The seas have quite the unusual visitor today, though not an unfamiliar one: An ENORMOUS anthro lizard, roughly 170 feet tall! He's a bit of a celebrity in the seas, the one and only being to rival a blue whale in size.

For now, he's decided to carefully sit down and watch the fish of a fairly small coral reef, thankful for his exceptionally good eyesight since getting goggles - or indeed, any other clothing - is entirely out of the question. He hates hurting anyone, so he keeps his distance just to be sure. After a little while, a passing blue whale comes by for a better look at the giant lizard, and he smiles at them, always finding it a little funny how he dwarfs what was previously the biggest kind of creature in the world.

You'd certainly have a tough time hugging him, I think your only option would be the end of his tail, even his fingers are too big for hugging!

Did an RP based on this with squirtlerocks. Here's the transcript, continued in the replies to this:

S: it was a pretty peaceful day at the beach, except for this 170 foot tall giant lizard that was going into the ocean, his giant size would be very intimidating for someone who's much much smaller, nearby a charizard was flying above the ocean, heading towards the beach when all of a sudden they spot this enormous lizard wading out into the water, and of course they thought they were the big one here as they look much smaller compared to the huge lizard, they of course got extremely scared, stopping mid flight as they hover for now
"Ahhhhh!!!!! What is that thing?!?!"

L: The huge lizard is looking down as he walks, taking it slow and very carefully avoiding stepping on anything he shouldn't. Because of his caution, he doesn't see the charizard yet, and seems too far to hear them either.

S: the charizard meanwhile tries to find some way around the giant lizard, but he accidentally bumps into them, which is definitely gonna get the giant lizard's attention

L: Despite his enormous size, the lizard certainly does feel the bump, though to him it's more as if a particularly large fly hit him, and he looks down at the charizard, giving them a smile. Oddly, his mouth doesn't move, but a voice fills the charizard's head. "Hello there. You look... Well, scared."

S: "Whoa! It spoke! G-get away from me! Don't hurt me!" the charizard slowly backs away, being careful not to fall into the water, while also making himself more visible to the giant lizard

L: The lizard stops walking, watching them. "It's okay, I'll do everything I can to keep from hurting you. Honestly, I always feel AWFUL when I end up hurting someone because of my size..."

S: the charizard slowly flies up to become face to face with the giant lizard, look away fearfully
"Y-your not gonna hurt me?? But giants like you always hurt people! How can I trust you?"

L: "I don't blame you for not trusting me." He lifts up a huge hand to just under the charizard so they have something to stand on. "But I really do only want the best for you tiny folks."

S: the charizard was hesitant but he lowers himself down so he stands on the lizard's hand
"Well, you don't seem very aggressive, in fact I sense you have a very calming aura... maybe I can trust you after all, even tho I've never seen a giant lizard before, how did you get so big? Aren't lizards typically tiny?"

L: "I'm... Not entirely sure. The first thing I remember was just sitting on a cliff that was just a little taller than I am. I've tried to figure out how I got this way, but I haven't found anything."

S: "Hmm, strange... very strange... well, I guess for once I'm meeting someone who's bigger then me, that's a first... Name's Leon by the way, so uhh...whatcha doing here?"

L: "I'm Trent. I was just heading out for a swim, since the ocean is the only place big enough for me to do that. There isn't much I have to worry about stepping on out there either, which is always nice."

S: "I see, well this particular ocean is quite deep I've heard, your quite adventurous Trent, heh... I could never go in water, that doesn't fit well to being a fire type"

L: "Well, no better lifeguard than a giant, right? I could pull you out of deep water without even going fully under!"

S: "Well I guess that's nice...but still, I've never even been in water, let alone submerge...I'm scared"

L: "You could try shallow water first, if you want. I can just get some water in my hand and you can try out being in that."

S: "Well, I guess I could try that...but still I don't know... again I've never ever been in water..."

L: "We'll give that a shot at least, and see if you like it. If you don't, that's fine, maybe I could just swim on the surface and you can relax on my head."

S: "I suppose...it doesn't hurt to try at least..." deep down inside Leon was very nervous, but he really wants to give it a try

L: "Alright, let me get some water for you." Trent slowly lowers his hand down, eventually reaching the point where water starts flowing into it. He lets his hand fill about halfway before raising it again, there now being about 3 feet of water. "How's this for a start?"

S: "Yikes!!!" at that moment Leon wanted to hop off Trent's hand and fly up, but because he's relatively big, he's able to stand in the 3 feet of water, looking at his feet which are now submerged
"Oh...my....goodness! This is...something else"

L: "So, what do you think? Made sure to keep it fairly shallow so you don't have to swim just yet."

S: "It's um...well, not as bad as I thought it would be... at least my tail flame is powerful enough to withstand water, least from what I've heard..."

L: "Well, glad it's alright for you! Whenever you're ready, let me know and I'll get some more water in there." Trent smiles down at Leon as he watches them.

S: after a while, Leon sighs a bit then looks back at Trent
"Ok...I think I'm ready for more then..."

L: "Alright, I'll fill my hand completely, so get ready to need to swim." Trent lowers his hand again to fill it more, this time up to the top with about 6 feet of water, then he raises his hand again.

S: "W-wait a minute, I just said I can't swim!! What do I do?!"
Leon panics as the water fills up to 6 feet, moving his feet frantically

L: "C-crap, I don't remember you saying that!" Trent opens his hand a little more than it already is, enough of the water pouring out that Leon can just stand, though it's still higher than the first time. "Sorry about that!"

S: "I said I've never been in water, therefore I can't swim... ugh!" Trent is clearly afraid but is trying to relax

L: "Y-yeah, I should've paid more attention..." Trent sighs, making a fairly strong wind blow by, though not strong enough to be an issue. "Sorry, I don't often talk to people."

S: "I can see that... just be careful... I really panicked there... like quite a bit..."

Leon looks up at Trent with a worried expression, he's supposed to trust Trent but it's off to a rocky spot so far

L: "Um... Hey, once you feel okay with going underwater, you can just hold onto me instead of swimming, I wouldn't mind that!"

S: "Well...I guess that would help, but I still would like to learn how to swim yknow... at least a little bit..."

L: "It'd be hard for me to teach you at this size, but I can try... You know how dogs swim? That works for people as well."

S: "The doggy paddle? Well, it mean it's worth a shot I guess... I've seen it done before with a dog pokemon I saw..."

L: "It should be fairly easy, it's how I first started being able to swim. There should be enough water in my hand for you to try it without worrying about sinking."

S: "Well...ok, lemme see if i can remember this..." Leon tries out the doggy paddle, it seems to work a little bit, it's not the best moves tho
"Like this?"

L: "Hey, that's a lot better than nothing! Good work!"

S: "Thanks...heh" Leon stops after a bit "So now that I got that done...guess now I should work on submerging, which I'm terrified of doing"

L: "Don't worry, if something ends up going wrong you can just stand right back up and be perfectly fine."

S: "True... ugh, I don't know...but I have to at least try it so, I guess I will then..."

L: "Whenever you're ready. I don't mind waiting a while." Trent slowly, carefully sits down, doing his best to not jostle Leon around.

S: it took 15 minutes for Leon to get ready, but eventually he speaks up
"Ok, I'm ready..."

L: "There you go! And I suppose you technically won't be alone for this, will you? Also, don't worry about not being able to talk to me, this telepathy goes both ways."

S: "I find it strange your using telepathy, mainly because your a lizard, can you not talk out loud or something?"

L: "I can, but... At my size, my voice is really loud, and it tends to hurt small people unless I whisper. So, with a lot of effort, I learned how to talk like this instead."

S: "I guess that makes sense, your a giant therefore you have a very loud voice, well I think that's pretty cool you learned how to use telepathy, heh"

L: "Thanks! I wish more giants took that kind of care, too many just don't care about people like you at all... Well, it's not all THAT many, but I think all of us should care."

S: "I agree, you take the name gentle giant seriously here, and I'm normally a gentle giant myself around tiny pokemon..."

L: "Glad you're starting to feel better about me, even with the rough start that we had..."

S: "Yeah, your not so bad! Anyways..." Leon looks down at the water below, still frightened about submerging

L: "Yeah, we should still get on with that at some point... I'd go down with you, 'cause I think that would help, but obviously I can't do that."

