Stomach Stallion: The Misadventures of Verdant Range
Princesses, Portals and Pastry Pokémon
Previous ChapterNext ChapterVerdant gave a stretch as he stepped off the third floor elevator of the Vanhoover institute. He was feeling refreshed and better than he’d felt in years thanks to his vacation in the Crystal Empire.
“Well, time to end up in a stomach again,” Verdant casually said as he stepped towards the door to High Gear’s lab.
Just as he was about to push it open, he heard a voice shouting from inside the room.
“It’s not fair! You went on a vacation for a week, keeping me cooped up in a little room the whole time you were gone! I didn’t even have a Game Filly to kill time!” A tinny mare’s voice penetrated the door. “You really should tell some other ponies about me, at least your little guinea pig.”
“I will when I find the time’s ready, and I don’t think he’s ready for that yet.” Verdant heard High Gear’s annoyed reply before she sighed. “I swear, I’ll let him in on the secret down the line. Now, he’s gonna be here any minute, so head to your room and I’ll drop off some movies from Blockbuster’s once I finish up here.”
“Fine,” the second voice poutifully replied before the sound of metal clanging on the stepladder reached Verdant’s ears. “Just get Verdant in a stomach soon. I wanna see the new Pony Rangers movie and Mistresses of the Universe.”
Cautiously stepping inside, Verdant saw High Gear behind her console while the cover to the ducts in the ceiling closed.
“Hey there, Doctor. Anything going on?” The shamrock stallion cautiously asked as he stepped onto the platform.
“Eh, just some minor stuff with other projects I’ve got going,” she responded as she shrugged her shoulders. “Nothing to worry about.”
“You have projects besides this teleporter?” Verdant’s surprised tone made Gear give the earth pony a half-lidded glare.
“Why do you think they keep letting me work on this expensive thing after so many problems?” Gear frustratedly replied. “I work on weapons for the royal guard, defensive measures against monsters, replacement limbs for amputees, and Pix and I have worked on some projects like video games and A.I.. At any rate, I’ve got something for you.”
Reaching into her lab coat, High Gear pulled out a silver tin that she tossed towards Verdant, making him catch it in his teeth.
“That’s the project I got the chemistry department to work on,” Gear said as Verdant dropped the container into his hooves and opened it, revealing a large collection of green and yellow pills. “These are super gas pills. If you get eaten again-”
“You mean when.” Verdant interjected.
“Probably. Either way, just drop this in the stomach acid and it’ll cause a large build up of gas that should cause whoever ate you to burp you up.” Gear replied as Verdant closed the container and slipped it into his vest. “One capsule should do the trick.”
“Thanks, Gear. This is a lot better than being thrown up or crapped out,” Verdant said before straightening his stance. “Now, let’s light this candle.”
“Lighting candle now,” Gear replied as she flipped several switches, making the teleporter light up before Verdant vanished in a flash of light.
“Alright, now let’s see where he went,” Gear said as she turned her attention to one of the displays on the console. “Hmm… That’s odd, this is missing part of the usual energy pattern I get when Verdant’s teleported.”
As she pondered the energy anomaly, the entryway to the ceiling opened up and someone stuck their head through the opening above the ladder. “Ceiling Pone is watching you send ponies into stomachs.”
Gear groaned at the mare's words. “Right. Blockbuster’s, then I’m off to Canterlot.”

A bright afternoon sun beamed down on the city of Canterlot as Princess Celestia and Princess Luna were making their way to a field that had been set up near the palace grounds. Upon the ground was a pattern drawn in chalk. It formed a circle that was divided in the middle with a smaller circle in the very center.
Princess Luna gave a tired yawn as she and Celestia came to a halt a few yards away from the drawn circle. “Remind me what this presentation’s about again? I had trouble following that mare’s magi-jargon.”
“Dr. Glowing Doorway believes she has a way to make large portals within our dimension for the purpose of transporting goods,” Celestia replied as she spotted a flicker of purple light out of the corner of her eye. “She says that this could revolutionize travel.”
“Indeed!” A boisterous voice exclaimed as the flicker expanded into a violet circle. Soon the center of the circle became the image of an off-white coated unicorn mare with amber eyes and a short, dark indigo mane. What caught the eye of the princesses wasn’t the look of the mare, but the sight of the palace interior behind her as she stepped through the violet circle of light before it sealed shut behind her.
“I’ve been working on smaller scale prototypes of this spell circle for a while, but this will be the test of something far grander.” The unicorn soon made her way to Princess Celestia’s side, allowing the alabaster mare to see her cutie mark, a pair of white circles; one was surrounded by jagged red and orange edges while the other had cyan and blue.
