing that this fact would mean trouble for him as well. The blue otter could feel the weight in his lower abdomen as he continued to press forward with Axel. \"You can see if they added facilities here, though. We should get a good view of the campground from up there,\" Otto explained, pointing about fifty yards ahead on the trail where it appeared to start going downhill. Both Pokémon made it to where they could get a full view of the grassy fields below the giant mountain in front of them.\n\n\"Woah...\" Axel said, in absolute awe of the vastness of the area. Looking down, the Flareon could see what looked like more than two hundred Pokémon of all shapes and sizes setting up tents and blankets to prepare for the northern lights. \"Look at how many 'mons came here, Otto!\"\n\n\"Yeah, it's a pretty popular event,\" Otto explained, trying to find a place that looked open enough to set up their tent. \"Down there looks like a pretty good place to set up!\" Otto and Axel walked down the path leading to the field, passing other Pokémon who were setting up their tents along the way. \"Looks kinda crowded. Hope our spot doesn't go away!\" Otto commented, trying to keep his mind off of his growing urges as he scanned the area.\n\nAxel, meanwhile, was starting to get very nervous about where he would eventually need to drop his load off. His whole life, he had been very private about his bowel movements, mostly thanks to some embarrassing incidents in his youth as an Eevee. For him, this was going to be the first time in a long time that he did his duty outside, and he was dreading it heavily. As he and Otto continued to walk through the field, they both saw a spot that looked like it would work for setting up their tent. \"Is that the spot?\"\n\n\"Yep!\" Otto said, running over and throwing his bag down, claiming the area. \"This is gonna work great!\" While the area was big enough for them to set up their tent, Axel noticed that it was in very close proximity to a few other groups. Hoping there wouldn't be any disputes with the other Pokémon, Axel threw his bag down and got to work helping Otto set up. Otto retrieved all the tent supplies he needed from his bag, but took a moment to himself after doing so.\n\n\"Otto, are you alright?\" Axel asked, seeing that the otter was squatting slightly with a distressed look on his face.\n\n\"Yeah, just...gimme a sec...\" Otto said, grunting to himself before Axel could hear air escaping from the otter's rear end.\n\n[i]*Pfssssssss...*[/i]\n\n\"Hahhh...that feels better,\" Otto said, sighing in relief as he grinned at Axel. \"I wouldn't step over here if I were you, haha!\"\n\n\"Gross! You're still gassy?\" Axel said, watching Otto organize the tent materials.\n\n\"Oh, and you haven't let one rip at all today, Mr. Perfect?\" Otto joked, making Axel blush and feel embarrassed. Axel had never put together a tent before, so he sat and watched intently as Otto assembled the structure for their temporary sleeping situation. \"Alright, Ax, I need your help for this part. Hold this end of the tarp and help me pull it tight over the structure.\"\n\n\"Okay,\" Axel said, taking the piece of tarp in his maw and pulling it over with Otto. The two campers tried their best to keep the tarp tight, but were having trouble with how much strength it took to do so.\n\n\"Can you reach the hook? You've gotta attach it to the hook in the grou--\"\n\n\"I KNOW ABOUT THE HOOK! You've told me five times already about the stupid hook!\" Axel yelled in an outburst, frustrated by how long the process was taking, not to mention the growing pain and pressure in his rear. The Flareon's tantrum garnered the attention of one of the nearby groups, causing a female Fennekin to come over with a female Buizel to see what all the ruckus was about.\n\n\"Jeez, I'm sorry,\" Otto replied, trying to help his friend calm down. \"Here, let's give it one more try. Pull it extra tight and try to hook it in.\" Without a response, Axel bit tighter and tried again, pulling with all his might as he got closer and closer to hooking in the tarp. As he was getting closer to reaching his goal, however, he could feel some gas bubbles approaching his rear exit. His tail was lifted up high thanks to all the strength he was exerting, so both of the females who approached him from behind to offer their help were getting quite the view of the struggling Flareon.\n\n\"Excuse me, do you--\" the sweet Fennekin started to say, only to be cut off by the Flareon in front of her. And it wasn't something he said, rather something that his rear had to say.\n\n[i]*FFRRPFFFBRTT!*[/i]\n\nThe Fennekin and the Buizel were immediately hit by a wave of foul air as they watched the gas sputter from Axel's exposed tailhole. They both stood there in absolute shock, very offended by what they were smelling and very embarrassed for the Flareon who had revealed quite a bit about himself to them.\n\n---------------------------------[u]AnonymousFeline[/u]----------------------------------\n\nAxel had heard the Fennekin begin to speak just before his outburst, and his heart sank at the thought that they might be just behind him as he let loose. Though he felt almost paralyzed by the thought, he managed to turn around to confirm his worst suspicions. Not one, but two girls were there standing mere inches behind him!\n\n\"...ummmm...\" The Buizel stared at Axel, then to her friend, then back to Axel again.\n\n\"Uh--I, um, I mean, I didn't, uhh--\" The Flareon wanted to apologize and explain that the timing of what had just happened wasn't intentional, but the extent to which he found himself able to actually speak in the moment was just too incomprehensible for them to understand.\n\n\"H-hey, it's all right,\" the Fennekin recognized Axel's stumbling mannerisms and knew it just have just been a matter of bad timing, \"I can tell you didn't mean for that to happen...!\"\n\n\"N-no! I mean, uh, y-yeah! It wasn't...\" Axel continued to verbally trip over himself trying to explain what had been going on as they arrived, but his attempt to do so only further confused the two girls.\n\n\"Soooo... you did mean to do that, then?\" The Buizel spoke up; her tone of voice carried a twinge of both annoyance and genuine confusion, which only served to intimidate Axel even more.\n\n\"NO!\" He shouted a bit louder than he meant to, surprising both the girls and Otto, who had just gone back to fidgeting with the hook himself.\n\n\"Then why'd you--\" The Buizel's voice trailed off as she saw Axel's fur beginning to dimly glow. Otto immediately took notice of this as well, and knew from the many arena fights he'd seen that some fire types would light up similarly before their bodies discharged an explosive flurry of fire from all directions, igniting everything in a nearby radius.\n\n\"Whoa whoa whoa, calm down, Axel...!\" Otto firmly placed a hand on Axel's nape, who at this point was covering his face and could feel tears welling up in his eyes. The Dewott stroked his friend's back for a moment as his fur gradually began to fade back to its original color.\n\n\"Hey, uh, look,\" Otto began to explain to the girls, a bit better at articulating his thoughts in tense situations, \"my friend didn't mean to blast you two like that, you guys just walked up at a bad time, and--\"\n\n\"LOOK!\" The Buizel, completely disregarding Otto's explanation, jerked her friend's front paw as she pointed to the sky. A neon green light glimmered faintly across the upper horizon of the sky, signaling that it wouldn't be too much longer until the lights were in full view for everyone to admire. \"Quick, let's go get our blankets ready!\" The Buizel dragged the Fennekin back to their spot, who reluctantly followed despite appearing as though she still had something to say.\n\n\"Axel, look at that!\" Otto's eyed gleamed in awe at the ray of light, cast between starry constellations and a void-black sky. Axel looked up at the iridescent glowing streak and felt his nerves begin to calm. But despite his nerves beginning to settle back down, one thing that seemed to do anything but settle was his stomach, which began to bubble and rumble foretellingly.\n\n\"Ooh... H-hey, Otto...?\" Axel gently tugged at the Dewott's sash-like fur, but his friend was too immersed by the night sky to notice. That is, until his own stomach quietly churned, reigniting a stressful urge he'd, until now, actually almost managed to forget about.\n\n------------------------------------[u]Thumperump[/u]-------------------------------------\n\n\"Let me guess...\" Otto began, having a pretty good guess about what Axel was going to ask him, \"you need a bathroom?\"\n\n\"...y-yeah...\" Axel replied with his cheeks burning redder than his fur. \"I've [i]really[/i] gotta go now...\"\n\n\"Well, it's funny you say that,\" Otto said, blushing a little as his voice had gotten a bit more shaky, \"because I've really gotta go too...\" The Dewott's stomach rumbled again after he said this, only this time it was followed by a brief but audible puff of air from his blue, furry rear end.\n\n[i]*PFFFRT!*[/i]\n\n\"I guess we'll get to look for a good place to do our business together, then,\" Axel suggested, seeing as they both had an incredible urge to defecate.\n\n\"Well, yeah...\" Otto started, looking around and seeing that all the Pokémon were preparing to look up at the sky. \"I just didn't wanna miss the light show! You think you can wait a little bit longer?\"\n\n\"I dunno...\" Axel said, trying to hide the fact that he truly was desperate to drop his load. His pink tailhole was bulging in and out as he tried to contain all of the waste behind it. \"Maybe it'd be a good idea to do our business while every 'mon here is looking up at the sky. That way, there's almost no way anything embarrassing can happen!\"\n\n\"Aw, come on! We hiked nine hours to get all they way up here,\" Otto said, worried that the long journey they took would be for nothing. The Dewott, however, felt another push at his exit signifying his serious urgency. Holding his tail down firmly over his rear, Otto reconsidered his options. \"On second thought...I don't wanna have to worry about finding a place to go when everyone else is done looking up at the sky. And it's getting harder to hold in...\"\n\n\"It'll be fast, c'mon!\" Axel urged his friend, feeling that his rectum was full and couldn't hold his load in much longer. The Flareon was hopping from paw to paw at this point, looking around frantically for an area that might work in the open, grassy field.\n\n\"Do you see anywhere that'd work around here?\" Otto said, nervously looking around like Axel was doing. The otter thought he would be able to do his thing without worrying about other 'mons watching, but now that he was out in the open and desperate, he was having a lot more trouble with the prospect of another Pokémon seeing him unload.\n\n\"No, there are tents and 'mons everywhere around here!\" Axel complained, trying to see if there were any trees nearby. \"The closest trees look like they're a mile or two away! There's no way I'll be able to make it that far...\"\n\n\"Relax, relax, we'll be alright,\" Otto advised, trying to think his way out of the situation. \"It's already pretty dark out, so you won't have to worry about being the center of attention or anything. We can probably just go behind a nearby tent and nobody would know, simple as that!\" Otto was starting to get very nervous himself, thanks to Axel's anxiousness and the lack of private places to squat down and go number two. Just as he thought things couldn't get worse, he looked over to Axel and saw that the Flareon was beginning to glow lightly again.\n\n\"Uh...Axel?\"\n\n\"Yeah?\" Axel replied, not aware yet that his glowing fur was becoming very visible.\n\n\"If we're trying to remain inconspicuous, you might wanna turn your fur off...\" Otto instructed, noticing now that some other nearby Pokémons' attention was drawn to Axel's glowing fur.\n\n\"Hey, Flareon, dim it down!\" a Kangaskhan said, \"we're trying to get a good view of the lights!\"\n\nUnfamiliar with how his new Flareon body worked, Axel was completely stuck in his attention-drawing state, unable to stop his obvious glowing. \"I don't know what to do, Otto!\" Axel whined, keeping his tail firmly over his rear. \"It's getting worse, I'm gonna end up [i]going[/i] any minute here...\"\n\n---------------------------------[u]AnonymousFeline[/u]----------------------------------\n\n\"Well you'd better figure out how to stop it soon, or else everyone's eyes are going to be on us!\" Otto's impatience began to get the better of him. He began hopping from foot-to-foot in desperation.\n\n\"I can't help it...! My body does that when it's under pressure, I think...! And believe me, it's under a [i]lot[/i] of pressure right now...!\" As Axel struggled to speak, he couldn't help but lift his tail and let out a small, yet deceptively odorous fart.\n\n[i]*Brapp!*[/i]\n\nJust as Otto was about to concede to his growing urge, he got an idea.\n\n\"That's it!\" He exclaimed in a sort of whisper-shout to Axel, whose luminescent glow had only gotten brighter. \"I can't believe I didn't think of it before, but while those two girls were over here, I managed to connect the hook and got the tent set up; we can just go in there!\"\n\n\"What!? Are you crazy!?\" Axel looked revolted at the idea of relieving himself in the same spot he'd have to sleep for the night. \"We're going to sleep in there, though! That was the whole point of setting the tent up, right???\"\n\n\"I mean...\" Otto looked up at the sky once more, then back to his surroundings, seeing everyone's attention was still on the spectacle above. He spoke softly amid all the chatter surrounding them. \"What about this: we get a couple blankets out from the tent, then go inside and, uh, [i]go[/i] as quietly as possible. Then we can close the tent behind us to keep the smell from escaping, and sleep outside on the blankets! It seems like a small price to pay for privacy if you ask me!\"\n\nAxel was surprised by Otto's clever spur-of-the-moment solution, and took a moment to consider it. \"W-Well...\" His stomach began to gurgle as a second wave of heavy pressure bogged south toward his rear, nearly causing it to open and forcing him to start pushing where he was standing. \"I-I don't think I'll be able to go v-very quietly, b-but I don't have much of a choice anymore... I f-feel like a loaded cannon about to--[i]frrrt[/i]--go off... nnnh...\"\n\nThe two of them hastily entered the tent one after the other, now feeling concealed and hidden from the rest of the outside world, even though all that separated them was technically only a sheet of cloth and a couple of structural bits and pieces.\n\n\"Uhh, turn around, p-please... Y-You know I'm bathroom shy...\" Axel blushed and struggled to get his words out as he felt his rectum being pushed out in every direction at once. He began to assume a squatting position toward one corner of the tent, facing the slanted wall of sheet.\n\n[i]*Ffffff...ffsshhhhrrrRRRTTT*[/i]\n\nThe Flareon's ears perked up as he heard what was at first a quiet hiss in the other corner of the tent turn into an alarmingly wet expulsion of gas. \"What happened to going [i]quietly[/i]?\" Axel half-teased, hoping everyone outside was too distracted by the lights and chatter going on around them to notice his friend's flatulence. Though, with Otto wasting no time answering nature's call, Axel decided it was time for him to do the same.\n\n[i]*fffffffffFFFFFFfff...*[/i]\n\nContrary to Otto's, Axel's fart was much softer, and, like his others had been, was very, very warm.\n\n\"Axel!\" Otto quietly exclaimed, covering his nose and wafting the air around him away, consumed by the smell and confined by the enclosure of the sheets. \"Are you trying to asphyxiate me or something!?\"\n\n\"Sorry...! This might not be the smartest idea after all...\" Axel smiled embarrassingly to himself. \"If it's that h-hard to handle though, m-maybe you should step outside until I f-finish...\" He half-joked as he said this, knowing he was far from done gassing the small enclosure up.\n\n\"As if!\" Otto tried to put on a brave face and did his best to ignore the assaulting stench, and proceeded to release another of his own.\n\n[i]*Frrrpppprrrrttt!*[/i]\n\nAxel snickered at the sound coming from the other end of the tent. Though Otto's gas certainly had its own distinct smell, which was far from pleasant, it wasn't nearly as hard to bear as his own stinky heatwaves.\n\nAxel's quiet laughter turned to soft grunting as he felt his tailhole beginning to crown open. He released another silent cloud of hot gas as his anus widened. Suddenly though, and without warning, he clenched it tightly shut as he saw the silhouette of a large figure standing tall directly on the other side of the sheet outside.\n\nA familiar voice spoke in a frustrated tone. \"I thought I told you to DIM IT DOWN, Flareon! NOT to turn your tent into a giant LANTERN!\"\n\nBefore either Otto or Axel could react, the walls around the two were heaved up and thrown to the side several feet away by an angry, looming Kangaskhan. Her stern, loud voice and the aggressive nature with which she ripped the tent from its bindings to the ground attracted the stares of many nearby observers.\n\n\"...!\" Without the sheet to confine the smell, the awful combined stench of the two Pokémons' pre-defecation gases immediately began to permeate across the area, and the Kangaskhan was the first to be hit by the wretched scent.\n\n------------------------------------[u]Thumperump[/u]-------------------------------------\n\n\"Aw, what's that smell?!\" a nearby Arcanine complained, fanning his paw at his muzzle as he coughed and gagged.\n\n\"It came from where Kanga is!\" one of the Kangaskhan's friends said, pointing over to where Axel and Dewott were squatting. \"It was probably those two 'mons under the tent she just uplifted!\" With the attention of a few dozen Pokémon already on them, both Axel and Otto were starting to feel the sting of embarrassment as they remained frozen in their squatting positions.\n\n\"What's going on here?!\" the giant Kangaskhan asked in a loud, booming voice, drawing even more attention to the event. She looked down and saw that both the Flareon and the Dewott were squatting. Coupled with the awful smell around them, she put two and two together and confronted them. \"Were you two...pooping?! In your tent?!\" The loud and embarrassing accusation cut through the silence like butter, garnering laughter from the audience and making Otto and Axel hang their heads in shame. Trying to avoid any ridicule from the surrounding Pokémon, Otto was quick to deny her accusation.