Here’s another Scaling Up YCH for  Borusa-Ryalam, featuring his Inteleon fellow, Dimitri, learning to appreciate the larger side of life - the far, far larger side of life, that is! I had loads of fun working on this one, especially with the backgrounds and couple of Logos I threw in throughout it. Also, I haven’t drawn any Pokémon-based characters in a decent while so it was refreshing to do that again, especially with such a unique character design!

Thank you again to  Borusa-Ryalam for commissioning me for this wonderful idea, it was a lot of fun to work on!

It was official - (barely) standing at 941 pounds, Dimitri could feel that his days of mobility were nearing their end. He’d already been forced to vacate his home for a more ah, accommodating environment… after all, he couldn’t afford to keep ripping the front door off its hinges every time he squeezed through it, could he? When his dear delivery man helpfully pointed out that the local truck stop had a scale that went up to 1,200 pounds, he was sold! That would help for the time being!

After hitching a ride to the truck stop in the back of the donut delivery truck (while taking advantage of the leftover stock in there), he found an unusual sort of greeting at the rural truck stop. While being of impressive girths themselves, most of the drivers there were shocked and impressed by the incredibly indulgent Inteleon who somehow managed to waddle out of the truck (with a bit of help from them). They even gave him a free meatball sub as a welcoming present! It was awfully kind of them, even if the heaving, overstuffed sub was a bit… light for his tastes. Given the looks these truckers were giving him though, Dimitri was sure they’d have some more food to give him before long…

From either fascination or attraction on the part of the truckers, the free food kept on coming, leading to the inevitable consequence of an immobile Inteleon and a broken scale. That thing had a limit of 1,200 pounds - who knew how fat he’d become since then! It was a shame to be sure, but the truckers already offered to get him a new scale. It shouldn’t be too long till it arrived. But, at the rate he was gorging, he wondered if they had a forklift strong enough to lift his blubbery behind onto the new scale…

At 1,889 pounds, Dimitri was given the gift of an exquisite wedding cake! Apparently, one of the truckers either ordered an extra cake or had a falling out with a bride or something like that (Dimitri was a little too focused on the cake to pay much mind to what he was babbling about), and he just couldn’t stand seeing it going to waste. In the heavy hands of this Inteleon, it was sure to be put to good use! As he was busy stuffing his boulder-sized belly, one of the other truckers guffawed and cracked a joke about him being “Dimitri the Dough Dumpster!” While the other guys laughed at the joke, Dimitri was too focused on the cake to catch on - and instead, asked about his benefits as a “Dough Dumpster.” Keeping the ball rolling, it was decided that weekly wedding cakes would be part of his new “position” - a fact which greatly thrilled the overgrown pudge ball!

The weekly “Dounut’in Deer” overstock dump had come early this time around, much to Dimitri’s pleasure! Just in time for him to hit the impressive weight of 5913 delightfully fatty pounds, too! The immense Inteleon wobbled happily as his old delivery driver friend dumped box after box of sugary treats into his gluttonous gullet, bantering politely with him. Dimitri noticed that his old friend had been looking quite pudgy as of late himself. If the rounding raccoon wasn’t careful, he’d end up rolling right off of his immense rolls - or, even worse (or better, depending on your point of view) - he’d end up rolling right into Dimitri’s mouth!

Not that Dimitri wanted that of course… After all, he liked the occasional company up here! Plus, the comparatively little guy mentioned something about “Globe Gobblers” and 12 other chain stores and fast food joints needing somewhere to safely dump their excess food too! It’d be better if the raccoon stayed out of his mouth, at least until those contracts were secured. Dimitri’s groaning form gurgled happily at the thought of all the food he’d be getting soon…

After his experiences with the last few scales, Dimitri had to say he was beyond impressed with the current one - especially since he couldn’t even see the truck stop anymore! Although, he thought it may be buried somewhere under his tremendous tail… It was a shame to see the little truck stop vanish beneath him, but hey, 5,005,365 pounds of lard had to go somewhere! At his immense, groaning size, the inteleon should’ve been able to see his old house from here. While he couldn’t see it, he thought he could feel it poking into his northernmost fat roll - or maybe that was just another suburb, it was hard to tell at this size.

While most would’ve stopped long before this immense size, Dimitri was hardly satisfied. His gorging had become outright ridiculous, and his weight showed no signs of slowing down! In fact, as he looked to the stars, he felt something swelling in his chest… and it wasn’t a glass-shattering burp, this time. This time, it was the swell of ambition… For now, this mountain of lard’s story is done… but who knows how far his fattening antics will go next time!