“This will be far more useful and efficient than Dr. High Gear’s teleportation machine.” A chuckle escaped the mare as she focused her eyes on the sight of the spell circle. “That fool should just accept that magic is far superior to her little toys.”
“We shall see, Dr. Doorway,” Celestia said, holding back the urge to chide her for her boastfulness. “So, shall we begin?”
“With pleasure, Your Highness,” Glowing Doorway replied as she stepped towards the chalk lines. Her horn glowed a vibrant purple before she bent down and touched her horn to the circle. The instant she made contact, the purple glow spread over the chalk.
“Now, if everything’s set up properly, this will open a gateway to a warehouse where I’ve set up a large collection of boxes.” A confident grin graced Glowing Doorway’s muzzle when a ball of light started to form in the center of the circle.
As the ball grew, the glow suddenly shifted from a vibrant purple to a threatening magenta before the ball shot a bolt of magenta lightning towards the sky.
“Uh-oh…” A chill ran up Doorway’s spine as more bolts arced from the spell circle, wind began to come from it and the blue skies turned a dark red. “This… this isn’t what’s supposed to happen…”
Before Celestia could utter a word in response, an explosion of pink smoke came from the spell circle. Celestia raised a shield over her and her compatriots, allowing the mist to harmlessly pass over them.
However, when the smoke started to clear, the three saw a massive creature standing where the circle was that made both Luna and Doorway’s jaws drop.
The creature was nearly a hundred feet in height, but the oddest thing about it was that it looked to be a gigantic four tier cake topped with a being made of living cream.
The beast’s base seemed to be a cake covered in black fondant with yellow candy stars and layers of cream on the top and bottom of the tier. Above that was a gray and purple fondant cake with a candy bow and a clover shaped sweet on top of it. The third tier had white fondant, an arch of candy blueberries in the center with orange candy flowers surrounding the rest of the tier. On the final tier was a combination of gray and black fondant and pink candy hearts.
Craning her neck up, Princess Celestia saw she was staring into the pink eyes of a creature that seemed to be made of white cream, including hair, small wing-like arms, a white and gray bow tie and a white bow in its ‘hair’. Behind the bow seemed to be a gigantic strawberry.
“CREEEEEMMMMIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEE!” The creature bellowed before a cascade of star shaped sparkles came from it. As the creature’s roar echoed throughout the city, massive comets of cream careened towards Canterlot.
With a flare of their horns, Celestia and Luna quickly formed glowing barriers over the cream comets’ targets. To the alicorns’ shock, however, the gigantic cream piles shattered the shields as if they were glass.
“This… is not good,” Luna said as she tried to assess the damage caused by the massive splatters against the buildings. To her relief, it seemed the damage was near minimal and nopony seemed to be harmed.
“I’ve summoned a giant dessert monster that’s about to destroy the city…” Luna’s attention turned to the terrified Glowing Doorway as she slowly started to back away. “Oh dear Faust, it’s just like the fortune cookie said!”
“Any ideas on how to stop this being, Sister?” Luna asked as she looked back to her sister, only to see a wicked grin on her face before she licked her lips.
“Challenge accepted.” Celestia chucked before she shifted her gaze to the younger alicorn. “Luna, go to the armory and take out an item labelled MMPR-93. Once you have it, charge it with as much of your magic as possible and then throw it from high up at the ground near me. Understood?”
“Yes, Sister.” Luna sharply nodded before her horn glowed with cobalt light. “Be careful.”
“Rest assured, I will,” Celestia replied before Luna vanished in a flash of light.
However, because of the bright light in front of her, Celestia didn’t see a flash that came from above the cake creature.
***
Verdant felt his stomach lurch as he felt himself enter freefall. The shamrock stallion almost screamed before he felt himself landing onto something soft and a bit sticky before starting to slide down it.
“Crapcrapcrap!” He quickly cursed before he finally managed to get a grip on the soft surface and dangled futilely from the edge.
Verdant tried to keep from looking down, afraid to see how far he was from the ground as he looked up to the dark red skies.
“CREEMIEE?” A deep, thunderous voice from nearby made the hair stand up on the back of his neck and a chill ran down his spine.
With a slow swallow, he started to turn his eyes down. In a matter of seconds, he found himself staring into a massive pink eye.
“Uh… hi there.” Verdant said before looking over his shoulders, seeing he was on the forehead of a creature that was nearly a hundred feet tall, on par with several of the famous towers of Canterlot. “So… What exactly are you?”
“ALCREMIEE!!!” The living cake rumbled before flicking its head upwards. The sudden movement sent the now screaming stallion skyward.