\n\n\"What?! Of course not! We were just...\" Otto argued, trying to quickly think of an excuse to get him out of the situation. \"Just doing our nightly squat exercises! Right, Ax?\" Otto smiled nervously and bumped the Flareon on the shoulder before doing a couple squats to demonstrate. \"One, two, one, two, one--\" [i]*FBBRT!*[/i] Otto was cut off by a short and loud brap from his rear, causing him to stand up straight with a shocked look on his face. More laughter began filling the air as the nearby Pokémon continued to watch.\n\n\"Heheh...that'll happen sometimes if you're not careful!\"\n\n\"Squats? That's the best you could come up with?\" the unamused Kangaskhan asked the nervous pair.\n\nNow more scared than he had been in a while, Axel was starting to sink back into a squat, lifting his tail slightly as he whined and looked down at the ground in shame. His first log was already beginning to poke out of his rear, but luckily he was still facing the Kangaskhan. Though it wouldn't take her very long to find out what was happening thanks to the horrid smell and audible noises Axel's bottom was producing. Puffs of air escaped Axel's rear as he grunted and shuffled his hind legs.\n\n\"What...what are you doing?\" the Kangaskhan asked, hoping her suspicions wouldn't be confirmed. Axel was frozen where he was and couldn't respond to the towering female in front of him.\n\nOtto looked over to his friend and saw that his first log was beginning to emerge.\n\n\"Axel, stop!\" Otto whispered to the Flareon, \"try to hold it in!\"\n\n\"Gross, he's pooping!\" a more shrill female voice said from behind Otto and Axel. Both Pokémons' stomachs sank as they realized the audience in front of them weren't the only ones watching.\n\n\"No way, he wouldn't be doing something like that with all these other Pokémon watching,\" the Kangaskhan assumed, still hoping she wouldn't have to witness something so unsanitary.\n\n\"He definitely is, I can see it coming out!\" Axel heard the same voice say from behind, making his eyes go wide and his tailhole clench tightly shut, cutting off the two or three inch part of his log that had emerged.\n\n\"Eww!\" Axel heard several voices say from behind as his stained butthole winked nervously. Turning his head back with fear in his eyes, Axel could see that almost fifty Pokémon were all looking back in his direction as his brightly shining fur and his lewdly exposed undercarriage. Not only did the Pokémon behind him witness the embarrassing deposit his rear had made onto the grass, but the Pokémon in front of him could see the chunk of Flareon business that dropped between his legs.\n\n\"Oh my goodness, you are pooping!\" the Kangaskhan said, gravely offended by the smells and sights she was witnessing. Otto was feeling heavy waves of second-hand embarrassment wash over him as he watched his newly evolved friend humiliate himself in front of a whole field of Pokémon. He felt that his friend didn't deserve to be in the situation he was in and sought out to make things right.\n\n\"Hey, why are you all watching this? Can't my friend do his business in peace without all you pervs watching him?!\" Otto shouted out, drawing even more attention from around the open field.\n\n\"You're the ones who are making all the noise!\" a nearby Loudred commented.\n\n\"And the smells!\" an annoyed Roserade complained.\n\n\"And your buddy's glowing really bright! It's messing with the lights in the sky!\" a Camerupt joined in.\n\n\"Can't you guys just ignore hi--?!\" Otto continued to berate the audience, only to be interrupted by the storm his own rear was brewing.\n\n[i]*PFRBRBRT!*[/i]\n\nThe laughter following Otto's emission was much louder this time, thanks to more Pokémon watching the show he and Axel were putting on. \"C'mon, Ax, we gotta go, everyone's watching us here,\" Otto decided, grabbing his friend by his fur and pulling him away. \"There's gotta be somewhere around here where no one will see us...\"\n\n---------------------------------[u]AnonymousFeline[/u]----------------------------------\n\nOnly after several yards of quick pacing through the crowd did Axel yank against Otto's pull, planting his rear firmly against the ground not far from their original spot.\n\n\"Axel, come on! I can't hold it much longer!!!\" The pitch in Otto's voice was a bit higher than normal, reflecting the immense desperation he was struggling to stave off, if not just for another minute or two. \"Keep running!!!\"\n\n\"I CAN'T!\" Axel yelped, feeling horribly frustrated and humiliated. His fur shone brighter than ever as a response to the overwhelming sensory overload he was experiencing. Before Otto could even formulate a reply, he reflexively jolted back as Axel's body spontaneously discharged a torrent of flames in every direction at once. Fortunately, aside from Otto himself, no other Pokémon were within the blast radius as the bright, scorching flames disintegrated into a twinkling array of colorful flashes and sparks. This did, however, attract yet even more stares from any of the other Pokémon whose attention wasn't already on the troubled duo.\n\n\"A-ah! Sorry Otto! That wasn't--I didn't mean to...!\" Axel profusely attempted to apologize for nearly burning his friend. The surrounding onlookers had mixed responses to the sudden explosive lightshow Axel had just accidentally put on.\n\n\"Whoa! That was pretty!\"\n\n\"Are you TRYING to hurt us!?!?\"\n\n\"You trying to start a fight or something???\"\n\nSeeing as most of the nearby crowd was getting the wrong idea about what had just happened, Axel decided it best to chance succumbing to the painful urge in his rear, and quickly stood back up and began running to avoid confrontation with the numerous bystanders. Otto was perplexed as his friend silently began sprinting through the crowd once more, but figured it be best not to ask questions and just follow along.\n\n\"H-hey, wait up Axel!\"\n\n------------------------------------[u]Thumperump[/u]-------------------------------------\n\nAxel was being driven forward by sheer willpower at this point, as his rear was about to give out any second. The Flareon's eyes darted left and right, looking for a place that would work for him to unload before finally seeing what seemed to be his saving grace. \"Is that...a tree?!\" Axel said excitedly, running over to the silhouette of the tree he saw about fifty feet away with Otto following closely behind.\n\n\"Hold on, Axel, you're going too fast!\" Otto told his friend, holding his blue, furry cheeks together with his paws as he chased after him. The tree Axel was running towards had a few other dark figures next to it, but they were all facing in the opposite direction and couldn't see him or Otto approaching. The Flareon eventually arrived at the tree's roots and immediately turned his rear toward the trunk, squatting down and raising his tail.\n\n\"I can't take it anymore, Otto,\" Axel whispered to the Dewott, \"I've gotta go right here!\" Axel's face went from constrained to relieved as he loosened his tailhole and let a preemptive fart out.\n\n[i]*PFFFFFST!*[/i]\n\n\"Uhhh...Axel?\" Otto tried to notify his friend of something important. The Dewott could plainly see that Axel was not squatting behind a tree, but rather a Trevenant who was also there to witness the northern lights. Unfortunately for Axel, he was too lost in the relief of his release to notice that the Trevenant had turned around, along with the five other Pokémon he was out camping with. The Flareon was already beginning to push out the rest of his first log, filling the air with crackling and popping noises as the euphoric relief shot through his loins.\n\n\"Hahhh...\" Axel sighed, feeling his log slither out of his open tailhole and begin to taper off. \"You're right, Otto, when you just forget everything and let go, it's wayyyy easier to go out--\"\n\n\"WHAT do you think you're doing?!?!\" the Trevenant shouted out, drawing all of the attention to Axel as his smelly log plopped between his hind legs on the ground.\n\n---------------------------------[u]AnonymousFeline[/u]----------------------------------\n\n\"............\" Axel stared blankly at the Trevenant, who was both rightfully furious at the Flareon, and yet still seemed as though he was trying to process what just happened in front of him.\n\n\"...h-h-heh... um, I c-can explain...!\" Axel felt overcome with fear, and braced himself as the six figures, all much larger than he, towered frightfully over him.\n\nThe Trevenant began to reach down to grab Axel off the ground, but Otto quickly spoke up to try to change what seemed like an inevitable fate for his ill-fortuned friend.\n\n\"W-wait! Please don't hurt him, it was an accident! He just needed to use the bathroom and thought you were a tree! Well, I mean, you technically are a tree, but--\"\n\nAxel exhaled disappointingly and rolled his eyes as he watched Otto go off on an ineffective tangent, completely failing to cover for his friend's honest mistake. He briefly considered making a run for it while the group's attention was turned to Otto, but decided there was nowhere he could really go to hide. Neither did he want to potentially leave his friend with the intimidating gang surrounding them, so he remained put while Otto continued to ramble fruitlessly. \"--and that's why I don't understand how a spirit could even take possession of a tree. Isn't that weird? Well, I mean, I guess that's kinda beside the point. Uhh, what was I talking about again?\"\n\nThe six figures looked to one another, then back to Otto and Axel. The Trevenant, completely disregarding the aimless spiel Otto just gave, was about to reach back out and grab Axel by the puffy fur around his neck, before one of the other members of his group, a scary looking Pangoro, chuckled to himself and began to whisper something to the Trevenant.\n\n\"...?\" Axel and Otto glanced at each other, unable to make out the whispers from the large panda.\n\nAfter a moment, the Trevenant looked back to Axel, and his livid scowl began to shift into a sort of menacing grin. He then looked to Otto.\n\n\"Heheheh... It was just an accident, huh? Well, I suppose it wouldn't be right to fault your friend for that, then.\" The Trevenant noticed Otto's odd posture, and assumed he was in the same boat as the suspect Flareon. \"Actually, you look like you could use a bathroom break yourself, Blue, so lemme help you two out...\"\n\n\"Really!?\" Otto's eyes lit up with hope, as he pictured himself soon being able to find sweet release in total privacy.\n\n\"Yeah, yeah, of course.\" The Trevenant's friends all snickered malevolently to themselves. \"Now, see, if you look over there...\" The Trevenant pointed behind him, where a large tree could be seen disheveled on its side, lain flat against the ground nearby a pair of especially large tents, \"there's actually a biiig tree over there you two can go behind. I'm sure nobody will interrupt you guys while you do your business there.\"\n\n\"Wow!\" Axel managed to smile, despite the overwhelming urge to defecate still prominently at the forefront of his mind. \"Thanks a bunch for pointing that out for us! We really owe you one!\"\n\n\"Heheh... any time, [i]pal[/i].\" The Trevenant feigned a friendly smile as Axel began to dash out toward the large uprooted trunk in the distance.\n\n\"C'mon, Otto!\" Axel rushed his friend, who swiftly followed behind.\n\nUnfortunately, neither Axel nor Otto could recognize the otherwise familiar scratches and deep carvings in the tree's trunk amid the darkness of the night as they approached nearer.\n\n...\n\n\"So whaddya think that Garchomp'll do to 'em when he sees those two dropping logs next to that tree he lugged all the way here?\" The Pangoro snidely chuckled as he posed the question to the Trevenant.\n\n\"Heh. Well, let's just say I don't think they'll be much a bother to the rest of us anymore tonight.\" The Trevenant watched as the two naive Pokémon reached the large trunk.\n\n\"Wow! An actual tree!\" Axel excitedly exclaimed, still feeling extremely bloated and beyond ready to finally release his load.\n\n\"Yeah, and this one isn't even demonically possessed!\" Otto joked as he began to get into a squatting position, preparing to let loose a couple feet from where Axel stood.\n\n------------------------------------[u]Thumperump[/u]-------------------------------------\n\n\"Alright, here goes...\" Otto said, spreading his legs a bit and lifting his flat tail into the air before beginning to push on his rear. \n\n[i]*FSSSFprtt!*[/i]\n\nAxel watched as the Dewott's rear expelled some foul-smelling air before the tip of his first log poked out from his tailhole. At that same time, Otto happened to glace over to Axel and saw that his friend was staring right at his lower half. \"What are ya staring for?\" Otto said a bit teasingly, turning his rear more towards Axel and bending over. \"You want a better view or somethin'?\" Otto joked, spreading his furry cheeks open with his paws and showing off everything he had between them, looking back at his friend with a devious smile on his face.\n\n\"Aw, gross, Otto!\" Axel reacted in disgust, seeing the Dewott's log emerging from his rear up close and personal. \"What's your problem, dude?\"\n\n\"Hey, you're the one who was staring!\" Otto explained, stepping back into a more comfortable position before starting to push again, making his log slither out another few inches. As he watched Otto focus back on unloading, Axel took the opportunity to do the same. The Flareon squatted and raised his tail with his rear facing the trunk like Otto was doing. He could feel the breeze over his dung-caked butthole, making him cringe a bit before relaxing his bowels yet again that night.\n\n[i]*PSSssssffptt...*[/i]\n\n\"Ahhhh...\" Axel sighed as his second log crowned at his tailhole. The pink orifice opened slowly around the brown mass as it inched its way out into the cool air.\n\n\"This feels better without a whole audience watching,\" Axel remarked as he felt his log tickle the rim of his anus on its journey outward.\n\n\"You said it, pal,\" Otto agreed with his friend, feeling his first log begin to taper off before dropping from his rear and plopping onto the ground.\n\n[i]*PFFRBRBRT!*[/i]\n\n\"Phew, watch out, I think you're in the blast zone!\" Otto joked as he pinched his nose, hiking one of his legs and looking between them at the log he just dropped. \"Haha, that was a big one, wasn't it?\"\n\n\"Woah!\" Axel reacted to the size of the log that was on the ground underneath Otto's rear. \"Yeah, my famous mega feast'll do that to ya I guess, heheh. Speaking of...\" Axel said, feeling his log taper off and plop onto the grass. \"Hahhhhh...\"\n\nMeanwhile, Gash and Zigzag were out enjoying the light show nature was putting on for them when the mighty Garchomp felt the urge to urinate come over him.\n\n\"Wait here, Zag,\" Gash said, standing up from lying down and brushing himself off, \"I've gotta go and take a leak.\"\n\n\"Be back quick, boss, you don't wanna miss much of this,\" Zigzag advised, watching as the Garchomp stomped off. Gash walked over to where he and Zigzag had set up camp, noticing his massive tree trunk was right where he left it.\n\n\"Good, these Pokémon here know better than to steal something that belongs to me,\" Gash said to himself, stepping off into some open grass and letting his bladder loose.\n\n\"Ahh...\" the massive Garchomp sighed as his urine pattered into the grass. He was in a state of complete relaxation...that is until his nose caught a whiff of something absolutely foul. \"What the...?\" Gash said to himself as he finished peeing and followed the stench closer and closer to where his big tree trunk was sitting.\n\n\"Off to a good start, the flaming Flareon's third log looks to be a winner, folks!\" Otto joked as he stepped over to Axel and looked down at the log slowly starting to leave his bottom, doing sports-like commentary as a joke. Axel clenched and sucked the tip of the log right back into his twitching butthole before shooting an irritated glare at Otto.\n\n\"Otto, you know I'm bathroom shy, c'mon!\" Axel complained, shuffling his haunches and trying to get his rear out of view of his friend.\n\n\"Sorry, haha, I'm having too much fun, aren't I?\" Otto said, laughing and scratching the back of his head.\n\n\"I would agree,\" a deep, brooding voice said from behind Otto, making both him and Axel freeze up before looking up in fear at the towering figure above them. \"Just WHAT do you think you two are doing on my prized tree I ripped from the ground myself?\"\n\n---------------------------------[u]AnonymousFeline[/u]----------------------------------\n\n\"A-a-ahh--uhh......y-your p-prized t-tree...?\" Otto's voice began trembling as much as his body had been as he caught sight of the enormous beast.\n\nActing purely on adrenaline, Axel's fight-or-flight response caused him to instinctively begin running in a blind attempt to flee the ginormous predator in front of him. He only made it about a foot before the Garchomp snatched him off the ground and dangled him upside down in the air.\n\n\"You're not going [i]anywhere[/i].\"\n\n\"H-h-h-h--\" Otto tried his hardest to defiantly shout at Gash, who held his friend hostage by his large, poofy tail. Unfortunately, with his nerves tense as they were, he was only able to coerce a guttural rasping sound which drew Gash's attention back to him.\n\n\"Ah, yeah, wouldn't want to forget about this one.\" The Garchomp effortlessly scooped up the panicked Dewott into his other arm and carried the two of them at his sides as he casually walked back to show Zigzag his unexpected haul.\n\n\"Well what do ya got there, hmm?\" Zigzag raised a brow and stared inquisitively at the two petrified Pokémon who were left helpless in Gash's grip.\n\n\"I found them defacing the tree I left by our tents.\"\n\n\"Huh, judging by the puny size of 'em, they're either some of the boldest, stupidest numbskulls in this entire crowd, or they must not've known that... that... wait a second...\" Zigzag trailed off and squinted harshly at the pair of delinquent hostages, as if he recognized them but couldn't quite remember where from.\n\n\"...uh, boss...? Are these two...? Did they...?\" Zigzag seemed to realize something, but Gash wasn't quite sure what his combat partner was trying to say.\n\n\"What about them? Do you know them from somewhere?\" Gash visually interrogated each of them, trying to spot whatever it was about them that had caught Zigzag's attention. The Zebstrika remained silent for a moment and his expression became starkly neutral, as if he was hesitating to say something important.