S: "I know it's because your giant but, I don't think I can submerge by myself to be honest, and between you and me, I don't even know the basics of submerging in general so I wouldn't know what to do" Leon laughs nervously at admitting that

L: "Maybe the water down on the beach would work, instead of just in my hand... Then I could sort of go under with you by laying down, but I'd have to be some distance away for that or it's just gonna be my chin."

S: "Well...I guess I have to try something so, yeah ok then let's do it"

L: "Okay, here." Trent lowers his hand down so Leon can climb out, the water in it mostly pouring away as he does.

S: Leon carefully climbs out of trent's hand, settling down at the water that's close by to the beach

L: Trent gets up and takes a couple steps into deep water. "This should get me deep enough..." His mental voice is slightly more faint at this distance, his telepathy seemingly having a fairly short range limit. He lays down, keeping his head just high enough to breathe as he looks at Leon.

S: Leon then doggy paddles to the spot close to where Trent is
"Guess this is it huh? Oh jeez"

L: "I'll be right here to help you up if anything goes wrong, alright? Already got my hand in a good position for that."

S: "Yeah... but as I said before, I don't know what to do once I'm submerged, what if I accidently breathe in water?!"

L: "Right, yeah... If you pinch your nostrils shut, that should be enough to keep the water out. Given that you can fly, I think there's a decent chance you can see fine underwater as well."

S: "Maybe...I won't know until I try it... ok, I'll try that then" Leon does what Trent suggested, pinching his nose shut with his clawed fingers, his body instinctively taking a breath before he lowers into the water, but immediately his eyes stung from the water and comes back up, gasping in the air and whimpering
"My eyes stinged! It hurt real badly! Don't think this is gonna work... I'm a fire type not a water type!"

L: "I was worried about that... I'm not sure there's goggles around, and I don't exactly have any to give you either..."

S: "Wait...I think there was a little shop nearby that sells them, I remember always seeing it... I could go there and get some..."

L: "Oh, that'd work! Think I know what one you mean, too... Do you want to ride me there? It'll probably be faster than you going on your own."

S: "Sure thing, that'll be great! Thanks!" Leon goes into the air enough so he can hold onto trent's giant shoulders

L: Trent smiles as he gets up. "This is my first time carrying someone, this is cool!" He walks away from the water toward the shop, going quite a bit faster than Leon would be able to fly.

S: "And this is the first time I've ever held onto someone, usually I carry little pokemon around, heh...I kinda like this!" pretty soon they get to the shop, and Leon flies off of Trent and back to the ground
"Thanks for the lift! I'll be right back!" Leon then goes inside the shop

L: Trent nods, and carefully sits down as he waits for Leon to return, curling his tail in front of himself so he can keep track of it.

S: 10 minutes later, Leon comes back outside with a pair of red-orange swimming goggles resting on his forehead
"I got them!"

L: "You certainly made a good choice, the color of those suits you pretty well!"

S: Leon gives a slight blush at that, smiling
"Thanks! I thought this color was pretty cool when I saw them! It's perfect for me!"

"The guy at the shop was so confused, he litteraly didn't expect a charizard like me to ask for swimming goggles, his reaction was hilarious! Hehe!"

L: "Yeah, can't imagine it's a common thing for fire types to be up for swimming like you are!"

S: "Nope, I don't think I know a single fire type that would wanna be up for swimming, but I guess you somehow managed to convince me, heh"

L: "I always do my best to help people be comfortable around me. Guess it sort of helps with other things, too."

S: "Yeah, and your trying your best here to make sure everything goes well for me... anyways, I guess we can head back then" Leon hops up to hold onto trent's shoulders again

L: "Yep, let's get going." Trent gets up and walks back to the beach, roughly where he'd been before he and Leon had left to get goggles.

S: Leon hops off again and goes over towards the water again
"Well, let's try this thing again then shall we? Heh"

L: "Should go better this time, now that your eyes won't hurt." Trent lays down like he had last time, waiting for Leon to be ready to go under.

S: Leon gets in the same position as last time, now lowering his goggles over his eyes, he looks around briefly
"Man, sure does feel strange wearing these, do I at least look good?"

L: "You sure do! Makes me kind of wish I had things to wear myself, but there's nothing out there that's been made specifically for me... My eyes can handle water well, at least."

S: "Well as long as I look good then that's all that's matter so thank you" Leon smiles a bit, then looks down at the water below

L: "Whenever you're ready, let's do this. You pretty much already did it once, so I can't imagine this'll be much issue now."

S: "A-alright..." Leon takes a deep breath, both for air and to calm himself down, he holds his breath, pinches his nose shut again and dives underwater, this time however managing to stay down there, but he's very nervous

L: Trent quickly takes a breath and lowers his head down, the water barely even reaching his forehead as he smiles at Leon with puffed cheeks. "There you go, good work!"

S: Leon's own cheeks puff up as well, looking at Trent a bit worringly as he holds his breath, he tries to speak in his mind to Trent
"T-this feels so weird... I'm always used to breathing in and now I can't down here"

L: It does seem Trent heard them. "Yeah, it takes some getting used to... But I'm not gonna let you drown, you don't need to worry."

S: Leon blows some bubbles from his mouth and tries to look around underwater, keeping his nose pinched shut
"It's like a whole new world down here... I did say earlier this was a very deep ocean, I bet you'll be able to submerge your whole body and be pretty far from the surface because of how deep this is...heh"

L: "Yep, I'm fairly familiar with this area, this is one of the few places in the world where even I can have a normal swim!"

S: "That's pretty cool! Now I'm actually interested in exploring around, but there's a slight problem...I feel like lungs are burning, I'm a fire type shouldn't be able to resist that?" Leon's face is already red as hes never held his breath this long before

L: "It's a different sort of burning that you've got in there, it's your body telling you to go back up and breathe. It's not really heat, so you don't have to worry that you're actually burning inside."

S: "Hmm, well I guess that's good... I guess I better listen to what my body says and go up then" Leon then does so, gasping in for air a bit heavily, his face returning to normal

L: Trent calmly exhales as he raises his head again. "So, how was your first proper dive?"

S: "To be completely honest with you, pretty incredible... I never would have guessed I would be diving down underwater like that, and I'm glad I did... even tho I can't breathe down there and all"

L: "Glad you like it! If you're feeling confident, we can head out into the ocean together and I can show you around some?"

S: "Hmm, well sure! Sounds good to me! Would love to explore around with you! Plus I'm curious to see how long I can hold my breath down there..."

L: "And I could give you some of my air as well, I can make air bubbles for you that basically won't impact how long I've got down there myself."

S: "Huh? What do you mean you could make air bubbles? What would that do for me?" Leon doesn't seem to understand how the air bubbles work, he's that bad at this water related stuff

L: "You can breathe them in instead of going to the surface! It does take my own air to make those, and I can't make them all that big, but with the size difference between us neither of those should be issues."

S: "Oh really? Ha! That's actually pretty handy, I guess in case you get deep underwater or your too lazy to go up and breathe then you can have those air bubbles, very interesting!"

L: "I like giving them to dolphins and whales, so I already have some practice. We might want to try that here before we go deep though, just in case you have some trouble with breathing them."

S: "Good point...yeah we better do that, and uhhh...I have a secret that no other fire type knows about but..." Leon leans in and whispers to trent "I secretly love dolphins, but I've never ever met one in person"

L: "Well, we might happen to see some, wouldn't be the first time for me around here! And I'm not an uncommon sight for aquatic things, so they shouldn't be scared of me either."

S: "Oooh boy! That'll be so great if we meet some! Hehe! Alright for now let's practice this air bubble thing now" Leon takes a deep breath and holds it, pinching his nose shut again and diving back underwater in the same spot they were in last time

L: Trent dips his head mostly underwater again, and brings his finger and thumb to his lips before blowing slightly. A large bubble forms, about 2 feet wide, and he holds it to Leon.

S: "Whoa... that's huge" being extra careful not to pop it with his clawed hand he takes the bubble from Trent, he puts his mouth around the bubble and inhales it slowly
"Wow...that felt refreshing"

L: "If that's too big for you, I can do them smaller. But, I'm glad it's easy for you to breathe those in!"

S: "Maybe make them a tad bit smaller, but yeah it's not that bad!" Leon heads back up to the surface, gasping lightly for the fresh air

L: Trent raises his head. "Yeah, smaller for the next times. Anyway, are you ready to start exploring?"