As Verdant felt gravity start to regain its pull on him, he saw the creature opening its mouth and that he was headed right for it.
“Of friggin’ course!” Verdant screamed as the massive maw drew ever closer. “At least I’m not shrunk this time!”
The emerald earth pony felt himself splat against the kaiju’s tongue before he slid down it like a water slide. It wasn’t long before he crashed face first into the monster’s fondant-like throat before he repeatedly tumbled and struck the esophagus wall on the way down before he splashed down in the cake creature’s stomach.
Verdant gave a groan as he weakly pulled himself from the stomach juices and hauled himself against the walls. The texture of the walls didn’t have the normal fleshy feel he’d become accustomed to, but it was more like a cream covered sponge cake.
“Well this is a tad weird,” he remarked as he gazed around the stomach’s seemingly fondant covered walls. While he did see stomach juices and bits of food within the beast, the food looked to be chunks of gigantic berries that could crush a building.
“Oh well. Questions for later.” Verdant reached into his vest and pulled out the tin High Gear had given him. “Time to get outta-”
The emerald earth pony was silenced when the creature’s stomach violently spun all about, disorienting Verdant as he crashed into several of the digesting berries.
As suddenly as it began, the shaking soon stopped with things settling down to where they were originally.
“What in Tartarus was that?!” Verdant groaned through gritted teeth as he looked up to the esophageal valve, wondering what would have caused such a surprising quake.
***
The cake kaiju had launched more volleys of its cream attacks at the city. Despite the best efforts of Celestia and the unicorn guards trying to raise magical shields, the most they were able to do was soften the blows.
From the top of the tallest of the palace towers, Princess Luna appeared in a flash of cobalt light. Clutched in her forelegs was long black staff. At the top was a gold-lined black moon with a crimson jewel orb. Just below that was an odd shape that reminded the princess of black and gold measuring tools with a few blue jewels.
Looking down from her spot atop the tower, Luna saw her sister standing before the creature, firing the occasional magical blast at it that clearly wasn’t very effective.
“I pray this plan of yours works, Sister.” Luna took a deep breath before flaring her horn and concentrating her magic into the staff. The midnight alicorn quickly started to feel drained as she poured as much of her magical energies into the staff as she could muster.
Taking one last deep breath, Luna stood on her hindlegs as she readied to toss the staff like a javelin or Shining Armor would toss Cadance.
“Magic wand, make my sister grow!” Luna bellowed in the Royal Canterlot Voice before she hurtled the staff to the ground.
When the staff impacted the ground, the crimson orb glowed and shot out scarlet lightning before the ground split open with an eruption of steam.
Even with the large gouts of steam blocking much of the view, Luna was able to see a growing Celestia emerging from it. The elder princess quickly began dwarfing the attacking cake creature, the princess quickly growing to over ten times the creature’s size.
A colossal grin crept across the thousand foot tall alicorn’s muzzle before she opened her maw wide and let her tongue hang out.
Without any legs, the cake creature tried to do the only thing it could to defend itself by launching another volley of cream comets at the princess. However, due to how absolutely massive the princess now was, the giant cream dollops did little more than make her face a bit messy.
Celestia’s giant tongue soon slammed into the ground before slipping under the now terrified creature and pulling it into her massive maw. The alabaster alicorn let out a hum of delight as she raised her head back up swallowed, sending out a rumble that was heard for miles.
“HMMM… TURNS OUT IT WAS MATCHA FLAVORED. The alicorn’s comment, meant to be a quiet observation, instead boomed like thunder and echoed throughout the kingdom’s capital.
***
“Well, it’s time to get out of here,” Verdant said before he opened up the capsule case and plucked one of the pills. With a light toss, the pill landed in the juices just as he closed the case and slipped it back into his vest.
A loud fizzing noise echoed around the chamber as the bubbles quickly started to roil. Verdant was soon caught by a wave of digestive juice bubbles, ending up on top of one of them shortly before it exploded with a massive rush of foul smelling air that made the shamrock stallion rocketing up the creature’s throat.
When Verdant reached the cake monster’s mouth, he saw that he wasn’t going to crash into one of the famed Canterlot landmarks, but the walls of a second stomach filled with a mixture of cake, salad and truffles.
The shamrock stallion impacted the fleshy wall before he bounced off it and spiraled downward, landing on top of the candy clover on the cake creature’s second tier.
“Well…” Verdant weakly and carefully tried to stand up from his place on the candy. “At least this means I only need one more for my san-”
A bright crimson light suddenly came from the creature. Before Verdant could figure out what was going on, the cake creature rapidly shrank down. The mysterious being’s sudden shrinking caused Verdant to suddenly plummet down to the stomach floor.