\n\n\"Boss, are these the two shrimp that cheated us out of that win in Baram Arena a couple months back?\"\n\nGash's eyes immediately widened at the remembrance of his humiliating televised defeat amid the viewership of tens-of-thousands of watchers several months ago. His eyes stared through Axel for a moment, then through Otto, then back through Axel again.\n\n\"A fire type and a water type, defecating in front of me as a means of personal insult...\" Gash ruminated on the thought silently for a moment as he stared off into the distance. His grip on both the Pokémon began to tighten considerably, making it hard for either of them to breathe. Both of them, however, were far too frightened to verbally protest.\n\n\"...........\"\n\nGash tried very hard to recall if the two Pokémon at his sides had been the ones responsible for his loss back then. Because he'd been knocked unconscious, he couldn't quite remember much of the fight itself, going only by what Zigzag told him had happened afterward. He did, however, remember the barrage of broadcasts all over TV the following nights, droning on endlessly about the stunning upset that shook the world.\n\nAfter nearly 45 seconds of unperturbed silence, Gash spoke.\n\n\"...No, I don't think this is them.\"\n\n\"Phew...\" Otto breathed a heavy sigh of relief, extremely thankful not to be mistaken for the two lookalikes who had surely landed their names on Gash's kill list some months ago.\n\n\"Well, uh...\" Zigzag looked to Gash, then to Axel and Otto, \"what should we do with 'em? I mean, I wouldn't be opposed to giving 'em the ol' one-two with a quick dose of lightning. Then you could tear 'em to pieces and they wouldn't be able to make a sound!\"\n\nGash faintly smiled at Zigzag's suggestion.\n\n\"Ooooor...\" Zigzag continued, \"we could put 'em in the middle of the crowd over there and force 'em to finish what they started doing to your tree in front of [i]everyone[/i]!\"\n\nThe towering Garchomp glanced at the two helpless 'mon, and considered his plan of action.\n\n\"Hmm. 9 times out of 10 I'd much prefer that first idea. But I didn't come all the way out here to get all bloodied up tonight and make a mess. Which means...\"\n\n------------------------------------[u]Thumperump[/u]-------------------------------------\n\n\"No...no, please, no!\" Axel begged, finally gaining the strength to speak as the prospect of getting to finish relieving himself privately was snatched from him before he could finish his business.\n\n\"You should've thought about that before defiling my tree, dumb little Flareon,\" Gash said in his deep, intimidating voice. \"You too, little Dewott. Don't think I'm not going to make you join your stupid friend in his humiliation.\" The evil Garchomp carried both Axel and Otto over to the center of the large field, stepping past many Pokémon who looked over to see what was going on.\n\n\"Is that [i]the[/i] Gash?\"\n\n\"Who's he carrying under his arms?\"\n\n\"Boy, I wouldn't wanna be those two Pokémon right now...\"\n\nAxel and Otto could hear the voices around them comment. They could feel the cold night air breeze past their exposed rears as they were carried through the crowd until Gash stopped where he was, looked around for a moment, and dropped them unceremoniously on the ground.\n\n[i]*ThuTHUNK!*[/i]\n\n\"This looks like a good place,\" Gash said to Axel and Otto, grinning back at Zigzag, who had followed him over to the spot. The two smaller Pokémon looked up to Gash in fear, still feeling full of the business they had yet to unload and fearfully holding their tails down over their rears. With all of the surrounding Pokémons' eyes on him, Gash took the opportunity to announce what exactly would be happening.\n\n\"Ladies and Gentlemon!\" Gash's voice carried effortlessly through the quiet crowd, making Axel and Otto blush a deep red. The nervous Flareon even began to glow a bit brighter, making his presence known to everyone in the area. \n\n\"What's happening?\"\n\n\"I dunno, but let's watch! These lights are getting kinda boring anyway...\" scattered voices said in the crowd.\n\n\"These two Pokémon here were caught, ahem, 'relieving themselves' on my prized tree. The nerve, right?\" Gash explained as the Pokémon around him laughed in response, some of them only laughing because they were scared of what would happen to them if they didn't, but others finding the situation genuinely comical.\n\n\"Boo!!!\" Zigzag shouted, trying to get the crowd against Otto and Axel as they looked to the ground in shame.\n\n\"Anyway, I managed to stop them before they could do any more damage, but it's my understanding that they have plenty more 'business' to do. Ain't that right, pipsqueaks?\" Axel and Otto couldn't bring themselves to respond, and only nodded when Gash asked his rhetorical question. This wasn't good enough for the frustrated Garchomp. \"I [i]said[/i], AIN'T THAT RIGHT, PIPSQUEAKS?!?!\"\n\n\"Yes!\" Axel and Otto responded together before a nervous, deafening fart escaped from Axel's rear, vibrating the grass his bottom was planted against.\n\n[i]*PFFBBBFBFBRT!*[/i]\n\n\"Those closer up might want to take a step back. If you can't tell already, this is gonna get pretty smelly,\" Zigzag advised the Pokémon in the audience, who could be heard groaning and chuckling in reaction to the eruption of gas from Axel's hind end. Both Axel and Otto were too afraid and embarrassed to get into a squatting position to continue their business.\n\nThat was until Gash glared down at both of them and brandished one of his razor-sharp claws.\n\n\"If you two don't finish what you started right here, right now, say goodbye to ever pooping again,\" Gash threatened. While the threat might've been perceived as comical in any other circumstance, both Otto and Axel were thoroughly shaken to their cores upon hearing this. Looking over to Otto, Axel felt his cheeks burning bright red, and he could see that his friend's were the same. \n\n\"We never talk about this day ever again. Agreed?\" Axel proposed, shakily getting into the typical feral pooping pose and raising his tail.\n\n\"Agreed,\" Otto responded also squatting down and raising his tail. Both Pokémon could feel the embarrassment surging through their bodies as they heard disgusted groans and stifled laughs as they revealed their dirty tailholes to the hundreds of Pokémon behind them.\n\n[i]*Whistle*[/i]\n\n\"Shake it, Dewott! Wooo!!!\" Otto heard a female voice behind him tease, making his legs begin to shake nervously in response before his rear took over.\n\n[i]*PFFROOT!*[/i]\n\n---------------------------------[u]AnonymousFeline[/u]----------------------------------\n\nThe nearby Pokémon surrounding Axel and Otto could clearly hear every sound both of their noisy rear ends made as they mentally braced themselves to resume doing their business. With every puff of gas that escaped their hindquarters, a roaring wave of laughter followed shortly after, with scattered comments and jokes audible throughout the crowd.\n\n\"Phew! I'm glad I'm not a Flareon, I don't know how I could put up with the smell of my own gas!\" One of the Pokémon ridiculed.\n\n\"So do all water types have such loud farts, or is it just the Dewott?\" Another of them rhetorically asked, trying to get a rise out of Otto.\n\n\"Nnngh... I don't like this...\" Otto grumbled to himself, almost equally frustrated as he was frightened about his current circumstance. Axel, too scared of saying anything that might rub Gash the wrong way, chose to remain quiet and let the humiliation soak in without rebuke.\n\n[i]*Bllrrrrrrrrrppppppppttt...*[/i]\n\nOtto loudly sighed as a significant wave of gas began to escape his tailhole, causing the Pokémon behind him to react with a simultaneous combination of laughter and disgusted groans and coughs.\n\n\"Oh, lord! He's definitely got more than just gas in there!\" One of the audience members could be heard shouting between coughs.\n\nAxel briefly looked up to scan the audience, and immediately regretted doing so as he saw what must have been hundreds of pairs of eyes staring back at him, eagerly waiting for him to really kick things off. He could tell at a glance that everyone was ready to begin making snide remarks and less-than-clever jokes and puns, all at his expense. Unfortunately for the poor Flareon, the desperate urgency he was feeling had finally begun to outweigh his disdain toward the idea of voiding his bowels center-stage. A lot of the gas that he'd been holding in on his long trek here was finally beginning to push him to his breaking point. His stomach gurgled forebodingly, letting everyone around him know that whatever was about to come out of his twitching anus was going to be [i]massive[/i].\n\n\"Oooohhh... Otto, you need to m-move...\" Axel's voice reflected the intestinal distress he was suffering from. Hearing that combined with the ominous rumbling of his friend's stomach just then, Otto didn't so much as bother questioning the Flareon's vague warning and instead wisely opted to create several additional feet of space between them.\n\n\"N-no... f-farther...\" Axel firmly clutched his belly with a paw, struggling hard to retain the contents that were in his bottom as his friend hastily made his way into the edge of the surrounding circle of Pokémon.\n\n\"Uh oh...\" Zigzag could tell whatever was about to happen was probably something he should also observe from a safe distance. He integrated himself into the circle of onlookers and made sure he stood facing directly opposite to the Flareon's bulging rear. Gash, noticing his companion's precautionary migration into the crowd, figured there was no harm in doing the same, and took several steps into the crowd. At the same time, Axel's bowels finally gave way, and his tail promptly rose up high, exposing to everyone the volcano that was his butthole, ready to erupt.\n\n[i]*...fffffffffffff...*[/i]\n\n[i]*...fffffffffffrrrrrttt...*[/i]\n\n[b]*frrRRRRRRRRAAAAAAPPPPPTTTT*[/b]\n\n[b]*BRRRRRRRRRRRRRMMMMMMMMPPPPPHHTTTT*[/b]\n\nOne after another, a series of tremendous farts began shaking Axel's fiery orange cheeks as the horribly foul, steamy fumes densely clouded the air. Axel clenched his eyes shut as a cold wave of embarrassing shame washed over his body. He knew now that he'd finally relaxed his sphincter enough to let things begin coming out, there would be no way to close it back up again until the immense force inside was expelled from his back end.\n\nMuch to his blind surprise, as Axel continued to produce a cacophonic blast of fart after fart, he wasn't met with the shame-bringing laughter he'd wholly come to expect at this point. Instead, a considerable number of the bystanders who chose to watch, especially those who were up close, had retreated the scene altogether as they began to get a whiff of the deadly gases. Amidst his own deafening farts, he could hear loud, uncovered coughing coming from every direction and various declarations of disgust and dumbfounded surprise.\n\nAfter nearly 20 straight seconds of voiding his belly of gas, Axel felt a soft, yet large mass finally plug the hole.\n\n\"Hngh...\"\n\nSince he'd already started letting nature take its course, Axel decided not to resist the heaviness in his bowels any longer, and chose to get everything out at once. Without taking a breath, Axel continued pushing as his anus pressed tightly around the solid log, forcing it out with ease despite its impressive size.\n\nBefore his anus had a chance to close after delivering the first, a second log jutted out of his cheeks and forced him to keep pushing after taking a quick breath. After about 7 inches, it finally pounded against the dirt. The smell emanating from the center of the circle had caused about half of the Pokémon in attendance to either take several steps back, or to flee the scene altogether to escape the rancid toxicity. After expelling the second log, Axel took a moment to take several deep breaths, at which point Otto reluctantly shuffled his way out of the remaining audience and back to his friend, trying his best to cover his face from the inescapable offensive air.\n\n\"What in the name of Arceus, dude...\" Otto couldn't think of much to say in response to the astonishing show Axel had just put on in front of everyone. \"I... definitely think I prefer when you kept your pooping habits private from me, haha...\"\n\nAxel, taking one last deep breath to recover, seemingly ignored his friend as he let out one last triumphant [i]BRAAAAAP[/i] to signify that his bowels were finally empty.\n\n\"Haaaahhhh...\" Axel sighed in relief, and turned back to examine the solid leftovers of his handiwork. \"H-heh, guess it wasn't such an exaggeration when I said I felt like I was carrying a bowling ball or two in me...\"\n\n\"You can say that again...\" Otto rolled his eyes, feeling a strange twinge of jealousy at the spectacle Axel had just put on, desiring to somehow one-up it.\n\n\"Well...\" Otto shrugged to the crowd, who'd largely fell silent in respite of the extensive coughing they'd just gotten through while Axel answered nature's call. \"Much to your disappointment, I'm sure, I don't think I can quite compete with that...\" The Dewott half-teased his friend, causing some of the crowd, including Gash and Zigzag, to chuckle aloud.\n\n\"Heh, seriously. Next time you gotta go like that Axel, be a bit more clear, 'cause if that's what you're holding back when you say you need to use the bathroom, I at least wanna minimize the trauma you inflict to my nose, not to mention to whatever toilet is unfortunate enough to cross your path!\"\n\nThe crowd's laughter grew, mirroring that as it'd been earlier. With the audience evidently on his side, Otto began to assume his squatting position again, figuring now was as good a time as ever to get [i]his[/i] part of the show over with.\n\n\"And now, ladies and gentlemons...! The moment you've all been waiting for...!\" Otto grazed a paw through the air, as if he were a magician fixing to perform an impressive trick. \"Watch, as the shrimpy Dewott you see before you, takes a disproportionately large dump before your very eyes!\" A couple sarcastic whistles could be heard from the crowd, playing along with Otto's silly charade. A few others rolled their eyes at the ridiculousness of what they were about to witness, and the hilarity with which Otto played it all off.\n\n\"Without further ado, then...!\" Otto began to loudly grunt as his tailhole started flexing open and shut.\n\n[i]*Fbbbblllrrrrpppttt...*[/i]\n\nOtto stiffened up for a moment, blushing at the unexpectedly loud and wet bout of flatulence. \"Heheheh, o-oops...!\"\n\nTrying his best to maintain control over the situation, the Dewott recomposed himself and felt things begin to move south. Though he'd released most of his gas at earlier points during the night, he still had a considerable amount of poop pressing against his tailhole. It only took a couple of seconds before it widened as the tip of a log, both darker and firmer than Axel's, spread it open. He continued to grunt as it made its way out, crackling with short spurts of gas coming out at the same time. It finally hit the ground at about 5 inches in length, whereby another immediately took its place, forcing Otto's rear back open. He wasted no time in passing the second log, which was comparatively similar to the first.\n\n\"Hoooohh... I don't know about the rest of you, but I for one am [i]really[/i] enjoying this...!\" Otto tried to hide the embarrassment that was clearly written on his face with a confident facade and some witty one-liners. The audience's reaction was a mixture of laughter--both at him, and with him--and more jokes centered around the smell, and Otto's focused facial expression as he relieved himself.\n\n\"He really takes his pooping seriously!\" Zigzag jested, causing a couple of the Pokémon close to him to cackle with laughter.\n\n\"Yeah! He seems really competitive about it, too!\" Another onlooker exclaimed, laughing as he said so.\n\n\"Yeah, yeah... ggh... just wait til ya see--[i]frrt[/i]--my poker face at the casino...\" Axel couldn't help but giggle at his friend's jokes, passively envying his gift of swaying large crowds, even those as against him as this one had been.\n\n\"With that kind of wind power, can your butt play instruments too, Slick!?\" A voice toward the back of the crowd shouted.\n\n\"Oh, pfft, don't g-get ahead of yourself...! That w-was my next act!\" A loud thud sounded as Otto had finished releasing his 6th log in front of the crowd. \"Ah... I think I've got one more in me... Can I get a drumroll for this one...!?\"\n\nSome of the Pokémon in the crowd stomped their hands, feet, and paws against the ground to produce a... somewhat distinguishable drumroll as Otto exaggeratively grunted. His tailhole opened wide and a heavy, light-colored log slid out much faster than the others had, concluding his final release of the night.\n\n\"Ahah... Maybe I should go into show business after this, huh, Axel...?\"\n\nAxel rolled his eyes and laughed, feeling much better now that all the attention was on his friend, who actually seemed to manage it quite well.\n\nAfter both of them had finished, Gash walked out from the crowd with Zigzag peeking behind him.\n\n\"Well, I wasn't sure what to expect when I had you two finish doing your thing in front of everyone... but I definitely wasn't expecting that.\"\n\nOtto took the remark as a compliment, and grinned to show his satisfaction with the display.\n\n\"Anyway, I must admit, the two of you had me mildly amused throughout that ordeal, so instead of chopping you both up and using you as hunting bait, I'll go ahead and let you go. This time.\"\n\nAxel nervously laughed, unsure of what to make of that final remark. Otto stood up straight and cleared his throat to address the crowd one final time.\n\n\"Well, everyone, it's been swell being here with you tonight, but unfortunately, my sidekick and I must go! I've built up quite the appetite performing that show for you all, and I'm sure Axel here has, too. So with that, I bid you farewell, and a good night to all!\"\n\nAxel lightly shoved Otto and giggled, slightly embarrassed by his friend's ridiculous ceremonious speech. He followed Otto as the two began to make their way back to their tent for the night, certain to have plenty to talk about on the way back home in the morning.\n------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------", "writing_bbcode_parsed": "------------------------------------Thumperump-------------------------------------