S: "Uhh yeah! Most definitely I'm ready! I will admit I'm a tad bit nervous to go deeper underwater but I'm still excited!"

L: "It might not feel all that deep with how fast we'll be able to go, but let me know if the water pressure starts being an issue, alright?"

S: "Shoot, I forgot about the water pressure... isn't there a way to like deal with that or something?"

L: "...Not that I know of, no, you kind of just have to get used to it... But it's not THAT bad, we can still get you to a fairly decent depth."

S: "Well, alright then... I'm usually the adventurous type of pokemon anyways, so going deeper is just a challenge for me to conquer, heh"

L: "Yeah, I've heard charizards are tough, I'm sure you can handle it." Trent gets up, offering a hand for Leon to stand on. "Let's go find a good spot to head underwater."

S: "Ok bud!" Leon hops up on trent's hand, steadying himself to make sure he doesn't fall

L: With Leon on him, Trent starts wading deeper into the water, soon getting up to his neck in it. "I'll have to start swimming myself soon, so this is probably the spot to actually dive."

S: "I told you this ocean was really deep! I'll sure be so cool to explore around and hope to meet some dolphins! That'll really make my day...hehe!"

L: "Even if we don't end up finding any, I'm sure this'll still be fun for both of us!" Trent starts taking deep breaths to get ready for the dive, his breathing making quite a lot of wind, though he makes sure Leon will be at least mostly out of its path.

S: Leon meanwhile takes some deep breathes himself, seemingly hoping by doing this he'll last longer underwater

L: "Good of you to do this too, this helps you hold your breath longer. It'll only really last until the first time you breathe one of my bubbles, though."

S: "Hmm, well I guess it's still good to prepare right?" Leon continues taking some deep breathes

L: "Yep, every little bit helps. Make sure you get a good grip on me as well, don't want to end up falling off." Trent seems about ready to dive, just waiting on Leon at this point.

S: "Ok, I'll hold on good and tight!" Leon takes a couple more breathes then he holds one of them in, holding onto Trent with one arm and pinching his nose with the other, signaling he's also ready to dive

L: Trent gasps in one more time and holds his breath, switching to swimming before diving underwater. To him, this area is still fairly shallow, but it's deep enough he can swim without issue.

S: as Leon gets down with Trent, his cheeks puff up as the water rushes past his head, he looks around...if he was by himself this area would be pretty deep to him, but thanks to Trent it didn't seem all that bad, looking around curiously and gesturing to a deeper section of the water to trent

L: "Yep, let's keep going deeper, see what's down there today..." Water rushes past as Trent, thanks to his size, swims much, MUCH faster than Leon would ever be able to on their own, though to Trent this is simply a casual speed.

S: "Whoa!!!" Leon makes sure to hold on tight as trent swims down "Jeez! Your fast! Haha!" he smiles and continues to look around for anything interesting, little did he know he was gonna get his wish come true and meet some dolphins!

L: "Haha, that's why I told you to get a good grip!" A little after the surface isn't visible any more, Trent reaches the deepest point of the section he and Leon are in, and floats just above the seabed as he looks around. Before too long, there's some distant squeaks and whistles... A pod of dolphins is swimming to the two!

S: Leon almost gasps in the water at what he just heard, he turns to his right and sees the pod of dolphins! You can see the pure excitement growing on his face when he sees them...he looked up briefly and did see how far down he is, but he doesn't seem to care for the moment
"Omg omg omg!!!! I see dolphins!!! No way!!!!"

L: "Perfect! Go on and play with them! I'd join in, but at my size that's a little hard to do." Trent adjusts himself to sit down on the bottom.

S: "Heh, it's ok... I hope these dolphins are nice to me" swimming off of Trent, Leon sinks down some and swims over to one of the dolphins in the pod, hoping they are friendly to him

L: The dolphins do seem friendly! Several swim to Leon to examine them, understandably not having seen a charizard before, while others seem to greet Trent.

S: Leon smiles a bit shyly, still starstruck over seeing real dolphins, he decides to speak out loud to one of them, not even minding that it's gonna be his first time bubbletalking
"Hellblo!"

L: They don't seem able to talk, but a couple wave to Leon. Trent looks down at the charizard. "You know, there's something with my telepathy I've been working on that you might like... Pick one of the dolphins here. Trust me on this."

S: Leon goes back to telepathic speak
"Well...alright, I'll trust you then" he looks at the dolphins then points to a particular one he seems to already like "That one"

L: "Alright, hang on a sec." Trent looks at that dolphin, which looks back at him. After a couple seconds, it nods and looks at Leon... Then, a different voice enters Leon's mind. "Hi! Did it work?"

S: "What the!?" Leon swims back a bit as he hears a different voice "Wait a minute, is that dolphin using telepathic speak too?! Omg!"

L: Trent nods, and talks through the connection again. "Technically, yeah! I'm able to sort of route their thoughts through me so you can talk to them as well."

Dolphin: "I remember him mentioning he was trying to figure this out a pretty long time ago, it's so cool to see he finally got it!"

S: "Wow this is awesome! I'm actually talking to a dolphin!! My dream has come true!" Leon swims closer to the dolphin, his tail even wagging happily which almost never happens, his face starting to turn a tad bit red but it's barely noticeable, the pinching of his nose seems to make him cuter in the process

L: Dolphin: "So, what exactly are you? I've never seen anything like you..." She slowly swims around Leon, a bit confused.

S: "Hehe, well...I'm a charizard, and yes I'm a fire type but with the help of my good friend trent I'm slowly starting to become more comfortable in the water, bet you have seen anything like me before huh?"

L: Dolphin: "I mean, like... VAGUELY similar things, but none of those were underwater. I guess fire types don't typically do all that well in water, huh?"

S: "Normally no we don't do well in water, but as you can see I'm doing pretty well myself for a fire type, got the goggles on and everything, I probably look ridiculous pinching my nose like this...heh but it's effective!" his face gains a bit more red to be noticeable but he doesn't mind

L: Dolphin: "Ah, you don't look too weird, don't worry about it! You do sort of look a little low on breath, though... Trent can give you a bubble to breathe if you want, he does that all the time."

Trent: "Yeah, you do look you could use a bubble at this point."

S: "Hmm... nah, I think I'm gonna push it a bit...besides I feel fine, don't worry I'll definitely let you know if I need to breathe" Leon gives a determined look as he turns back to the dolphin "Well as long as I don't look weird pinching my nose then we're good"

L: Dolphin: "Yeah, you're not the only one I've seen do that, no shame in it. Even Trent used to!"

Trent blushes a little. "I mean, you didn't need to tell him..."

S: "Haha really? How funny! Wish I could have been there to see that" Leon looks up at Trent and giggles out some bubbles

L: Trent smiles back at Leon, and reaches up to pinch his own nostrils shut. "I guess I may as well."

S: Leon's smile gets bigger as he sees trent pinch his nose shut
"Hehehe! Now I don't feel as weird because someone else is pinching their nose shut, I won't lie you look kinda cute like that, don't you agree?" he turns to the dolphin with a happy smile

L: The dolphin looks up at Trent's face, then back to Leon with a nod. "He does, yeah!"

Trent: "Well, glad you two think that!"

S: "Quite adorable, haha...but obviously my nose pinch is much cuter!" Leon looks at Trent with a very cute expression, one that's pretty impressive for a charizard, and his nose pinch on top of that really takes the cake

L: The dolphin looks between Leon and Trent... "Yeah, yours is cuter, charizard guy!"

Trent: "Ah well, at least I'm in second."

S: "Hehe! Well second in this case is last!" he turns back to the dolphin "Oh I forgot, my name is Leon" his red blush now covers his face completely, and he starts letting some more bubbles loose to deal with some strain, but he continues to ignore it

L: Trent: "...Yeah, no one else here has a nose..."

Dolphin: "Cool to meet you, Leon! I'm... Well, Trent nicknamed me Emma, since he can't pronounce my real name, and I imagine you can't either, so just call me Emma."

S: "Emma huh? Cute name I like it! It's great to meet you too!"

L: Emma: "I'm definitely glad you managed to get past your fear of water for this, it's always nice to meet someone from the surface world!"

S: "Hehe, well thanks... it wasn't really easy at first but trent was a big help so now here I am!" Leon grunts slightly in strain, his whole face deep red

L: Trent: "You sure you still don't want a bubble? You're getting a lot more red than normal."

Emma: "I'd probably be heading up to breathe by now..."