As Verdant groaned and tried to lift himself back onto his hooves, he saw that the light from the creature had died down and now it looked very different.
Instead of looking like a multi-layered cake, the creature now resembled only the top tier, though it was missing its cream bows and its colors were vastly different. Its one-foot tall body was mostly a dark grey, courtesy of the cream piles that made up its head, torso lower body and stubby arms with three digit hands. Parts of its creamy head resembled hair tipped with white, much like the bottom of its lower body. Atop two of its hair buns were two purple candy bows that matched the creature's eyes.
The cream creature looked rather scared as it gazed around the massive chamber of flesh. Verdant laid down on his belly to look the little being in the eye.
“Hey, it’s okay, little buddy,” Verdant softly said to the creature that looked almost on the verge of tears. “I’ve been through this sort of thing a bunch of times before and I promise that I can safely get you out of here.”
The dark cream being gave a sniffle as it moved a bit closer to the earth pony. “Alcremie?”
“Is that what your kind is called? Alcremie?” Verdant asked as the being gently placed a hand on his snout.
“Cremie.” The creature nodded.
“Well, I’ve never seen anything like an Alcremie before,” Verdant said before he gently gave the creature a nuzzle. “I hope I’m not being rude, but what would you… y’know, identify as?”
Slightly pulling back, the Alcremie used its tiny arms to draw a circle with a line descending from the bottom before striking a second line through the middle of the first one.
“Alright. You’re a girl,” Verdant said as he slowly stood up. “Do you have a name besides just being called your species?”
The Alcremie quickly shook her head side to side.
“Okay. Would it be alright if I called you… Crème Noire?” Verdant asked as he gave his head a slight tilt.
The Alcremie brought a hand to her chin to ponder his question. After a brief moment of thought, she smiled and nodded to Verdant. “Alcremie!”
“Alright then, Crème Noire,” Verdant said as he sat down and picked up the Alcremie. “I’ll find you a nice place to stay. In the meantime, let’s get out of here.”
Reaching into his vest once more, Verdant grabbed the tin and cracked it open. He then grabbed a pill and lobbed it over to the bubbling lake of digestive juices.
“Hold on tight,” Verdant said as he hugged Crème Noire close to his chest. “This is going to be a bumpy ride.”
The lake rapidly bubbled and spread throughout the stomach. The two occupants were quickly carried up towards the top of the stomach before the massive bubble beneath them burst.
The two rocketed up the esophagus with intense force as the noise from the explosive gas rumbled behind them. Crème Noire clenched Verdant’s vest as the stallion saw the approaching uvula.
***
That’s odd… Celestia pondered as she gazed down at her gargantuan belly as it suddenly went from feeling somewhat full to empty. What’s going on in there?
Down below her, the colossal alicorn saw Luna landing on the ground by the tossed staff just before a flash of light appeared nearby. From the light stumbled Twilight Sparkle, her fellow element bearers and Spike.
“Princess Luna!” Twilight said as she quickly ran up to her side. “We saw the red skies over Canterlot and we’ve come… to…” The violet mare said as her eyes fell upon the city covered in cream and her mentor who was now several times the size of the royal palace.
“Fret not, Twilight Sparkle,” Luna said as she plucked the staff from the ground. “My sister and I were able to take care of things on our own this time. Now all that’s left is some clean up.”
“Oh, I’ll help!” Pinkie Pie exclaimed before she took a running leap into cream like a fox leaping into snow.
“Hmm… I think I’ll help too.” Spike said as he went up to one of the cream piles and stuck one of his fingers into it before quickly pulling it out and shaking his hand to get the cream off. “Yowch, that really hurt!”
“What?!” Twilight quickly rushed up to Spike and looked over his hand, seeing minor burns on the digit that had touched the cream. She then turned her attention to the cream and flared her horn to try to analyze it. “That’s odd. This… cream seems to be normal, save for the fact it has a magical energy that from what I can tell is oddly harmful to dragons.”
“This is most odd,” Luna said as she looked over the pile by Twilight. “We should take samples for further analy-”
A thunderous burp struck the city, coming from the alabaster alicorn. The force from the gaseous expulsion knocked over the ponies in the courtyard while shattering many windows throughout the capital as the sound of the belch spread all the way to Manehattan.
Before Luna could get back into her hooves, she was knocked back down by a green coated earth pony that had crashed into her.
“UMM… PARDON ME…” Celestia’s apology echoed throughout the city as her face turned completely crimson.
As Luna tried to push herself back up, she saw herself looking into the wincing face of Verdant Range.