"C'mon, Axel, we've gotta get going if we wanna make it in time!" Otto the Dewott shouted from the other room, gathering his things in a large camping backpack.

"Coming!" Axel said from his bedroom with a little annoyance in his voice. He had gotten used to living with Otto for the past two years, but there were times that the Dewott could be a bit of a control freak. Axel was more on the quiet side, in great contrast to his fiery appearance. He was, however, still very adventurous and was looking forward to the trip he and Otto were taking together. The Flareon carried his bag into the living room, but not before walking by the kitchen and seeing a mountain of dirty dishes in the sink. "Otto, I thought you said you'd do the dishes this time..."

"Oh, those!" Otto said, watching Axel come into the room with his backpack. "Sorry, I don't think we'll have any time. We've kinda gotta get going."

"Ugh, this is the last time I let you cook one of your 'Friday Feasts'. We always have way too much food and you always leave me to do the dishes." Axel complained, glaring at the Dewott. "I can barely walk because of how much I ate." Axel was not only thinking about the enormous meal he had just consumed the night before, but also the fact that he was feeling a little backed up...down there. He tried doing his business the day before, but found that he was very constipated and could only push out minuscule amounts of gas.

"Never in my life have I heard a 'mon complain about too much food," Otto said, trying to be humorous about the situation. Looking over to the sink, the Dewott also thought about how much heavier he felt with all that food inside of him. Not only this, but Otto had also been feeling a little constipated over the past couple days. In fact, this was one of Otto's main motivators for making such a large meal the night before; he wanted to get his internal plumbing operating again.

"We can leave the dishes for when we get back; we'll only be gone for a day or so. Enough about dishes, though, we've gotta leave now so we can find a good spot to camp! Pokémon from all over are gonna be camping up there tonight to see the northern lights!"

Axel and Otto walked out their front door with their bags and camping supplies on their backs. Axel noticed that other Pokémon living in their village were walking on a trail leading north. "Remind me where this place is again?" Axel asked Otto as they went in the direction of the north trail.

"We're gonna be camping in the fields up by Pomace Mountain," Otto replied confidently, obviously having done his research.

"Pomace mountain?! That's a nine hour walk!" Axel exclaimed.

"Yep! Nine hours of walking with my best bud sounded pretty good to me. Unless that's a little too strenuous for you..." Otto said, trying to get a rise out of Axel.

"Strenuous? Pffft, this won't be a problem," Axel said, getting cocky and walking a little faster to challenge the Dewott next to him.

"That's what I thought," Otto said, continuing to walk with his fiery friend as they took the first steps on their long and arduous journey. At that time, both Pokémon were trying to hide it from each other, but nature was beginning to take its course with the massive meal they had eaten the night before. Whether they liked it or not, they were both going to need to take care of business at some point in the near future.

---------------------------------AnonymousFeline----------------------------------

Only about 15 minutes had passed after they'd left their village before Otto's stomach made an ominously foreshadowing noise.

*GrrOOOooaNnn...*

Otto slowed his pace and looked to Axel, a tad flustered, knowing the Flareon must have heard the noise as well.

"Sorry for that, heh..." The Dewott smiled nervously and tried to play the noise off.

"...? Sorry for what?"

Evidently, Axel had been too pre-occupied taking in the sights and sounds of nature surrounding the two of them to pay the noise any mind.

"Oh! Uh, n-nothing..."

Axel curiously raised a brow, expecting Otto to divulge what exactly it was he'd just apologized for. Otto, hoping Axel would brush it off and continue walking, stared back at Axel. Within seconds, they'd come to something of an awkward standstill, both unsure of how to transition the conversation along. After a moment, though, something in Otto's mind clicked, finally giving him an out.

"Uuuummm, I was just... uh, apologizing for not doing the dishes earlier...! I know you're really meticulous about household chores and stuff. I just feel kind of bad about always leaving them for you to do. So, uh, yeah, sorry...(?)" Otto's apology toward the end sounded more like a question than a statement, but it had apparently been enough to convince his friend.

"Oh! I mean, yeah, it can get kind of annoying, but thanks for at least acknowledging it this time." Axel gave a friendly smile and Otto breathed a quiet sigh of relief as they continued walking.

Still... Otto thought to himself, quickly glancing back at Axel, whose attention had all but dissipated back into the world around him, My stomach doesn't feel very good... Should I run back to the house to take a quick bathroom break? Ugh, but what would Axel do if I left him alone here? Maybe I'll just wait until...

Otto's train of thought seceded as his nose suddenly picked up a less-than-fragrant odor as he walked.

"Phew! What's that smell?" The Dewott looked over to Axel, who he expected would laugh and joke along with him about how a Stunky must be up ahead of them or something, but as his eyes met Axel's, the Flareon's expression was more that of a deer that had just been caught in a pair of headlights.

"...heh..." The Flareon anxiously smiled. The resolute nature of his timid reaction told Otto everything he needed to know.

"Yuck! That was you!?" Otto jolted forward a couple feet until the air around him was free of the awful stench that had just assaulted his nostrils.

A wave of paralyzing embarrassment washed over Axel as he clenched his eyes shut for a moment, unable to vocalize any sort of response. Although Otto had long-since gotten comfortable with cutting loose around Axel, who was surprisingly nonchalant about it, this had been the first time the roles had been reversed.

After a moment, Otto walked back to Axel's side, who had a troubled look on his face, clearly not used to doing such private things in front of others.

"...sorry." Axel looked at his friend, who knew not to overplay his dramatic reaction. "I guess since I'm a Flareon now, certain things about me have changed that I'm still getting used to..."

Otto suddenly remembered that indeed, it had only been a few days since his pal's evolution. It made sense to him that as a fire-type, Axel's 'output' as a result would probably be a lot warmer, and a lot smellier...

"Uhh, it's all right, haha." Otto thought of what else to say. "It's not that I mind or anything, it's just... I wasn't expecting that, I guess."

"Yeah, heh... I was hoping you wouldn't notice... anyway, I won't do it again. I just needed to do that while there was nobody else around." Axel slowly began picking his pace back up, and so Otto did the same.

Yet little did Axel know, the substantial portions of food from last night's feast were about to take their toll.