S: Leon is visibly nervous but he shakes his head
"N-no, I can go a little longer...."

L: Emma: "Well, alright. Pushing your breath holding can be fun, after all."

Trent: "It's good practice, too."

S: Leon nods in agreement, sitting down on the seafloor and focusing on his breath now, keeping his nose pinched tight

L: Emma floats next to Leon, watching him hold his breath. Trent keeps an eye on Leon as well, ready to make a bubble once he needs to.

S: Leon keeps going for 5 more minutes, eventually constant bubbles escape his mouth as he whimpers loudly, he looks at Trent, wanting a bubble now

L: Trent: "Yep, here you go." The same way as before, he blows a bubble and holds onto it, passing it to Leon. This time it's only about a foot and a half wide.

Emma is blushing some as well, but she seems to want to keep holding her breath for now.

S: Leon grabs it and quickly inhales the bubble, sighing a bit in relief
"Ahhh...much better, wow that felt pretty long! I'm already improving so much!"

L: Trent: "I think that was about... 9 minutes or so? That's great for this being one of your first dives!"

Emma: "Yeah, great job!"

S: "9 minutes?! Wow! That's awesome! I didn't think I would improve that fast!"

L: Emma: "And that's about half my record, too! If this is what you're pretty much starting out at, you're gonna be better than me someday!"

S: "Whoa! Better then a dolphin?? That'll be so cool! And something to brag about to my buddies, hehe!" Leon wags his tail happily

L: Trent: "Definitely! Plus, I bet they'll be pretty jealous you've made friends with a giant, too!"

S: "Oooh yeah! Good point on that! They won't ever believe it! Heck they won't believe I'm currently submerged underwater right now!"

L: Emma looks up at Trent. "Can I get a bubble real quick?"

Trent: "Sure, one sec." He blows out another bubble and gently presses it against Emma's blowhole, at which point she breathes it in, her blush fading away.

Emma: "Thanks."

S: "Hehe, now we're good and ready for more fun! It's actually pretty relaxing being down here, it's quiet and peaceful...it's a great spot to get away from the harsh surface world"

L: Trent: "It really is nice down here... Don't have to worry about accidentally stepping on anything important nearly as much, and it's got the only non-giants that even come close to my size."

Emma: "From what I've heard about the land, it's not really all that good compared to the ocean."

S: "And now I see why, it's very peaceful down here and I love it!" a few bubbles escape his mouth as leon smiles happily

L: Trent: "If I had gills, I'd probably just live here. It's a lot less stressful." By now, and from the bubbles he'd been giving, he has a very slight blush.

S: "That'll be neat to live underwater, if I didn't have any friends or buddies on the surface world and if I had gills too, I would totally live down here too to be completely honest with ya"

L: Emma looks around at the other dolphins. "We're probably gonna be going soon... I'd stay with you, but I don't want to lose track of them."

S: suddenly Leon's smile fades away into a sad frown
"Aw man, I don't want you to go... you just got here!"

L: Emma: "Yeah, sorry... But I know we'll meet up again at some point!"

L: Trent: "Dolphins tend to not stick around all that long... But there's still a lot to see down here, and we've got plenty of time for that."

S: "But... I like Emma, not any others, she's grown to me...I-I can't let her go!" Leon is visibly tearing up, clearly upset that Emma has to leave

L: Emma: "...Maybe I can convince the others to stay for a while longer, hang on." She turns to the other dolphins, letting out some squeaks, clicks, and whistles as several dolphins stop to respond similarly.

Trent: "Always wish I could understand that..."

S: "Wouldn't that be nice...heh" Leon looks over to see what's going on

L: There's a few nods among the dolphins... Then, Emma turns back to Leon with a smile. "Well, they like this place, so... We're gonna stay a while!"

S: Leon smiles again at what he just heard
"Really?? You guys are gonna stay? Alright!!" he swims over and gives Emma a big hug

L: Emma happily hugs Leon back. "Yep, lots of fish around for us! Plus, having Trent nearby is always nice, he's really nice to us."

Trent: "Yeah, and I like to help them if they get themselves in trouble as well, which thankfully isn't often."

S: "Yeah trent is awesome, I'll admit I was pretty scared the first time we met, but I'm actually quite happy we did end up meeting in the end" Leon then swims over to give trent a hug, thankfully managing it quite well despite the size difference, his face is back to being a tad bit red as tiny bubbles escape his mouth

L: Trent: "I'm still so glad you ended up liking me!" He does his best to sort of hug Leon back by just laying a finger across their back, even that being a bit wider than the charizard is tall. "I wish giants didn't have the reputation we do, I've been trying to help change it."

Emma: "Yeah, there's another I've seen in the ocean that was really mean..."

S: "Oh really? Oh man, that sounds scary, I hope they still aren't around!"

L: Trent: "I'm sure I could take them if they showed up... But I hope they don't, I really don't like fighting."

S: "It sure would be scary if they did show up...but I rather not think about it now, I wanna focus on spending more time with Emma and exploring around"

L: Emma: "Same here! My friends and I are gonna be spreading out for a while, so I can stick with you guys while we explore!"

Trent: "Sounds good to me! Do you want to keep looking around, Leon?"

S: "Absolutely! Let's do it! And I think I'm gonna swim around myself if that's ok" Leon blushes a tad more more from the need for air but is still doing well

L: Trent: "Fine by me, I don't mind going slow."

Emma: "Me neither!"

S: "Thanks guys, hehe" Leon then doggy paddles in a random direction, waiting for trent and Emma to follow, the movement of his swimming a bit embressing since it's really the only swim movement he knows of

L: Neither Trent nor Emma mind Leon's swimming style, as Emma follows the charizard and Trent gets up to do the same, the latter walking instead of swimming. There's a dull thud with each slow step the giant takes.

S: "Don't mind this, it's the only swimming style I was taught, heh" Leon blushes a tad from saying that, continuing to paddle away and looking around for anything interesting, adjusting his red-orange goggles a bit

L: Trent: "Yeah, I'm not really the best teacher for that kind of thing..."

Emma: "I'd help, but I've heard swimming like a dolphin is kind of tough for people with legs, and I don't exactly know any other way to swim."

S: "Heh, it's alright...as long as I can move forward then we're good, oh hey Emma you like my goggles? It's a perfect color for me!"

L: Emma: "Oh, that's what those are? Ha, I thought that was just how charizards looked!" Emma comes close to get a better look now that she's sure of what those are.

S: "You really thought these were part of me? Ha! Nope, my eyes stinged when I tried to go underwater without them, so I had to go and get myself a pair, and I think I look good in them!" Leon moves his goggles a tad to prove it's not attached to him

L: "They do look good on you! And yeah, not all that familiar with clothing in general, plus the color is really similar to your skin."

S: "That's why I like them so much, it's the perfect color for me! You ain't ever gonna see another charizard with swimming goggles like these! Never thought I would actually enjoy wearing them, plus it's super helpful down here to look for stuff and all that"

L: "Yeah, I've heard most people from the surface can't see well underwater... Cool that there's something that can be done about that!"

S: "Mmhm yeah! Glad they invented these! Anyways let's see what we can find!" Leon bravely paddles deeper into the water to see what could be lurking around, his face now noticeably red as he let's some bubbles loose from his mouth, his nose still pinched shut

L: Up ahead, there's a shipwreck!

Trent: "Oh, nice, you two see that?" He points to it.

Emma: "Yep! Those are always fun to explore!"

S: "Whoa is that a shipwreck?? I've always wanted to explore one of those! Never been able to...until now!"

L: Trent: "I'll wait by while you two head in. If anything goes wrong, let me know and I'll start pulling it apart to get you out."

S: "Heh, well alright... shall we see what secrets are lurking in there Emma?" Leon's face is fully red, and he grunts a bit in strain "Actually um, maybe I should have a full air supply before heading in there😅"

L: Emma: "Yeah, I'll get a breath too."

Trent nods, and blows a bubble that he passes to Leon, and a second he gives to Emma. His blush is getting bigger, but he doesn't seem to mind yet.

S: "Thanks trent" Leon takes the bubble and inhales it, his face back to normal
"You may wanna surface soon cause now your face is red, I'm not saying you have too I'm just letting you know"

L: Trent: "Yeah, I should. I'll head up and come back. Keep in mind, you two won't be able to talk to each other while I'm gone."

Emma: "Well, that shouldn't be much of an issue, right?"