“Um… good afternoon, Your Highness. Sorry for crashing into you,” Verdant said as he hobbled off of the alicorn of night, allowing the gathered assemblage to see the cream creature he carried in his forelegs.
“Apology accepted, young stallion,” Luna said as she got back onto her hooves. “Is… is that the creature that my sister devoured?”
“Yeah, she is.” Verdant gave the creature a gentle hug. “She’s apparently what’s called an Alcremie and she’s okay with being called Crème Noire.”
“Hmm… Fascinating,” Twilight said as she looked over Crème Noire, who looked somewhat scared of her.
“I don’t think she’d like to be examined like a science project. I think she just wants a nice place to stay.” Verdant said as he felt Crème Noire tighten her grip on his vest.
“Oh, the poor thing,” Fluttershy said as she made her way up to Twilight’s side. “If you want, I can give you a nice place to stay.”
“Cremie.” Crème Noire looked away from the pegasus mare before rubbing her face against Verdant’s chest.
“I… I think she’d like to stay with me.” Verdant said, somewhat surprised by the Alcremie’s attachment to him.
“Are you sure?” Fluttershy asked as she moved a bit closer. “I’ve got plenty of food and there’d be a lot of animals you could make friends with.”
Crème Noire looked back to Fluttershy with an annoyed look on her face before holding up one of her hands with her index finger extended. From that finger, a ball of fire appeared, making Fluttershy quickly back up.
“Okay, Crème Noire,” Fluttershy nervously said as she almost bumped into Applejack. “It’s your choice.”
“Are you sure that you’ll be able to take care of this… Crème Noire?” Princess Luna asked as the Alcremie extinguished her mystical fire.
“I think I can,” Verdant said before giving Crème Noire a light nuzzle. “I mean, I deal with pretty crazy stuff all the time. I think I can handle her.”
“Very well.” Luna nodded as a small smile formed on her face as she saw Crème Noire reaching into one of Verdant’s vest pockets. “I bid thee a farewell and entrust you with this… pocket monster.”
***
A few hours later, High Gear hopped off the train to Canterlot and much to her surprise, Verdant was standing by the doorway she just stepped through.
“Wait, Verdant? You’re not in a stomach?” The hornless unicorn asked before her eyes fell upon the cream creature that rode on his back. “Wait, what the heck is that thing?”
“Long story, but the cliffsnotes are this is my new pet, Crème Noire the Alcremie and I ended up in two stomachs earlier, so I’m now only one away from getting my sandwich,” Verdant said before he slung a foreleg over Gear’s shoulder and guided her towards a bench.
“Seriously? What is it with you ending up in multiple stomach’s recently?” High Gear asked as they neared the bench. “Whose stomachs did you end up in anyway?”
“Hers,” Verdant used his free foreleg to point to Crème Noire, who was enjoying her pony ride. “And hers.” The shamrock stallion pointed his hoof forward.
Following the direction he pointed, Gear’s face fell at the stunning sight of the gigantic Celestia as she patiently sat in the distance, waiting for her spell to wear off.
“Oh, come on,” Verdant said as he sat down on the bench with Crème Noire moving into his forelegs. “Not only have you seen her that big before, but you’ve been inside her.”
“Yeah well,” Gear quickly said as she tried to gather her thoughts. “One, I technically haven’t seen her that big before because I was shrunk while she remained her normal size and two, it’s still freaky as all Tartarus seeing her like that.”
High Gear took a deep breath before sitting down on the bench and sighing. “So, since it’ll be a while before a train to Vanhoover’s ready, mind giving me the long version of the story?”
“Alright,” Verdant said as he laid back against the bench. “According to Princess Luna, it all started when Dr. Glowing Doorway tried to test a portal experiment.”
High Gear’s eye twitched at the mention of the mare’s name. “That bitch,” She said through gritted teeth.
***
In another world, four people were standing within a vast field with disappointed looks on their faces.
One person in particular was a young man with short brown hair and icy blue eyes. He was dressed in a yellow shirt under a green jacket, black jogging pants with white stripes running down the sides, white gloves, forest green socks and white sneakers. On his right wrist was a metallic band.
“Aww, dammit!” The green dressed man said before angrily snapping his fingers. “I was hoping to catch that shiny Alcremie.”
“Well, maybe we’ll get lucky with another Max Raid,” a blue haired girl in a blue hoodie and faded black jeans came up to his side and put a hand on his shoulder. “C’mon, Verdant. Let’s head to Bob’s Your Uncle in Circhester and I’ll treat you to dinner.”
Verdant let out a sigh before looking his friend in her green eyes. “Thanks, Jaylin. Hopefully we’ll get lucky again with the next Max Raid.