------------------------------------Thumperump-------------------------------------

The long, long walk continued as the day progressed. It had been about four hours since the two Pokémon had set out on their journey. Both Otto and Axel had been dealing with their abdominal distress since they had started, and while it didn't feel like anything solid had been moving, there certainly was a good bit of gas being produced.

*PFFFFRT!*

"Phew, that doesn't smell too good," joked Otto, who had just passed gas for what must've been the fourth or fifth time that day. He was walking behind Axel, letting his friend take the lead while he stunk up the air behind him.

"Are you ever gonna run out?" Axel said, joking back but also sounding somewhat irritated. "Every time you let one rip it feels like the breeze carries it right over to me!"

"I'm telling you, Axel, it's your food! I'm a gas machine thanks to you," Otto said, "I can't believe you've only squeaked one out this whole time."

"Y-Yeah, heheh..." Axel laughed nervously. In reality, the Flareon had been holding back his gas so as to avoid the harsh embarrassment he had felt earlier. Unfortunately for Axel, holding it in wasn't going to work forever, and the gas in his rectum would soon need an escape. Instinctively lifting his tail and slowing his pace, Axel tried to break wind silently by pushing lightly.

*Fssssssssfp...*

*PFPPPPRT!*

"Aw, come on, Axel! I'm walking right behind you!" Otto said, stopping and coughing into his arm, trying to fan away the smell.

"S-Sorry, I tried to do it quietly..." Axel offered, trying to rectify the situation.

"Aw, you scarred my eyes too, dude! I saw everything when your tail went up!" Otto complained, unable to see that Axel was now blushing under his fur.

"Y...You saw...under my tail?" Axel asked shakily to confirm his fears.

"Yeah, it was gnarly! Don't you ever wipe back there?" Otto said as he got back up, half laughing and half recovering from the toxic gas he had inhaled.

"Why were you looking back there?!" Axel said in embarrassment, feeling humiliated that he had been exposed to his friend.

"Hey, you're the one who lifted his tail up high in the sky just to fart! You should've remembered that your friend was walking right behind you!" Otto said.

"Wh-Whatever, just...just don't go around telling other 'mons about this," Axel said, worried he'd get made fun of for something like this.

"Relax, Ax, this is just between your cheeks and me, okay?" Otto teased, laughing as he continued to walk with his friend, to the side of him this time.

The day went on and a couple more hours had passed. At the rate they were going, Axel and Otto only had 2-3 more hours before they made it to the campsite. Both Pokémon had been stinking up the air every now and then to release tension. Axel was feeling slightly better about passing gas in front of Otto, but was still very nervous and embarrassed about doing so. With how long it had been since their big meal, it was only a matter of time before the farts turned into something...more solid. Though it wasn't on the front of either of their minds, both Otto and Axel felt a little build-up in their lower intestines, and it wasn't gas this time. Their conversation at that point in time had shifted over to the campsite.

"So...is this a nice campsite we'll be going to?" Axel asked, hoping there would be things like tables and fire pits out for campers to use.

"Campsite? Nuh-uh, we're heading out to a popular camping spot, but there isn't anything out there except for sweet mother nature," Otto explained.

"Oh. So no...bathrooms out there?" Axel asked, trying to get an idea of what his immediate future held for him.

"Everything around you is gonna be a bathroom," Otto continued to explain.

"What do you mean?" Axel said, not catching on.

"You're gonna have to do your business out in the grass or something, that's what I mean," Otto said, seeing Axel begin to get nervous as his eyes darted back and forth, thinking about what this would mean for his situation.

---------------------------------AnonymousFeline----------------------------------

Axel thought about the idea of relieving himself in potential view of multiple onlookers, and felt a sort of instinctual fear at the idea of doing so. He shuddered and reassured himself that he'd find some way to take care of any bathroom necessities without anyone's notice.

Actually... He considered his options, what if I ask Otto for us to stop off to the side for a minute to do that? It won't really make a difference once we get there anyway, will it? Axel stopped walking for a moment.

"Hey, uh, O-Otto...?" The Flareon's voice was shaky.

Otto turned to face Axel, who'd planted his rear against the ground as he felt an unusually strong urge push south. "Are you okay? Why'd you stop walking?"

"Hold o-on..." The two remained stationary as Axel's stomach began to rumble, indicating things were beginning to really build up. "Do you think we could step off to the side for a few minutes? I don't feel good..."

Otto, failing to put two-and-two together, didn't quite understand the notion behind Axel's request. "Oh, do you need to throw up? I actually brought a couple of barf bags just to be safe, let me get one out for yo--"

*Fffffff....bbbBRRRRRMPPPFFF*

Just then, an awfully loud cloud of hot gas blew out from underneath Axel's tail where he sat, starting as a loud hiss, and gradually turning into a bassy blast.

Axel would have turned his head away from Otto in shame, but before he even had time to do so, he felt a very heavy block of waste nearly part his tailhole open as he sat.

Otto was initially surprised by the loud blast, and stared in awe for a split second. He began to laugh until the smell suddenly hit him.

"Hehehe--GEEZ!!!! PHEW! That REEKS, Axel!!!" The Flareon, feeling the sudden heaviness in his rectum only intensify, forced himself into a squatting position where he was, still in the center of the smoggy cloud of gas, looking back at Otto in fearful humiliation.

"I-I'm sorry, O-Otto...! I can't h-hold it any longer..."

*Brrrrt...*

As another warm, low-pitched fart preluded a dense brick of waste beginning to force the Flareon's anus to bulge outward, something unexpected happened. At first, rustling in the nearby brush off to the side of the trail. Then, for a moment, silence. Both Axel and Otto stared quietly, stopping what they were doing to transfix on whatever had caused the movement.

*SHHHHSHHSHHHSHHSHHHSHHH*

Almost in disbelief at what they were seeing, it had appeared that an entire oak tree about 50 feet behind them was being violently shaken, the leaves and branches creating a deafening sound that had scared some Pidgey, Starly, and Swellow out of nearby nests.

Within seconds, the tree started to bend at an angle, before it finally began to come roaring down. Otto and Axel both braced their bodies for the impending crash as the tree landed, causing Axel to pucker his tailhole tightly shut in the process.

*CRRRRRAAAAAAASHHHHHHHHHH*

It felt like a small earthquake had taken place as the immense piece of lumber collided with the grass and dirt. The ground shook for about a second before a heavy cloud of dust engulfed the area where the tree had fallen. Otto desperately wanted to ask Axel if he'd just seen what he just saw, but couldn't find himself able to muster up the ability to speak. Axel would have taken off running, but found his body nearly paralyzed with shock.

After a moment of stunned silence, the dust began to clear. Axel's and Otto's eyes were completely focused behind them. Where there was once a trail, now lay the thick trunk of a large, slain oak tree, with many deep scratch marks carved across the lower half.

Before Otto or Axel could find themselves able to speak again, some more rustling came from the brush next to where the tree had originally been. The Dewott and Flareon could feel their fight-or-flight responses practically screaming at them, but they were unable to look away.

Then, an abnormally tall dull blue figure began to reveal itself from the brush, followed by a more regular, yet still large, quadruped.

"...is that...?" Otto, being a fan of Poké-arena fights, immediately recognized the two figures. "G-Gash a-and... Zigz-zag...?"

The two large beasts hadn't taken notice of Axel or Otto yet. They began to speak, while Otto and Axel listened-in intently.

"There. Firewood." Gash passively remarked to Zigzag.

"Well, dang. I stand corrected, then. I didn't think you could take down a tree that size, not to mention with such ferocity." The Zebstrika was visibly impressed, yet spoke casually, as though this was nothing new to him. "But, are you really going to carry that thing down to the camping spot? We're still a couple hours away, y'know..."

"You worry too much, Zigzag." The giant Garchomp, despite hardly being half the size of the tree he'd just downed, proceeded to hoist the trunk from its midpoint over a shoulder, and began taking the trail forward. "Let's go."

"Heh. All right, boss." Zigzag followed behind. As the two turned to face north, they noticed Axel and Otto both staring in petrified awe at what they'd just been witness to.

"Hmmph." Gash scoffed at the small would-be prey as he continued down the trail carrying the oak tree while Zigzag trotted eagerly behind.

"..............." Otto was at a loss for words.

"...what just happened...?" Axel began to shake his head, as if snapping back to reality.

"L-let's just, wait here a couple minutes for them to get a good lead in front of us." Otto suggested shakily, still stunned. "You can even take care of your business now, Axel...!"

The Flareon's eyes lit up as he realized it was an opportune time to do so.

"W-wait..." He lightly blushed, feeling silly about the inconvenient timing of his bodily urges. "I, uh, the urge kinda went away after all that..." The Flareon grinned sheepishly. "That kinda shook me up..."

Otto looked unamused as he rolled his eyes and began slowly following the trail again, with Axel by his side. "Well, that's good I guess, 'cause it's going to get dark soon, so we need to make haste!"

The two friends spent the next 2 hours hiking up the trail, as they finally neared their destination point.

------------------------------------Thumperump-------------------------------------

"Is that Pomace mountain up there?" Axel asked Otto, hoping they were reaching the end of their long trek. Both the Dewott and the Flareon were exhausted from all the walking, and carrying their big camping backpacks on their shoulders wasn't making the hike any easier.

"Yep, I'm pretty sure it is," Otto replied, satisfied he was able to navigate his way to his destination without many detours. "And it's starting to get a little darker. This is gonna be really pretty, huh?"

"I hope so," Axel said, "after all that walking, I could use a nice reward." As the Flareon thought about how nice it was going to feel to sit down and look up at the show nature was going to put on for him, he had suddenly remembered what else nature had planned for him that night. "Hnnngh..." grunted Axel quietly as he walked, feeling his bowels twinge a bit. Since the shock he experienced a couple hours ago, Axel's need to relieve himself had not been very noticeable. As time went on, however, the Flareon could feel his waste piling up in his lower half.

"You doing alright over there, Ax?" Otto asked, noticing that his friend had grunted and was walking a little more carefully.

"Yeah, d-doing just fine," Axel responded, trying to hide from Otto how badly he needed to go. He wasn't close to exploding, but the feeling was getting almost impossible to ignore. "You said...you said they didn't have any bathrooms here, right?"

"Bathrooms? Not that I know of, no," Otto said, soon realizing that this fact would mean trouble for him as well. The blue otter could feel the weight in his lower abdomen as he continued to press forward with Axel. "You can see if they added facilities here, though. We should get a good view of the campground from up there," Otto explained, pointing about fifty yards ahead on the trail where it appeared to start going downhill. Both Pokémon made it to where they could get a full view of the grassy fields below the giant mountain in front of them.

"Woah..." Axel said, in absolute awe of the vastness of the area. Looking down, the Flareon could see what looked like more than two hundred Pokémon of all shapes and sizes setting up tents and blankets to prepare for the northern lights. "Look at how many 'mons came here, Otto!"

"Yeah, it's a pretty popular event," Otto explained, trying to find a place that looked open enough to set up their tent. "Down there looks like a pretty good place to set up!" Otto and Axel walked down the path leading to the field, passing other Pokémon who were setting up their tents along the way. "Looks kinda crowded. Hope our spot doesn't go away!" Otto commented, trying to keep his mind off of his growing urges as he scanned the area.

Axel, meanwhile, was starting to get very nervous about where he would eventually need to drop his load off. His whole life, he had been very private about his bowel movements, mostly thanks to some embarrassing incidents in his youth as an Eevee. For him, this was going to be the first time in a long time that he did his duty outside, and he was dreading it heavily. As he and Otto continued to walk through the field, they both saw a spot that looked like it would work for setting up their tent. "Is that the spot?"

"Yep!" Otto said, running over and throwing his bag down, claiming the area. "This is gonna work great!" While the area was big enough for them to set up their tent, Axel noticed that it was in very close proximity to a few other groups. Hoping there wouldn't be any disputes with the other Pokémon, Axel threw his bag down and got to work helping Otto set up. Otto retrieved all the tent supplies he needed from his bag, but took a moment to himself after doing so.

"Otto, are you alright?" Axel asked, seeing that the otter was squatting slightly with a distressed look on his face.

"Yeah, just...gimme a sec..." Otto said, grunting to himself before Axel could hear air escaping from the otter's rear end.

*Pfssssssss...*

"Hahhh...that feels better," Otto said, sighing in relief as he grinned at Axel. "I wouldn't step over here if I were you, haha!"

"Gross! You're still gassy?" Axel said, watching Otto organize the tent materials.

"Oh, and you haven't let one rip at all today, Mr. Perfect?" Otto joked, making Axel blush and feel embarrassed. Axel had never put together a tent before, so he sat and watched intently as Otto assembled the structure for their temporary sleeping situation. "Alright, Ax, I need your help for this part. Hold this end of the tarp and help me pull it tight over the structure."

"Okay," Axel said, taking the piece of tarp in his maw and pulling it over with Otto. The two campers tried their best to keep the tarp tight, but were having trouble with how much strength it took to do so.

"Can you reach the hook? You've gotta attach it to the hook in the grou--"

"I KNOW ABOUT THE HOOK! You've told me five times already about the stupid hook!" Axel yelled in an outburst, frustrated by how long the process was taking, not to mention the growing pain and pressure in his rear. The Flareon's tantrum garnered the attention of one of the nearby groups, causing a female Fennekin to come over with a female Buizel to see what all the ruckus was about.

"Jeez, I'm sorry," Otto replied, trying to help his friend calm down. "Here, let's give it one more try. Pull it extra tight and try to hook it in." Without a response, Axel bit tighter and tried again, pulling with all his might as he got closer and closer to hooking in the tarp. As he was getting closer to reaching his goal, however, he could feel some gas bubbles approaching his rear exit. His tail was lifted up high thanks to all the strength he was exerting, so both of the females who approached him from behind to offer their help were getting quite the view of the struggling Flareon.

"Excuse me, do you--" the sweet Fennekin started to say, only to be cut off by the Flareon in front of her. And it wasn't something he said, rather something that his rear had to say.

*FFRRPFFFBRTT!*

The Fennekin and the Buizel were immediately hit by a wave of foul air as they watched the gas sputter from Axel's exposed tailhole. They both stood there in absolute shock, very offended by what they were smelling and very embarrassed for the Flareon who had revealed quite a bit about himself to them.