S: "...well we can just wait before we head into the shipwreck and let trent go up and breathe, I kinda wanna still be able to speak with you inside there Emma"

L: Emma: "Yeah, I'm fine with waiting. Go ahead up, Trent!"

Trent: "I'll be back with you two soon." He jumps off the bottom, quickly going out of view.

S: Leon then just floats in place, trying to preserve his air for the trip inside the shipwreck as he waits for trent to come back

L: Emma waits as well... After about 20 seconds, Trent returns, swimming down before letting himself settle onto the seabed, sitting down. "Alright, go ahead!"

S: "Sweet! Alright Emma let's go!" Leon paddles his way to the shipwreck

L: Emma: "Right behind you!" She follows Leon to the shipwreck, curiously looking around the outside of it with him.

S: "Wow... this looks surreal... I can't believe I'm actually looking at a real shipwreck, this is awesome! Now we gotta find a way inside..." Leon looks around for some kind of entrance inside the shipwreck

L: Emma: "I haven't seen very many either..." After a little more searching, Emma finds an opening. "Oh, here!"

S: "Nice find Emma!" Leon paddles over to the opening, managing to barely fit inside it and into the shipwreck "Come on!"

L: Emma manages to squeeze through as well, then looks around. "Just as interesting as they always are... Let me know if you find something cool that I miss!"

S: "Oh I will! I'm gonna make sure to have fun with this!" Leon then happily looks around the shipwreck, paddling forward a bit deeper inside it to hopefully find something interesting

L: Staying close so she doesn't get separated from Leon, Emma slowly swims through the shipwreck, continuing to search...

S: it appears this particular shipwreck sunk here fairly recently... there's seems to be bedrooms around here and even a kitchen... but what they hear next will shock you, somebody seems to be trying to yell for help, it's muffled of course since they are submerged but they can hear it...
"W-whoa! What was that?!"

L: "Th-that sounded like a person! It's a good thing my hearing's so good, I think I know where they're at!" Emma starts more quickly moving through, looking for whoever it is that's in trouble.

S: "Oh heck! That doesn't sound good!" Leon quickly follows Emma, soon they find a room where there is wood pieces everywhere and even some medal pieces...the cry seems to come from inside this room... pretty soon they discover the cause of it... A cubone stuck underneith a piece of medal with a bright blue face signaling they have been down here for a long time, they appear young in age too

L: Trent's voice can be heard. "Wait, what's going on in there?"

Emma: "There's some weird, like, skull-headed person trapped in here, and I think they're running out of breath!" She immediately swims to the metal and starts trying to lift it up.

S: "That's no skull-headed person, that's a pokemon called cubone! This isn't good, they have a blue face!" Leon takes his hand off of his nose to help Emma in lifting the piece of medal using both of his hands, trying to get the poor little cubone free

L: Trent: "J-jeez, um... Should I open up the ship to help get them out?"

Emma: "It's probably gonna scare them, but I think it'd be a good idea, I can't make bubbles like you!" Her mental voice is a bit strained as she rapidly swims against the metal...

S: "I wouldn't do that if I were you, I don't wanna scare the little guy... besides he's just gonna get more scared when they see you" after a bit of effort tho they finally managed to lift the medal piece away, freeing the cubone... they cover their mouth and frantically kick their legs upwards to a decently sized air pocket above which Emma nor Leon saw before, gasping heavily

L: Emma quickly heads up to the air pocket as well. "Trent, do you think you could link them into the telepathy so I can talk to them?"

Trent: "Maybe, but I don't know if it'll work with so many at once..." Outside, Trent focuses and closes his eyes...

Emma, trying to talk to the cubone: "Hey, can you hear me? Are you okay?"

S: Leon also headed up into the air pocket...the cubone meanwhile looks around a bit scared, but they seem to hear Emma, trying to communicate back
Cubone - "Y-y-yeah, I do hear you...thanks for rescuing me, that was soooo scary!!"

Leon - "Glad your ok..."

the cubone hears Leon since he can talk out loud unlike Emma

L: Emma: "Okay, good... We know the way out, so let's get you back outside. Unless you were looking for something here?"

Trent, a bit strained: "S-sounds like things are okay in there..."

S: Cubone - "N-no...I got dragged down here when the ship sunk, and nobody heard me... thank goodness you guys were here"

Leon - "Aw man...that was a close one then..."

Cubone - "There's no way I'm going back down there! Being underwater gives me so much anxiety, even tho I can swim perfectly fine..."

L: Emma: "From what I've heard, Leon here used to feel the same." She gestures to the charizard. "But he managed to get past it! If a fire type can do it, I'm sure you can too!"

S: Leon - "Yeah don't sweat it! I'll be alright I promise!"

Cubone - "No way! I've been through enough already!" the cubone climbs onto a little ledge that only they can get to since they are so tiny and sits there, clearly upset

L: Emma: "I know being deep underwater can be a bit scary sometimes, but you're gonna be fine! It won't even take that long!"

Trent: "A-all 3 of us will be able to keep you safe easy!"

S: Leon - "Exactly! Hey Trent you alright? You sound a bit strained? Are you already low on breath?"

S: Cubone - "I don't know guys, I don't think my little body can handle anymore today, again I've already been through enough, so just leave me alone! I'm just never gonna get outta here then..."

L: Trent: "I-it's just taking a lot of focus to keep this up... I-I'm fine..."

Emma: "It's gonna suck if you just stay in here... Don't you want to get to see your friends again?"

S: the cubone sighs sadly
"I don't have any friends... I'm all alone, which is why nobody came to my rescue"

Leon - "No friends? Yikes, that's so sad..."

L: Emma: "That's awful... But, we can be your friends if you want!

Trent: "Y-yeah, for sure!"

S: Leon - "Absolutely!"

Cubone - "Awww, thanks guys...that means a lot to me... all my life I've been so lonely and now I finally have someone"

L: Emma does her best to give the cubone a hug. "3 is definitely a great start, at least!"

S: Leon - "For sure!" Leon also gives the cubone a hug

the cubone smiles a tad and nuzzles both of them back, starting to feel a little better now

L: Emma, after letting go of the cubone: "So, as much as you're still not gonna like it, we should get going soon..."

S: Leon let's go of the cubone too
"Yeah, we do unfortunately"

Cubone - "...Aw man! I don't wanna submerge!"

L: Emma: "You sure you want to miss a chance to swim with a dolphin? I've heard a lot of people love it!"

Trent: "P-plus, the only reason you can talk to her right now is because of me."

S: the cubone sighs
"Yeah I do really like dolphins...they are amazing creatures"

Leon - "Yeah! You definitely shouldn't miss this chance!"

L: Emma: "And if you want, I'll let you ride on me too, I don't mind!"

Trent: "O-or I could carry you up if you want to go even faster!"

S: Cubone - "Hmm, decisions decisions... I'm already comfortable around you *referring to Emma* so I think I'll just ride on you to get outta here then...I'm still very scared..."

L: Emma: "And you're probably gonna get more scared when we get outside and you see Trent... Just keep in mind, all he wants is to help you."

S: "Huh? Oh, well thanks for the heads up I guess..."

Leon - "Yeah he may seem intimating but all he wants is to help everyone who needs it"

L: Trent: "N-not gonna blame you if you freak out, I get that a lot."

Emma: "Anyway, we should get going soon, so get yourselves ready."

S: Cubone - "...N-no!!! I can't I can't!"

Leon - "Oh jeez..."

L: Emma: "Come on, you can do this! I know you can!"

Trent: "I-I doubt you'll even be underwater for more than a minute!"

S: the cubone looks down at the water below, very much frightened

"You got this little buddy! Don't give up!"

Cubone - "I-i-i... ugh!"

L: Emma: "We can't just stay here, this air isn't going to last forever..."

S: Leon - "Yeah... hey maybe try pinching your nose shut, it helped me relax a bit more underwater"

Cubone - "....Does that really work?"

L: Trent: "I-it does! Does also mean you've got one less hand free, but it's nice if you're not feeling confident."

S: "Well....if it helps I guess I should try it... I really don't wanna submerge, but I guess I have no choice"

Leon - "I promise it's a huge help! You'll do fine!"

L: Emma: "You're gonna be okay, you've got nothing to worry about!"

Trent: "Y-you'll be up at the surface before you know it!"

S: Cubone - "...alright...I guess let's do this then"

Leon - "Alright!"