---------------------------------AnonymousFeline----------------------------------

Axel had heard the Fennekin begin to speak just before his outburst, and his heart sank at the thought that they might be just behind him as he let loose. Though he felt almost paralyzed by the thought, he managed to turn around to confirm his worst suspicions. Not one, but two girls were there standing mere inches behind him!

"...ummmm..." The Buizel stared at Axel, then to her friend, then back to Axel again.

"Uh--I, um, I mean, I didn't, uhh--" The Flareon wanted to apologize and explain that the timing of what had just happened wasn't intentional, but the extent to which he found himself able to actually speak in the moment was just too incomprehensible for them to understand.

"H-hey, it's all right," the Fennekin recognized Axel's stumbling mannerisms and knew it just have just been a matter of bad timing, "I can tell you didn't mean for that to happen...!"

"N-no! I mean, uh, y-yeah! It wasn't..." Axel continued to verbally trip over himself trying to explain what had been going on as they arrived, but his attempt to do so only further confused the two girls.

"Soooo... you did mean to do that, then?" The Buizel spoke up; her tone of voice carried a twinge of both annoyance and genuine confusion, which only served to intimidate Axel even more.

"NO!" He shouted a bit louder than he meant to, surprising both the girls and Otto, who had just gone back to fidgeting with the hook himself.

"Then why'd you--" The Buizel's voice trailed off as she saw Axel's fur beginning to dimly glow. Otto immediately took notice of this as well, and knew from the many arena fights he'd seen that some fire types would light up similarly before their bodies discharged an explosive flurry of fire from all directions, igniting everything in a nearby radius.

"Whoa whoa whoa, calm down, Axel...!" Otto firmly placed a hand on Axel's nape, who at this point was covering his face and could feel tears welling up in his eyes. The Dewott stroked his friend's back for a moment as his fur gradually began to fade back to its original color.

"Hey, uh, look," Otto began to explain to the girls, a bit better at articulating his thoughts in tense situations, "my friend didn't mean to blast you two like that, you guys just walked up at a bad time, and--"

"LOOK!" The Buizel, completely disregarding Otto's explanation, jerked her friend's front paw as she pointed to the sky. A neon green light glimmered faintly across the upper horizon of the sky, signaling that it wouldn't be too much longer until the lights were in full view for everyone to admire. "Quick, let's go get our blankets ready!" The Buizel dragged the Fennekin back to their spot, who reluctantly followed despite appearing as though she still had something to say.

"Axel, look at that!" Otto's eyed gleamed in awe at the ray of light, cast between starry constellations and a void-black sky. Axel looked up at the iridescent glowing streak and felt his nerves begin to calm. But despite his nerves beginning to settle back down, one thing that seemed to do anything but settle was his stomach, which began to bubble and rumble foretellingly.

"Ooh... H-hey, Otto...?" Axel gently tugged at the Dewott's sash-like fur, but his friend was too immersed by the night sky to notice. That is, until his own stomach quietly churned, reigniting a stressful urge he'd, until now, actually almost managed to forget about.

------------------------------------Thumperump-------------------------------------

"Let me guess..." Otto began, having a pretty good guess about what Axel was going to ask him, "you need a bathroom?"

"...y-yeah..." Axel replied with his cheeks burning redder than his fur. "I've really gotta go now..."

"Well, it's funny you say that," Otto said, blushing a little as his voice had gotten a bit more shaky, "because I've really gotta go too..." The Dewott's stomach rumbled again after he said this, only this time it was followed by a brief but audible puff of air from his blue, furry rear end.

*PFFFRT!*

"I guess we'll get to look for a good place to do our business together, then," Axel suggested, seeing as they both had an incredible urge to defecate.

"Well, yeah..." Otto started, looking around and seeing that all the Pokémon were preparing to look up at the sky. "I just didn't wanna miss the light show! You think you can wait a little bit longer?"

"I dunno..." Axel said, trying to hide the fact that he truly was desperate to drop his load. His pink tailhole was bulging in and out as he tried to contain all of the waste behind it. "Maybe it'd be a good idea to do our business while every 'mon here is looking up at the sky. That way, there's almost no way anything embarrassing can happen!"

"Aw, come on! We hiked nine hours to get all they way up here," Otto said, worried that the long journey they took would be for nothing. The Dewott, however, felt another push at his exit signifying his serious urgency. Holding his tail down firmly over his rear, Otto reconsidered his options. "On second thought...I don't wanna have to worry about finding a place to go when everyone else is done looking up at the sky. And it's getting harder to hold in..."

"It'll be fast, c'mon!" Axel urged his friend, feeling that his rectum was full and couldn't hold his load in much longer. The Flareon was hopping from paw to paw at this point, looking around frantically for an area that might work in the open, grassy field.

"Do you see anywhere that'd work around here?" Otto said, nervously looking around like Axel was doing. The otter thought he would be able to do his thing without worrying about other 'mons watching, but now that he was out in the open and desperate, he was having a lot more trouble with the prospect of another Pokémon seeing him unload.

"No, there are tents and 'mons everywhere around here!" Axel complained, trying to see if there were any trees nearby. "The closest trees look like they're a mile or two away! There's no way I'll be able to make it that far..."

"Relax, relax, we'll be alright," Otto advised, trying to think his way out of the situation. "It's already pretty dark out, so you won't have to worry about being the center of attention or anything. We can probably just go behind a nearby tent and nobody would know, simple as that!" Otto was starting to get very nervous himself, thanks to Axel's anxiousness and the lack of private places to squat down and go number two. Just as he thought things couldn't get worse, he looked over to Axel and saw that the Flareon was beginning to glow lightly again.

"Uh...Axel?"

"Yeah?" Axel replied, not aware yet that his glowing fur was becoming very visible.

"If we're trying to remain inconspicuous, you might wanna turn your fur off..." Otto instructed, noticing now that some other nearby Pokémons' attention was drawn to Axel's glowing fur.

"Hey, Flareon, dim it down!" a Kangaskhan said, "we're trying to get a good view of the lights!"

Unfamiliar with how his new Flareon body worked, Axel was completely stuck in his attention-drawing state, unable to stop his obvious glowing. "I don't know what to do, Otto!" Axel whined, keeping his tail firmly over his rear. "It's getting worse, I'm gonna end up going any minute here..."

---------------------------------AnonymousFeline----------------------------------

"Well you'd better figure out how to stop it soon, or else everyone's eyes are going to be on us!" Otto's impatience began to get the better of him. He began hopping from foot-to-foot in desperation.

"I can't help it...! My body does that when it's under pressure, I think...! And believe me, it's under a lot of pressure right now...!" As Axel struggled to speak, he couldn't help but lift his tail and let out a small, yet deceptively odorous fart.

*Brapp!*

Just as Otto was about to concede to his growing urge, he got an idea.

"That's it!" He exclaimed in a sort of whisper-shout to Axel, whose luminescent glow had only gotten brighter. "I can't believe I didn't think of it before, but while those two girls were over here, I managed to connect the hook and got the tent set up; we can just go in there!"

"What!? Are you crazy!?" Axel looked revolted at the idea of relieving himself in the same spot he'd have to sleep for the night. "We're going to sleep in there, though! That was the whole point of setting the tent up, right???"

"I mean..." Otto looked up at the sky once more, then back to his surroundings, seeing everyone's attention was still on the spectacle above. He spoke softly amid all the chatter surrounding them. "What about this: we get a couple blankets out from the tent, then go inside and, uh, go as quietly as possible. Then we can close the tent behind us to keep the smell from escaping, and sleep outside on the blankets! It seems like a small price to pay for privacy if you ask me!"

Axel was surprised by Otto's clever spur-of-the-moment solution, and took a moment to consider it. "W-Well..." His stomach began to gurgle as a second wave of heavy pressure bogged south toward his rear, nearly causing it to open and forcing him to start pushing where he was standing. "I-I don't think I'll be able to go v-very quietly, b-but I don't have much of a choice anymore... I f-feel like a loaded cannon about to--frrrt--go off... nnnh..."

The two of them hastily entered the tent one after the other, now feeling concealed and hidden from the rest of the outside world, even though all that separated them was technically only a sheet of cloth and a couple of structural bits and pieces.

"Uhh, turn around, p-please... Y-You know I'm bathroom shy..." Axel blushed and struggled to get his words out as he felt his rectum being pushed out in every direction at once. He began to assume a squatting position toward one corner of the tent, facing the slanted wall of sheet.

*Ffffff...ffsshhhhrrrRRRTTT*

The Flareon's ears perked up as he heard what was at first a quiet hiss in the other corner of the tent turn into an alarmingly wet expulsion of gas. "What happened to going quietly?" Axel half-teased, hoping everyone outside was too distracted by the lights and chatter going on around them to notice his friend's flatulence. Though, with Otto wasting no time answering nature's call, Axel decided it was time for him to do the same.

*fffffffffFFFFFFfff...*

Contrary to Otto's, Axel's fart was much softer, and, like his others had been, was very, very warm.

"Axel!" Otto quietly exclaimed, covering his nose and wafting the air around him away, consumed by the smell and confined by the enclosure of the sheets. "Are you trying to asphyxiate me or something!?"

"Sorry...! This might not be the smartest idea after all..." Axel smiled embarrassingly to himself. "If it's that h-hard to handle though, m-maybe you should step outside until I f-finish..." He half-joked as he said this, knowing he was far from done gassing the small enclosure up.

"As if!" Otto tried to put on a brave face and did his best to ignore the assaulting stench, and proceeded to release another of his own.

*Frrrpppprrrrttt!*

Axel snickered at the sound coming from the other end of the tent. Though Otto's gas certainly had its own distinct smell, which was far from pleasant, it wasn't nearly as hard to bear as his own stinky heatwaves.

Axel's quiet laughter turned to soft grunting as he felt his tailhole beginning to crown open. He released another silent cloud of hot gas as his anus widened. Suddenly though, and without warning, he clenched it tightly shut as he saw the silhouette of a large figure standing tall directly on the other side of the sheet outside.

A familiar voice spoke in a frustrated tone. "I thought I told you to DIM IT DOWN, Flareon! NOT to turn your tent into a giant LANTERN!"

Before either Otto or Axel could react, the walls around the two were heaved up and thrown to the side several feet away by an angry, looming Kangaskhan. Her stern, loud voice and the aggressive nature with which she ripped the tent from its bindings to the ground attracted the stares of many nearby observers.

"...!" Without the sheet to confine the smell, the awful combined stench of the two Pokémons' pre-defecation gases immediately began to permeate across the area, and the Kangaskhan was the first to be hit by the wretched scent.

------------------------------------Thumperump-------------------------------------

"Aw, what's that smell?!" a nearby Arcanine complained, fanning his paw at his muzzle as he coughed and gagged.

"It came from where Kanga is!" one of the Kangaskhan's friends said, pointing over to where Axel and Dewott were squatting. "It was probably those two 'mons under the tent she just uplifted!" With the attention of a few dozen Pokémon already on them, both Axel and Otto were starting to feel the sting of embarrassment as they remained frozen in their squatting positions.

"What's going on here?!" the giant Kangaskhan asked in a loud, booming voice, drawing even more attention to the event. She looked down and saw that both the Flareon and the Dewott were squatting. Coupled with the awful smell around them, she put two and two together and confronted them. "Were you two...pooping?! In your tent?!" The loud and embarrassing accusation cut through the silence like butter, garnering laughter from the audience and making Otto and Axel hang their heads in shame. Trying to avoid any ridicule from the surrounding Pokémon, Otto was quick to deny her accusation.

"What?! Of course not! We were just..." Otto argued, trying to quickly think of an excuse to get him out of the situation. "Just doing our nightly squat exercises! Right, Ax?" Otto smiled nervously and bumped the Flareon on the shoulder before doing a couple squats to demonstrate. "One, two, one, two, one--" *FBBRT!* Otto was cut off by a short and loud brap from his rear, causing him to stand up straight with a shocked look on his face. More laughter began filling the air as the nearby Pokémon continued to watch.

"Heheh...that'll happen sometimes if you're not careful!"

"Squats? That's the best you could come up with?" the unamused Kangaskhan asked the nervous pair.

Now more scared than he had been in a while, Axel was starting to sink back into a squat, lifting his tail slightly as he whined and looked down at the ground in shame. His first log was already beginning to poke out of his rear, but luckily he was still facing the Kangaskhan. Though it wouldn't take her very long to find out what was happening thanks to the horrid smell and audible noises Axel's bottom was producing. Puffs of air escaped Axel's rear as he grunted and shuffled his hind legs.

"What...what are you doing?" the Kangaskhan asked, hoping her suspicions wouldn't be confirmed. Axel was frozen where he was and couldn't respond to the towering female in front of him.

Otto looked over to his friend and saw that his first log was beginning to emerge.

"Axel, stop!" Otto whispered to the Flareon, "try to hold it in!"

"Gross, he's pooping!" a more shrill female voice said from behind Otto and Axel. Both Pokémons' stomachs sank as they realized the audience in front of them weren't the only ones watching.

"No way, he wouldn't be doing something like that with all these other Pokémon watching," the Kangaskhan assumed, still hoping she wouldn't have to witness something so unsanitary.

"He definitely is, I can see it coming out!" Axel heard the same voice say from behind, making his eyes go wide and his tailhole clench tightly shut, cutting off the two or three inch part of his log that had emerged.

"Eww!" Axel heard several voices say from behind as his stained butthole winked nervously. Turning his head back with fear in his eyes, Axel could see that almost fifty Pokémon were all looking back in his direction as his brightly shining fur and his lewdly exposed undercarriage. Not only did the Pokémon behind him witness the embarrassing deposit his rear had made onto the grass, but the Pokémon in front of him could see the chunk of Flareon business that dropped between his legs.

"Oh my goodness, you are pooping!" the Kangaskhan said, gravely offended by the smells and sights she was witnessing. Otto was feeling heavy waves of second-hand embarrassment wash over him as he watched his newly evolved friend humiliate himself in front of a whole field of Pokémon. He felt that his friend didn't deserve to be in the situation he was in and sought out to make things right.