L: Emma: "Okay, you two do what you need to to get ready! I don't have to do much, I can hold my breath a long time regardless."

S: "Alright then"

Cubone - "Fine..."

L: Emma decides to prepare anyway, taking some deep breaths.

S: the cubone and Leon also take some deep breathes, the cubone trying to stay calm

L: Emma gets into position for the cubone to hold onto her, seemingly pretty much ready now.

S: the cubone sighs and holds onto Emma

L: After diving slowly so the cubone has a chance to hold their breath, Emma starts swimming out of the shipwreck the way she and Leon had come in.
lolboy4
4 months, 1 week ago
S: but as soon as the cubone held their breath and submerged they immediately got scared and headed back into the air pocket space

L: Emma quickly comes back up with the cubone. "Come on, you're so close!"

S: "No way! I can't do that! That's wayyy too scary!"

Leon - "...looks like this is gonna be harder then I thought"

L: Emma: "There HAS to be something we can do to help you with this!"

Trent: "I-I can give you air on the way up if you need me to."

S: Cubone - "No I can't! I really just can't! This whole ship accident must have spooked me so much that I can't go under..."

Leon - "Yikes..."

L: Emma: "Hm... What if you could get to the surface without leaving the ship? Would that work?"

S: Cubone - "Now how would that be possible??"

Leon - "I'm sorry but there's no way that's gonna work if I'm 100% honest with you Emma"

L: Trent: "I-I can actually do that if you think it'll help, cubone guy, I'm really strong."

Emma: "What do you think? Is it worth a try?"

S: "I don't think it's gonna be that easy Emma, I've got a sudden feeling that somehow it won't work out, and i don't wanna risk making the situation worse then it already is"

the cubone whimpers

L: Trent: "Y-yeah, now that I think about it, the ship might end up breaking apart if I do that..."

Emma: "Then I'm pretty much out of ideas at this point..."

S: the cubone cries silently at the thoughts of being trapped here forever

Leon - "Oh man...this is tough... we have to give him some kind of motivation to go underwater, but I don't know how exactly to approach doing that, surely there's something we could do that'll help this poor cubone out"

L: Trent: "D-don't you want to meet all your friends? Th-there's no way you'll see me unless you leave there, I'm too big to go in."

Emma: "Yeah, exactly! You'll never see Trent if you just stay here!"

S: Cubone - "What if I don't wanna see him? You said he's intimating"

L: Trent: "I-I am, yeah, but you can get used to me... L-Leon did."

Emma: "Same with me! Trent's really nice, he wouldn't hurt anyone!"

S: Leon - "For sure! He's super nice!"

the cubone sighs again
Cubone - "...maybe I should just get this over with, but ugh! I hate this!"

L: Emma: "I know, I'd probably want to just relax for a while after being in a sinking ship too, but we really have to get going at some point."

S: Leon - "Exactly..."

Cubone - "You guys are right...ugh, this is gonna suck so much, I hate being submerged!"

L: Emma: "It'll hardly be any time at all, we probably would've reached the surface by now if you hadn't come back in here."

S: "Now you tell me... I'm sorry I can't help that I'm scared!"

Leon - "We understand completely... but we really gotta go now..."

Cubone - ".....alright...."

L: Emma: "Just keep your eyes closed, maybe that'll help." She moves next to the cubone so they'll be able to hold her when they're ready.

S: Leon - "Yeah try that and pinch your nose too, I think both of those combined will help a lot"

Cubone - "...Fine... I do wanna get outta here after all..." very very hesitant the cubone climbs on Emma again, visibly very scared

L: Emma: "I'll go as fast as I can once we get moving." She waits for the cubone to be ready.

Trent: "A-and I can lift you all up if you want, we can be at the surface in seconds."

S: "Please, just get me out of here...in any way you can, I'm so scared right now!"

Leon - "It's ok little buddy" Leon gently pets the cubone "I'll be alright"

the cubone whimpers loudly and takes deep breathes to mentally and physically prepare themselves, and Leon takes some breathes too

L: Trent: "H-hopefully seeing me won't screw this up for you..."

Emma: "Yeah, that'd probably be an issue..."

S: "Well his eyes will be closed so he wouldn't see trent either way"

Cubone - "Y-yeah" the cubone tries to get comfortable on Emma to make this as smooth as possible
lolboy4
4 months, 1 week ago
L: Emma: "That'd be for the best, yeah." Eventually, when she believes the cubone to be ready, she takes a breath and dives under once again, hoping the cubone won't leave again.

S: the cubone continues to whimper, but he takes a deep breath, pinching his little nose shut and shutting his eyes as water rushes over him, all while still holding onto Emma and not leaving this time

Leon - "Yes!" Leon takes a deep breath and pinches his own nose before diving underwater too

L: Trent: "O-oh, are they staying under this time?"

Emma: "Yep, they are!" She starts swimming back to the way she and Leon had entered the shipwreck through.

S: the cubone is constantly whimpering and being super scared as he keeps his nose and eyes shut tight....Leon follows closely behind them, swimming just as fast as how Emma is going

Leon - "Good job cubone your doing great!"

L: Emma: "We'll be back outside before too much longer, then we'll head straight up for the surface!"

S: Cubone - "G-g-g-get me outta here!!! I'm so scared!!! Ahhhh!!!!" the cubone let's out a constant stream of bubbles from their mouth, shaking with fear

Leon - "Man he really is scared! Poor little guy..."

L: Emma: "Hang in there!" After just a few more seconds, she gets back outside with the cubone.

Trent: "Th-there you all are, here..." He reaches out a hand for everyone to get onto, already blushing just a little from the effort of keeping the mental connections going.

S: Leon quickly gets on trent's hand, motioning for Emma to do the same

"Come on hurry! We can't let this cubone suffer any longer!"

Cubone - "Mmm!!!!!! I hate it! I hate it!!! Please hurry!!!"

L: Emma gets onto Trent's hand, laying down on it. "Okay, go ahead!"

Trent nods, and starts swimming up, a strong current passing by everyone on his hand.

S: with how fast trent is currently swimming, they get up to the surface really quickly, the cubone gasps in the air and opens his eyes, finally relieved to see the surface world

Cubone - "It's over!! It's finally over!" they didn't see trent yet

Leon - "You did it!"

L: Trent lightly gasps upon surfacing. "Y-yep, finally got you out of there!"

Emma: "Told you it wouldn't be long!"

S: the cubone then looks up and notices how giant trent is

Cubone - "Whoa! He's so...big!! Jeez!"

Leon - "Yeah trent may be big but he's really really nice"

Cubone - "I-i can sense it...now somebody get ne to dryland! I don't wanna be here any longer!"

L: Trent smiles down at the cubone. "G-glad you're not freaking out about me, a lot of people do." Keeping his hand above the water, he starts to swim back to shore.

S: Leon smiles at the Cubone, putting his goggles on his forehead for now, as they all eventually reach the shore, the cubone immediately hopping off trent's hand and back on the ground

Cubone - "Finally! Solid ground!"

L: Trent lowers his hand so Emma can swim out, which she does.

Emma: "Well, glad we could help you out of there!"

S: Leon flies down to the ground

Leon - "Yeah! We're just happy your safe"

Cubone - "Thanks again guys...that means a lot to me... well I guess I should head home then, even tho I don't really wanna leave you guys..."

Leon - "Well, we're all probably gonna keep exploring underwater for a bit longer so you probably wouldn't wanna deal with that again😅"

L: Trent: "Y-yeah, I don't really intend on leaving the water just yet. B-but, I'm obviously easy to find when I'm nearby, so this definitely won't be the only time we meet up!"

Emma: "Hope to see you again sometime! And that you can overcome your fear of diving!"

S: "Yeah!"

Cubone - "...Aww man, I'm gonna be lonely again...I don't want that... I've never even had one happy moment"

Leon - "...not one? Jeez... this is saddest cubone I've ever met, not that it's a bad thing... but yknow"

L: Trent: "Y-you've definitely had at least one happy moment, we got you out of that shipwreck together!"

Emma: "Yeah, even one is better than nothing!"

S: Cubone - "I don't count that one because I didn't have a great time escaping... I was scared the whole time... and while it was nice to see the surface world again, I just...well still not as happy as I should be"

Leon - "Yikes..."

L: Emma: "...Well, I'm sure you'll have something nice happen at some point..."

Trent: "D-definitely! I-it might just take a while."

S: Cubone - "Ugh!"

Leon - "Well, guess we better part ways then...glad to see your safe cubone"

Cubone - "No please I don't wanna be lonely again!"

L: Trent: "...Y-yeah, we can't just leave them... M-maybe we could go see if there's something cool in the shipwreck and bring it back here for you?"

Emma: "I'd be down to go back there, we didn't really see a whole lot of it. You don't have to come with us, of course!"

S: "Well...I know that ship pretty well, I was so bored on there I just walked around all over it when it was on the surface, so I know where everything is...even the good stuff hidden... im sure theres valuable treasures in the captain's room, heh"

Leon - "Oooh, really? That's cool!"

L: Emma: "Then we'll have a look in there! I'm sure we'll manage to find something good!"

Trent: "Should be pretty easy to get in, I can just knock down a wall."

S: Cubone - "Wait... you'll still be leaving me behind, and i don't want that.... I'm gonna be crazy for saying this but...c-c-can I come?"

Leon - "Really? After everything you've been through just to get back here?"

L: Emma: "Are you sure? Maybe I could stay behind with you, and the others can take care of this..."

Trent: "I mean, it'd be cool if all of us went, but you really don't have to."

S: "Yeah we're not gonna push you to come with us, Emma is totally cool staying with you"

Cubone - "..." the cubone thinks for a moment, they really wanna enjoy themselves and trying not to think about this certain accident they had, so they responded with "...Yeah, I wanna go... I do wanna get better at diving underwater and all, I need to stop being so scared all the time, I suck at holding my breath too and I wanna get better..."

L: Trent: "Alright, if you're sure... You and Leon can hop onto my head for now, I'm sure Emma can do a decent job of keeping up with me."

Emma: "Yeah, I'll be next to you guys."

S: the cubone nods
Leon - "Here, I'll give you a lift..." Leon let's the cubone on them and flies up to trent's head, settling down on it, then pulls out an extra pair of red goggles and gives them to the cubone "This should help you out further"

Cubone - "Thank you..." the cubone takes the goggles and puts them over their eyes, making them more cute then before

L: Trent smiles up at the two, then wades back into the water before starting to swim, Emma swimming alongside him.

S: the cubone is nervous of course but tries to calm down

Leon - "You'll do great bud, and if it's too much for you just let us know alright?"

Cubone - "Ok..."

L: Emma: "It's probably gonna feel weird for you to go back down there... But we'll be right with you the whole time."

Trent: "Other than me, of course, but I'll still be talking to you. Keeping up this many connections at once is getting easier."

S: "I wanted to do this...so, let's do it...even tho I'm scared"

Leon hugs the cubone
Leon - "You got it buddy! Just do the same thing you did the last time you went underwater, only thie time you'll actually be able to see down there and you won't have to close your eyes"

L: Emma: "Hopefully you still remember the way to the captain's room, otherwise this might take a little while..."

Trent: "It wouldn't happen to be visible from outside, would it? I could just poke a hole into it for you all to go in through."

S: Cubone - "I'm pretty sure I remember the way to the captain's room, even if the ship is all discombobulated..."

Leon - "I trust cubone to guide us then"

L: Trent: "Alright, suit yourselves. Everyone get some deep breaths in you, I can't give you bubbles while you're in the ship."

Emma starts getting ready for the dive.

S: Cubone - "Oh boy..." the cubone takes some deep breathes to prepare himself for the dive and Leon does the same

L: Trent and Emma continue their deep breathing while waiting for Leon and the cubone to dive off Trent.

S: Leon and the cubone continue their deep breathing, eventually Leon seems ready to go, the cubone is hesitant but seems ready too
Leon - "Alright little guy, we're gonna jump off trent and go into the water, they will follow us close behind"

Cubone - "Jump!? Are you nuts!? I thought this was gonna be a slow submerge or something!"

L: Trent: "Oh, I can just go down slow if that makes it better." He starts to slowly let himself get lower in the water.

S: "T-thats better..."

Leon - "Good thinking, I wasn't sure if the cubone would 100% agree with jumping off"

both of them take the last deep breathes that they can

L: Trent: "Yeah, the few times I've had people on me when I'm in water, I generally have them dive off me like that."

Emma: "I've seen it a couple times, it looks like fun!"

S: "I would honestly would wanna try it myself as it looks pretty exciting, but I don't wanna scare the cubone so it's best we wait until way later to try that once the cubone gets comfortable underwater"

water slowly covers trent's body, it's gonna be pretty soon until his head goes under

L: Trent takes one last breath before holding it as his mouth and nose go underwater.

Emma stays on the surface with the others, watching the cubone in case they freak out again.

S: Leon - "Alright get ready to hold your breath cubone!" Leon takes a last deep breath and holds it, ready to be submerged

Cubone - "Ahhhhh!!!!!!" the cubone panics briefly, not even realizing that he's gonna be submerged sooner then he thought, so he hasn't held his breath yet

L: Trent, managing to hear the cubone, stops where he is. "Was that still too fast?"

Emma: "They're just not holding their breath..."

S: Leon - "No...they ain't, you alright little guy?"

Cubone - "I-im sorry... I totally lost it, I don't know why I couldn't bring myself to hold my breath again..."

L: Trent rises up again so he can breathe. "Would you prefer being in my hand instead? That way Emma can be right next to you too."

S: "Hmmm, I guess it would help...sure, I guess"

Leon - "I'll go there too so we are all close by each other"

L: Trent: "Alright then, here you go." He raises one of his hands up to his head so Leon and the cubone can get onto it.

S: Leon and the cubone get on his hand, the cubone trying his hardest to calm down and make sure he held his breath this time when he had to

L: Trent lowers that hand just enough that water starts pouring into it, at which point Emma gets in as well, giving the cubone a hug.

Emma: "You can do this, you've already gone under at least twice just today!"

S: Cubone - "and I hated both of those times..." the cubone hugged Emma back

Leon - "Well this time will be different! You're gonna enjoy it this time and be brave!"

L: Emma: "Might take a little while, but I'll do my best to help you enjoy this!"

Trent: "Same here! Even if I won't be able to do much while you're in the ship."

S: "I'll help in anyway I can as well, cause being underwater maybe scary at first but once you really stay down and look around it's really beautiful"

Cubone - "Alright alright! I'll do this thing!"

L: Emma: "There you go! I'm sure being underwater will grow on you eventually!"

Trent: "And this coming dive probably still won't be all that long, too!"

S: Leon - "That's the spirit little buddy! We're right here with ya!"

the cubone starts taking some deep breathes again, this time ready to go underwater no matter what it takes

L: After another round of preparation from the others, Trent starts slowly lowering his hand.

S: to make sure the cubone goes underwater Leon places a hand on the cubone's shoulder to reassure them, and just when the water will submerge them, both Leon and the cubone hold their breath and pinch their noses

L: Emma and Trent both hold their breath as well, and smile as they see the cubone is going underwater.

Emma swims to the cubone. "Do you want to hold onto me again?"

S: the cubone nods, smiling a tad as he moves from trent's hand to hold onto Emma again...Leon meanwhile hops off trent's hand to paddle on his own towards the shipwreck

L: Emma swims down with the cubone while Trent gradually sinks as well, having pretty much perfectly guessed where the shipwreck was as they all progress toward it.

S: the cubone is actually a lot more calm this time around then before, his cheeks slightly puffing up with air as he tries to keep holding his breath

Leon - "Hey good job cubone, you actually look a lot more calm this time!"

L: Emma: "Yeah, you FEEL a lot more calm too!"

Trent: "Glad we've already had such an improvement!"

S: Cubone - "Heh, yknow what...this isn't as bad as I thought..." the cubone looks around curiously now able to see with the goggles on

Leon - "I told you!"

L: Trent: "Guess those goggles made a pretty big difference, huh?"

Emma: "Sure seems that way to me!"

S: Cubone - "Yeah, I guess so! This is kinda neat if I'm honest"

Leon - "See? Going underwater is not bad at all, it's actually really relaxing, even when you can't breathe normally and all"

L: The group soon arrives at the shipwreck again, with Trent sitting down next to it. "Alright, you guys be careful in there. If you get lost, I can break open a way out for you."

S: "Alright, sounds good...you ready to explore cubone?"