"Hey, why are you all watching this? Can't my friend do his business in peace without all you pervs watching him?!" Otto shouted out, drawing even more attention from around the open field.

"You're the ones who are making all the noise!" a nearby Loudred commented.

"And the smells!" an annoyed Roserade complained.

"And your buddy's glowing really bright! It's messing with the lights in the sky!" a Camerupt joined in.

"Can't you guys just ignore hi--?!" Otto continued to berate the audience, only to be interrupted by the storm his own rear was brewing.

*PFRBRBRT!*

The laughter following Otto's emission was much louder this time, thanks to more Pokémon watching the show he and Axel were putting on. "C'mon, Ax, we gotta go, everyone's watching us here," Otto decided, grabbing his friend by his fur and pulling him away. "There's gotta be somewhere around here where no one will see us..."

---------------------------------AnonymousFeline----------------------------------

Only after several yards of quick pacing through the crowd did Axel yank against Otto's pull, planting his rear firmly against the ground not far from their original spot.

"Axel, come on! I can't hold it much longer!!!" The pitch in Otto's voice was a bit higher than normal, reflecting the immense desperation he was struggling to stave off, if not just for another minute or two. "Keep running!!!"

"I CAN'T!" Axel yelped, feeling horribly frustrated and humiliated. His fur shone brighter than ever as a response to the overwhelming sensory overload he was experiencing. Before Otto could even formulate a reply, he reflexively jolted back as Axel's body spontaneously discharged a torrent of flames in every direction at once. Fortunately, aside from Otto himself, no other Pokémon were within the blast radius as the bright, scorching flames disintegrated into a twinkling array of colorful flashes and sparks. This did, however, attract yet even more stares from any of the other Pokémon whose attention wasn't already on the troubled duo.

"A-ah! Sorry Otto! That wasn't--I didn't mean to...!" Axel profusely attempted to apologize for nearly burning his friend. The surrounding onlookers had mixed responses to the sudden explosive lightshow Axel had just accidentally put on.

"Whoa! That was pretty!"

"Are you TRYING to hurt us!?!?"

"You trying to start a fight or something???"

Seeing as most of the nearby crowd was getting the wrong idea about what had just happened, Axel decided it best to chance succumbing to the painful urge in his rear, and quickly stood back up and began running to avoid confrontation with the numerous bystanders. Otto was perplexed as his friend silently began sprinting through the crowd once more, but figured it be best not to ask questions and just follow along.

"H-hey, wait up Axel!"

------------------------------------Thumperump-------------------------------------

Axel was being driven forward by sheer willpower at this point, as his rear was about to give out any second. The Flareon's eyes darted left and right, looking for a place that would work for him to unload before finally seeing what seemed to be his saving grace. "Is that...a tree?!" Axel said excitedly, running over to the silhouette of the tree he saw about fifty feet away with Otto following closely behind.

"Hold on, Axel, you're going too fast!" Otto told his friend, holding his blue, furry cheeks together with his paws as he chased after him. The tree Axel was running towards had a few other dark figures next to it, but they were all facing in the opposite direction and couldn't see him or Otto approaching. The Flareon eventually arrived at the tree's roots and immediately turned his rear toward the trunk, squatting down and raising his tail.

"I can't take it anymore, Otto," Axel whispered to the Dewott, "I've gotta go right here!" Axel's face went from constrained to relieved as he loosened his tailhole and let a preemptive fart out.

*PFFFFFST!*

"Uhhh...Axel?" Otto tried to notify his friend of something important. The Dewott could plainly see that Axel was not squatting behind a tree, but rather a Trevenant who was also there to witness the northern lights. Unfortunately for Axel, he was too lost in the relief of his release to notice that the Trevenant had turned around, along with the five other Pokémon he was out camping with. The Flareon was already beginning to push out the rest of his first log, filling the air with crackling and popping noises as the euphoric relief shot through his loins.

"Hahhh..." Axel sighed, feeling his log slither out of his open tailhole and begin to taper off. "You're right, Otto, when you just forget everything and let go, it's wayyyy easier to go out--"

"WHAT do you think you're doing?!?!" the Trevenant shouted out, drawing all of the attention to Axel as his smelly log plopped between his hind legs on the ground.

---------------------------------AnonymousFeline----------------------------------

"............" Axel stared blankly at the Trevenant, who was both rightfully furious at the Flareon, and yet still seemed as though he was trying to process what just happened in front of him.

"...h-h-heh... um, I c-can explain...!" Axel felt overcome with fear, and braced himself as the six figures, all much larger than he, towered frightfully over him.

The Trevenant began to reach down to grab Axel off the ground, but Otto quickly spoke up to try to change what seemed like an inevitable fate for his ill-fortuned friend.

"W-wait! Please don't hurt him, it was an accident! He just needed to use the bathroom and thought you were a tree! Well, I mean, you technically are a tree, but--"

Axel exhaled disappointingly and rolled his eyes as he watched Otto go off on an ineffective tangent, completely failing to cover for his friend's honest mistake. He briefly considered making a run for it while the group's attention was turned to Otto, but decided there was nowhere he could really go to hide. Neither did he want to potentially leave his friend with the intimidating gang surrounding them, so he remained put while Otto continued to ramble fruitlessly. "--and that's why I don't understand how a spirit could even take possession of a tree. Isn't that weird? Well, I mean, I guess that's kinda beside the point. Uhh, what was I talking about again?"

The six figures looked to one another, then back to Otto and Axel. The Trevenant, completely disregarding the aimless spiel Otto just gave, was about to reach back out and grab Axel by the puffy fur around his neck, before one of the other members of his group, a scary looking Pangoro, chuckled to himself and began to whisper something to the Trevenant.

"...?" Axel and Otto glanced at each other, unable to make out the whispers from the large panda.

After a moment, the Trevenant looked back to Axel, and his livid scowl began to shift into a sort of menacing grin. He then looked to Otto.

"Heheheh... It was just an accident, huh? Well, I suppose it wouldn't be right to fault your friend for that, then." The Trevenant noticed Otto's odd posture, and assumed he was in the same boat as the suspect Flareon. "Actually, you look like you could use a bathroom break yourself, Blue, so lemme help you two out..."

"Really!?" Otto's eyes lit up with hope, as he pictured himself soon being able to find sweet release in total privacy.

"Yeah, yeah, of course." The Trevenant's friends all snickered malevolently to themselves. "Now, see, if you look over there..." The Trevenant pointed behind him, where a large tree could be seen disheveled on its side, lain flat against the ground nearby a pair of especially large tents, "there's actually a biiig tree over there you two can go behind. I'm sure nobody will interrupt you guys while you do your business there."

"Wow!" Axel managed to smile, despite the overwhelming urge to defecate still prominently at the forefront of his mind. "Thanks a bunch for pointing that out for us! We really owe you one!"

"Heheh... any time, pal." The Trevenant feigned a friendly smile as Axel began to dash out toward the large uprooted trunk in the distance.

"C'mon, Otto!" Axel rushed his friend, who swiftly followed behind.

Unfortunately, neither Axel nor Otto could recognize the otherwise familiar scratches and deep carvings in the tree's trunk amid the darkness of the night as they approached nearer.

...

"So whaddya think that Garchomp'll do to 'em when he sees those two dropping logs next to that tree he lugged all the way here?" The Pangoro snidely chuckled as he posed the question to the Trevenant.

"Heh. Well, let's just say I don't think they'll be much a bother to the rest of us anymore tonight." The Trevenant watched as the two naive Pokémon reached the large trunk.

"Wow! An actual tree!" Axel excitedly exclaimed, still feeling extremely bloated and beyond ready to finally release his load.

"Yeah, and this one isn't even demonically possessed!" Otto joked as he began to get into a squatting position, preparing to let loose a couple feet from where Axel stood.

------------------------------------Thumperump-------------------------------------

"Alright, here goes..." Otto said, spreading his legs a bit and lifting his flat tail into the air before beginning to push on his rear.

*FSSSFprtt!*

Axel watched as the Dewott's rear expelled some foul-smelling air before the tip of his first log poked out from his tailhole. At that same time, Otto happened to glace over to Axel and saw that his friend was staring right at his lower half. "What are ya staring for?" Otto said a bit teasingly, turning his rear more towards Axel and bending over. "You want a better view or somethin'?" Otto joked, spreading his furry cheeks open with his paws and showing off everything he had between them, looking back at his friend with a devious smile on his face.

"Aw, gross, Otto!" Axel reacted in disgust, seeing the Dewott's log emerging from his rear up close and personal. "What's your problem, dude?"

"Hey, you're the one who was staring!" Otto explained, stepping back into a more comfortable position before starting to push again, making his log slither out another few inches. As he watched Otto focus back on unloading, Axel took the opportunity to do the same. The Flareon squatted and raised his tail with his rear facing the trunk like Otto was doing. He could feel the breeze over his dung-caked butthole, making him cringe a bit before relaxing his bowels yet again that night.

*PSSssssffptt...*

"Ahhhh..." Axel sighed as his second log crowned at his tailhole. The pink orifice opened slowly around the brown mass as it inched its way out into the cool air.

"This feels better without a whole audience watching," Axel remarked as he felt his log tickle the rim of his anus on its journey outward.

"You said it, pal," Otto agreed with his friend, feeling his first log begin to taper off before dropping from his rear and plopping onto the ground.

*PFFRBRBRT!*

"Phew, watch out, I think you're in the blast zone!" Otto joked as he pinched his nose, hiking one of his legs and looking between them at the log he just dropped. "Haha, that was a big one, wasn't it?"

"Woah!" Axel reacted to the size of the log that was on the ground underneath Otto's rear. "Yeah, my famous mega feast'll do that to ya I guess, heheh. Speaking of..." Axel said, feeling his log taper off and plop onto the grass. "Hahhhhh..."

Meanwhile, Gash and Zigzag were out enjoying the light show nature was putting on for them when the mighty Garchomp felt the urge to urinate come over him.

"Wait here, Zag," Gash said, standing up from lying down and brushing himself off, "I've gotta go and take a leak."

"Be back quick, boss, you don't wanna miss much of this," Zigzag advised, watching as the Garchomp stomped off. Gash walked over to where he and Zigzag had set up camp, noticing his massive tree trunk was right where he left it.

"Good, these Pokémon here know better than to steal something that belongs to me," Gash said to himself, stepping off into some open grass and letting his bladder loose.

"Ahh..." the massive Garchomp sighed as his urine pattered into the grass. He was in a state of complete relaxation...that is until his nose caught a whiff of something absolutely foul. "What the...?" Gash said to himself as he finished peeing and followed the stench closer and closer to where his big tree trunk was sitting.

"Off to a good start, the flaming Flareon's third log looks to be a winner, folks!" Otto joked as he stepped over to Axel and looked down at the log slowly starting to leave his bottom, doing sports-like commentary as a joke. Axel clenched and sucked the tip of the log right back into his twitching butthole before shooting an irritated glare at Otto.

"Otto, you know I'm bathroom shy, c'mon!" Axel complained, shuffling his haunches and trying to get his rear out of view of his friend.

"Sorry, haha, I'm having too much fun, aren't I?" Otto said, laughing and scratching the back of his head.

"I would agree," a deep, brooding voice said from behind Otto, making both him and Axel freeze up before looking up in fear at the towering figure above them. "Just WHAT do you think you two are doing on my prized tree I ripped from the ground myself?"

---------------------------------AnonymousFeline----------------------------------

"A-a-ahh--uhh......y-your p-prized t-tree...?" Otto's voice began trembling as much as his body had been as he caught sight of the enormous beast.

Acting purely on adrenaline, Axel's fight-or-flight response caused him to instinctively begin running in a blind attempt to flee the ginormous predator in front of him. He only made it about a foot before the Garchomp snatched him off the ground and dangled him upside down in the air.

"You're not going anywhere."

"H-h-h-h--" Otto tried his hardest to defiantly shout at Gash, who held his friend hostage by his large, poofy tail. Unfortunately, with his nerves tense as they were, he was only able to coerce a guttural rasping sound which drew Gash's attention back to him.

"Ah, yeah, wouldn't want to forget about this one." The Garchomp effortlessly scooped up the panicked Dewott into his other arm and carried the two of them at his sides as he casually walked back to show Zigzag his unexpected haul.

"Well what do ya got there, hmm?" Zigzag raised a brow and stared inquisitively at the two petrified Pokémon who were left helpless in Gash's grip.

"I found them defacing the tree I left by our tents."

"Huh, judging by the puny size of 'em, they're either some of the boldest, stupidest numbskulls in this entire crowd, or they must not've known that... that... wait a second..." Zigzag trailed off and squinted harshly at the pair of delinquent hostages, as if he recognized them but couldn't quite remember where from.

"...uh, boss...? Are these two...? Did they...?" Zigzag seemed to realize something, but Gash wasn't quite sure what his combat partner was trying to say.

"What about them? Do you know them from somewhere?" Gash visually interrogated each of them, trying to spot whatever it was about them that had caught Zigzag's attention. The Zebstrika remained silent for a moment and his expression became starkly neutral, as if he was hesitating to say something important.

"Boss, are these the two shrimp that cheated us out of that win in Baram Arena a couple months back?"

Gash's eyes immediately widened at the remembrance of his humiliating televised defeat amid the viewership of tens-of-thousands of watchers several months ago. His eyes stared through Axel for a moment, then through Otto, then back through Axel again.

"A fire type and a water type, defecating in front of me as a means of personal insult..." Gash ruminated on the thought silently for a moment as he stared off into the distance. His grip on both the Pokémon began to tighten considerably, making it hard for either of them to breathe. Both of them, however, were far too frightened to verbally protest.

"..........."

Gash tried very hard to recall if the two Pokémon at his sides had been the ones responsible for his loss back then. Because he'd been knocked unconscious, he couldn't quite remember much of the fight itself, going only by what Zigzag told him had happened afterward. He did, however, remember the barrage of broadcasts all over TV the following nights, droning on endlessly about the stunning upset that shook the world.

After nearly 45 seconds of unperturbed silence, Gash spoke.

"...No, I don't think this is them."

"Phew..." Otto breathed a heavy sigh of relief, extremely thankful not to be mistaken for the two lookalikes who had surely landed their names on Gash's kill list some months ago.

"Well, uh..." Zigzag looked to Gash, then to Axel and Otto, "what should we do with 'em? I mean, I wouldn't be opposed to giving 'em the ol' one-two with a quick dose of lightning. Then you could tear 'em to pieces and they wouldn't be able to make a sound!"

Gash faintly smiled at Zigzag's suggestion.

"Ooooor..." Zigzag continued, "we could put 'em in the middle of the crowd over there and force 'em to finish what they started doing to your tree in front of everyone!"

The towering Garchomp glanced at the two helpless 'mon, and considered his plan of action.

"Hmm. 9 times out of 10 I'd much prefer that first idea. But I didn't come all the way out here to get all bloodied up tonight and make a mess. Which means..."

------------------------------------Thumperump-------------------------------------

"No...no, please, no!" Axel begged, finally gaining the strength to speak as the prospect of getting to finish relieving himself privately was snatched from him before he could finish his business.

"You should've thought about that before defiling my tree, dumb little Flareon," Gash said in his deep, intimidating voice. "You too, little Dewott. Don't think I'm not going to make you join your stupid friend in his humiliation." The evil Garchomp carried both Axel and Otto over to the center of the large field, stepping past many Pokémon who looked over to see what was going on.

"Is that the Gash?"

"Who's he carrying under his arms?"

"Boy, I wouldn't wanna be those two Pokémon right now..."

Axel and Otto could hear the voices around them comment. They could feel the cold night air breeze past their exposed rears as they were carried through the crowd until Gash stopped where he was, looked around for a moment, and dropped them unceremoniously on the ground.

*ThuTHUNK!*

"This looks like a good place," Gash said to Axel and Otto, grinning back at Zigzag, who had followed him over to the spot. The two smaller Pokémon looked up to Gash in fear, still feeling full of the business they had yet to unload and fearfully holding their tails down over their rears. With all of the surrounding Pokémons' eyes on him, Gash took the opportunity to announce what exactly would be happening.

"Ladies and Gentlemon!" Gash's voice carried effortlessly through the quiet crowd, making Axel and Otto blush a deep red. The nervous Flareon even began to glow a bit brighter, making his presence known to everyone in the area.

"What's happening?"

"I dunno, but let's watch! These lights are getting kinda boring anyway..." scattered voices said in the crowd.

"These two Pokémon here were caught, ahem, 'relieving themselves' on my prized tree. The nerve, right?" Gash explained as the Pokémon around him laughed in response, some of them only laughing because they were scared of what would happen to them if they didn't, but others finding the situation genuinely comical.

"Boo!!!" Zigzag shouted, trying to get the crowd against Otto and Axel as they looked to the ground in shame.

"Anyway, I managed to stop them before they could do any more damage, but it's my understanding that they have plenty more 'business' to do. Ain't that right, pipsqueaks?" Axel and Otto couldn't bring themselves to respond, and only nodded when Gash asked his rhetorical question. This wasn't good enough for the frustrated Garchomp. "I said, AIN'T THAT RIGHT, PIPSQUEAKS?!?!"

"Yes!" Axel and Otto responded together before a nervous, deafening fart escaped from Axel's rear, vibrating the grass his bottom was planted against.

*PFFBBBFBFBRT!*

"Those closer up might want to take a step back. If you can't tell already, this is gonna get pretty smelly," Zigzag advised the Pokémon in the audience, who could be heard groaning and chuckling in reaction to the eruption of gas from Axel's hind end. Both Axel and Otto were too afraid and embarrassed to get into a squatting position to continue their business.

That was until Gash glared down at both of them and brandished one of his razor-sharp claws.

"If you two don't finish what you started right here, right now, say goodbye to ever pooping again," Gash threatened. While the threat might've been perceived as comical in any other circumstance, both Otto and Axel were thoroughly shaken to their cores upon hearing this. Looking over to Otto, Axel felt his cheeks burning bright red, and he could see that his friend's were the same.

"We never talk about this day ever again. Agreed?" Axel proposed, shakily getting into the typical feral pooping pose and raising his tail.

"Agreed," Otto responded also squatting down and raising his tail. Both Pokémon could feel the embarrassment surging through their bodies as they heard disgusted groans and stifled laughs as they revealed their dirty tailholes to the hundreds of Pokémon behind them.

*Whistle*

"Shake it, Dewott! Wooo!!!" Otto heard a female voice behind him tease, making his legs begin to shake nervously in response before his rear took over.

*PFFROOT!*

---------------------------------AnonymousFeline----------------------------------

The nearby Pokémon surrounding Axel and Otto could clearly hear every sound both of their noisy rear ends made as they mentally braced themselves to resume doing their business. With every puff of gas that escaped their hindquarters, a roaring wave of laughter followed shortly after, with scattered comments and jokes audible throughout the crowd.

"Phew! I'm glad I'm not a Flareon, I don't know how I could put up with the smell of my own gas!" One of the Pokémon ridiculed.

"So do all water types have such loud farts, or is it just the Dewott?" Another of them rhetorically asked, trying to get a rise out of Otto.

"Nnngh... I don't like this..." Otto grumbled to himself, almost equally frustrated as he was frightened about his current circumstance. Axel, too scared of saying anything that might rub Gash the wrong way, chose to remain quiet and let the humiliation soak in without rebuke.

*Bllrrrrrrrrrppppppppttt...*

Otto loudly sighed as a significant wave of gas began to escape his tailhole, causing the Pokémon behind him to react with a simultaneous combination of laughter and disgusted groans and coughs.

"Oh, lord! He's definitely got more than just gas in there!" One of the audience members could be heard shouting between coughs.

Axel briefly looked up to scan the audience, and immediately regretted doing so as he saw what must have been hundreds of pairs of eyes staring back at him, eagerly waiting for him to really kick things off. He could tell at a glance that everyone was ready to begin making snide remarks and less-than-clever jokes and puns, all at his expense. Unfortunately for the poor Flareon, the desperate urgency he was feeling had finally begun to outweigh his disdain toward the idea of voiding his bowels center-stage. A lot of the gas that he'd been holding in on his long trek here was finally beginning to push him to his breaking point. His stomach gurgled forebodingly, letting everyone around him know that whatever was about to come out of his twitching anus was going to be massive.

"Oooohhh... Otto, you need to m-move..." Axel's voice reflected the intestinal distress he was suffering from. Hearing that combined with the ominous rumbling of his friend's stomach just then, Otto didn't so much as bother questioning the Flareon's vague warning and instead wisely opted to create several additional feet of space between them.

"N-no... f-farther..." Axel firmly clutched his belly with a paw, struggling hard to retain the contents that were in his bottom as his friend hastily made his way into the edge of the surrounding circle of Pokémon.

"Uh oh..." Zigzag could tell whatever was about to happen was probably something he should also observe from a safe distance. He integrated himself into the circle of onlookers and made sure he stood facing directly opposite to the Flareon's bulging rear. Gash, noticing his companion's precautionary migration into the crowd, figured there was no harm in doing the same, and took several steps into the crowd. At the same time, Axel's bowels finally gave way, and his tail promptly rose up high, exposing to everyone the volcano that was his butthole, ready to erupt.

*...fffffffffffff...*

*...fffffffffffrrrrrttt...*

*frrRRRRRRRRAAAAAAPPPPPTTTT*

*BRRRRRRRRRRRRRMMMMMMMMPPPPPHHTTTT*

One after another, a series of tremendous farts began shaking Axel's fiery orange cheeks as the horribly foul, steamy fumes densely clouded the air. Axel clenched his eyes shut as a cold wave of embarrassing shame washed over his body. He knew now that he'd finally relaxed his sphincter enough to let things begin coming out, there would be no way to close it back up again until the immense force inside was expelled from his back end.

Much to his blind surprise, as Axel continued to produce a cacophonic blast of fart after fart, he wasn't met with the shame-bringing laughter he'd wholly come to expect at this point. Instead, a considerable number of the bystanders who chose to watch, especially those who were up close, had retreated the scene altogether as they began to get a whiff of the deadly gases. Amidst his own deafening farts, he could hear loud, uncovered coughing coming from every direction and various declarations of disgust and dumbfounded surprise.

After nearly 20 straight seconds of voiding his belly of gas, Axel felt a soft, yet large mass finally plug the hole.

"Hngh..."

Since he'd already started letting nature take its course, Axel decided not to resist the heaviness in his bowels any longer, and chose to get everything out at once. Without taking a breath, Axel continued pushing as his anus pressed tightly around the solid log, forcing it out with ease despite its impressive size.

Before his anus had a chance to close after delivering the first, a second log jutted out of his cheeks and forced him to keep pushing after taking a quick breath. After about 7 inches, it finally pounded against the dirt. The smell emanating from the center of the circle had caused about half of the Pokémon in attendance to either take several steps back, or to flee the scene altogether to escape the rancid toxicity. After expelling the second log, Axel took a moment to take several deep breaths, at which point Otto reluctantly shuffled his way out of the remaining audience and back to his friend, trying his best to cover his face from the inescapable offensive air.

"What in the name of Arceus, dude..." Otto couldn't think of much to say in response to the astonishing show Axel had just put on in front of everyone. "I... definitely think I prefer when you kept your pooping habits private from me, haha..."

Axel, taking one last deep breath to recover, seemingly ignored his friend as he let out one last triumphant BRAAAAAP to signify that his bowels were finally empty.

"Haaaahhhh..." Axel sighed in relief, and turned back to examine the solid leftovers of his handiwork. "H-heh, guess it wasn't such an exaggeration when I said I felt like I was carrying a bowling ball or two in me..."

"You can say that again..." Otto rolled his eyes, feeling a strange twinge of jealousy at the spectacle Axel had just put on, desiring to somehow one-up it.

"Well..." Otto shrugged to the crowd, who'd largely fell silent in respite of the extensive coughing they'd just gotten through while Axel answered nature's call. "Much to your disappointment, I'm sure, I don't think I can quite compete with that..." The Dewott half-teased his friend, causing some of the crowd, including Gash and Zigzag, to chuckle aloud.

"Heh, seriously. Next time you gotta go like that Axel, be a bit more clear, 'cause if that's what you're holding back when you say you need to use the bathroom, I at least wanna minimize the trauma you inflict to my nose, not to mention to whatever toilet is unfortunate enough to cross your path!"

The crowd's laughter grew, mirroring that as it'd been earlier. With the audience evidently on his side, Otto began to assume his squatting position again, figuring now was as good a time as ever to get his part of the show over with.

"And now, ladies and gentlemons...! The moment you've all been waiting for...!" Otto grazed a paw through the air, as if he were a magician fixing to perform an impressive trick. "Watch, as the shrimpy Dewott you see before you, takes a disproportionately large dump before your very eyes!" A couple sarcastic whistles could be heard from the crowd, playing along with Otto's silly charade. A few others rolled their eyes at the ridiculousness of what they were about to witness, and the hilarity with which Otto played it all off.

"Without further ado, then...!" Otto began to loudly grunt as his tailhole started flexing open and shut.

*Fbbbblllrrrrpppttt...*

Otto stiffened up for a moment, blushing at the unexpectedly loud and wet bout of flatulence. "Heheheh, o-oops...!"

Trying his best to maintain control over the situation, the Dewott recomposed himself and felt things begin to move south. Though he'd released most of his gas at earlier points during the night, he still had a considerable amount of poop pressing against his tailhole. It only took a couple of seconds before it widened as the tip of a log, both darker and firmer than Axel's, spread it open. He continued to grunt as it made its way out, crackling with short spurts of gas coming out at the same time. It finally hit the ground at about 5 inches in length, whereby another immediately took its place, forcing Otto's rear back open. He wasted no time in passing the second log, which was comparatively similar to the first.

"Hoooohh... I don't know about the rest of you, but I for one am really enjoying this...!" Otto tried to hide the embarrassment that was clearly written on his face with a confident facade and some witty one-liners. The audience's reaction was a mixture of laughter--both at him, and with him--and more jokes centered around the smell, and Otto's focused facial expression as he relieved himself.

"He really takes his pooping seriously!" Zigzag jested, causing a couple of the Pokémon close to him to cackle with laughter.

"Yeah! He seems really competitive about it, too!" Another onlooker exclaimed, laughing as he said so.

"Yeah, yeah... ggh... just wait til ya see--frrt--my poker face at the casino..." Axel couldn't help but giggle at his friend's jokes, passively envying his gift of swaying large crowds, even those as against him as this one had been.

"With that kind of wind power, can your butt play instruments too, Slick!?" A voice toward the back of the crowd shouted.

"Oh, pfft, don't g-get ahead of yourself...! That w-was my next act!" A loud thud sounded as Otto had finished releasing his 6th log in front of the crowd. "Ah... I think I've got one more in me... Can I get a drumroll for this one...!?"

Some of the Pokémon in the crowd stomped their hands, feet, and paws against the ground to produce a... somewhat distinguishable drumroll as Otto exaggeratively grunted. His tailhole opened wide and a heavy, light-colored log slid out much faster than the others had, concluding his final release of the night.

"Ahah... Maybe I should go into show business after this, huh, Axel...?"

Axel rolled his eyes and laughed, feeling much better now that all the attention was on his friend, who actually seemed to manage it quite well.

After both of them had finished, Gash walked out from the crowd with Zigzag peeking behind him.

"Well, I wasn't sure what to expect when I had you two finish doing your thing in front of everyone... but I definitely wasn't expecting that."

Otto took the remark as a compliment, and grinned to show his satisfaction with the display.

"Anyway, I must admit, the two of you had me mildly amused throughout that ordeal, so instead of chopping you both up and using you as hunting bait, I'll go ahead and let you go. This time."

Axel nervously laughed, unsure of what to make of that final remark. Otto stood up straight and cleared his throat to address the crowd one final time.

"Well, everyone, it's been swell being here with you tonight, but unfortunately, my sidekick and I must go! I've built up quite the appetite performing that show for you all, and I'm sure Axel here has, too. So with that, I bid you farewell, and a good night to all!"

Axel lightly shoved Otto and giggled, slightly embarrassed by his friend's ridiculous ceremonious speech. He followed Otto as the two began to make their way back to their tent for the night, certain to have plenty to talk about on the way back home in the morning.