Cubone - "As ready as I'll ever be..." the cubone's face is slightly red signaling he's not the best breath holder but he's managing for now

L: Trent: "Oh, real quick..." He blows out a big bubble and holds it out to the group. "One of you hold onto this so you'll have an air source in there."

Emma: "Think Leon's gonna have to do that, he's the biggest of us 3."

S: Leon - "And risk my clawed fingers popping it? I don't think so😅"

Cubone - "He's got a point..."

L: Trent: "Didn't think of that... Actually, with those windows on the ship, maybe I could just push a bubble in there when I see you?"

Emma: "That'd probably work!"

S: Leon - "Sure, that'll work"

Cubone - "Ok then..."

L: Trent: "Alright, I'll do my best to keep track of you all. Good luck in there!"

Emma: "Let's get going, we've only got so long." She starts swimming to the entrance she and Leon had found earlier.

S: the cubone holds on tight to Emma as they all squeeze into the entrance, once they get inside, the cubone hops off of Emma and starts to swim
Cubone - "I'm pretty sure I remember where the captain's room is at, yall can follow me!"

Leon - "Ok then!"

L: Emma: "Yep, lead the way!" She follows after the cubone, making sure to keep track of the way back out as well.

S: the cubone kicks his way through the ship, letting some bubbles out from his mouth as his face is turning slightly more red, Leon's face is also getting red a bit...but the trio soon reach the captain's room, the door is closed tho

Cubone - "Here we are, looks like the door is still locked...after all that? Wow"

L: Emma: "Surprising that it's held up so well... Would one of you be able to break through? I probably can't do that myself."

S: Leon - "I'm pretty strong, so I should be able to knock it down"

Cubone - "No need, I got this...being small has its perks" the cubone sticks his tiny hand that usnt pinching his nose through the lock and gently picks the lock skillfully, which in terms opens the door to the flooded captain room "Aha!"

Leon - "Whoa! That's kinda cool!"

L: Emma: "Nice, I didn't even consider that! Alright, let's see what we've got in here!" Emma swims into the room.

4 months, 1 week ago
S: the cubone and leon follows close behind, looking around for anything cool... there seems to be a giant safe nearby that isn't even flooded with water on the inside, but it requires a combination code to unlock it

L: Emma: "That'll be what we're looking for! But, we're not gonna be breaking that... Spread out, the combination has to be nearby." She starts searching.

S: both the cubone and Leon nod and swim in different directions to look for the combination code

Leon - "Where could it be..."

Cubone - "I-i don't know" the cubone grunts a tad in strain from holding his breath as his face reddens more

L: Emma: "You two still doing okay on air?"

Trent: "Is there a window in there? I'll pass you all some bubbles." The group can hear movement outside as Trent starts checking random windows.

S: Leon - "I'm fine, but cubone might need some air"

Cubone - "Y-yeah" they both look for a window and thankfully there's one, and Leon punches it open which shatters the glass

L: A couple seconds later, they can see Trent's eye looking in through the window. "Ah, yep, there you are! One sec!" He moves away from the window, blows a big bubble, and pushes it through into the room. "There you go!"

S: "Thank you!" the cubone grabs the bubble and inhales some of it, his face returning to normal...he then offers it to Leon, who shrugs and inhales some of it too...then he finally offers it to Emma to see if she wants some too

L: Emma: "Thanks, but I'll be fine for now, I can hold my breath a pretty long time."

S: "Suit yourself" the cubone then just inhales the rest of the bubble

L: Emma: "So, still no sign of the safe's combination on my end... Trent could certainly get it open, if we can bring it out to him."

Trent: "Yeah, I could pretty easily just break the door off it."

S: Leon - "Nope no need! I found the combination!" Leon pulls out a waterproof piece of paper with the combination written on it

Cubone - "Nice job!"

L: Emma: "Hey, there we go! One of you guys will have to enter it, I can't really do much with my flippers."

S: Leon - "Not a problem!" Leon swims over to the safe and starts to enter the combination number, but the cubone stops him

Cubone - "Wait a second, with how strong that safe is I doubt it's even flooded inside of the safe, so water is gonna start rushing inside if we start to go in there, and what if something valuable is right inside it and gets ruined?"

Leon - "Ooh, good point cubone... I didn't think about that"

L: Emma: "Didn't occur to me either... We'd better get it to the surface first. Just gotta bring it outside, then Trent can carry it."

Trent: "Hopefully it's still light enough you 3 can move it."

S: "Uhh, there's no moving this safe, it's too big...plus I think it's attached to the wall or something" Leon look around and there's no way they could pick up the safe and move it, it's not a regular old safe, it's one of those huge ones you would find in a bank

Cubone - "Your right..."

L: Trent: "Then I can just break through and get it out myself. Head out of the ship, and I'll dig the safe out."

Emma: "Yeah, seems like that's gonna be our only option here."

S: "Alright then..." the cubone holds onto Emma again so they can get out of the ship

L: Emma swims back toward the exit of the shipwreck with them, a tiny blush starting to appear on her face.

S: Leon follows behind Emma, not noticing her blush yet, they eventually exit the shipwreck

L: Trent: "Okay, there you all are. Now, let me see here..." He looks in through the same window as before, and he carefully pokes at the ship's hull near there until his finger breaks through into the captain's room. "Should be able to do this..."

Emma: "Man, I'm glad you're nice, it's kind of freaky how easily you can break things like that..."

S: Leon - "I know right? Heh"

Cubone - "Yeah I'm pretty happy he's nice" the cubone's face is back to being slightly red now, same goes for leon

L: Trent: "Yeah, and I can see why some other giants do this for fun... But I'm only gonna intentionally break stuff when I'm told to." There's the sound of tearing wood as he moves his hand through the captain's room, and he soon grabs the safe from it, with it even still attached to its wall. "Got it!"

Emma: "Perfect! Let's head up and go see what's in it!"

S: "Sounds perfect!" but just before they could they hear a deep growling noise nearby, the sounds of the other giant that's here which is not the friendly one

Leon and Cubone - "W-w-what was that?!"

L: Trent quickly looks around, worried for the first time any of them had seen. "C-crap, we need to leave, I know that sound... That's that other giant I mentioned earlier that's mean to small people!"

Emma: "O-oh jeez, this really isn't good..."

S: Cubone - "WHAT?!?! Nobody told me there was gonna be that!!!!"

Leon - "Aww sugar...we gotta go...NOW!!!" the growling gets louder and closer, this giant is close by then they think...

L: Trent gently scoops everyone up in his free hand before jumping off the bottom, trying to get back to the surface before the other giant gets to them.

S: Cubone - "I hope we make it..." the unfriendly giant suddenly appears behind them, chasing them with great speeds

Leon - "Ahhhhhh!!!!!!"

L: Emma: "Th-they're even more intimidating than you, Trent!"

Trent: "I know! J-just hang in there, maybe they won't notice you guys!"

S: without a split second to spare, the cubone is suddenly swiped by the giant monster, and gets dragged down towards the deep dark depths of the water

Cubone - "Ahhhhhhhh!!!! It's got me!!!! ITS GOT ME!!!!!!!"

Leon - "Cubone!!!!"

L: Trent almost yells out, but knows it'll probably hurt the others. Still, he immediately turns around and starts swimming down, swiping at the monster. "Let go of them!" He tries to connect to the monster's mind as well.

S: he manages it successfully
Monster - "Muhahaha!!!!! This small thing will make a nice edition to the others I've drowned before!" the monster swims down deeper and deeper, dragging the poor cubone with them

Cubone - "Somebody....help me!!!!" the cubone covers his mouth and nose to try and preserve as much air as possible

L: Trent: "There's NO way I'm letting you hurt him! Get back here!" By now, he's more mad than scared, dropping the safe and trying to grab the monster so he can fight them properly.

Emma holds on as best as she can, trying to think of a way to help.

S: Leon also holds on too, really hoping the cubone will make it out of this alive...

by now the water is completely dark, the poor cubone is super scared for his life, crying out bubbles as he fights to keep his breath held and not scream out of pure fear

Monster - "Almost to the bottom, then it's fun time! Haha!!!"

L: Trent: "You're not gonna be keeping him down here, you get me!? I'll make sure you never hurt anyone again!"

S: "Ha! I'm not scared of you, you should be scared of me!!" the monster is way bigger then trent as he continues to drag down the cubone, who at this point isn't saying anything as he wants to do everything he can to stay alive, eventually everyone reaches the darkest depths of the water, which spooks Leon a bit

L: The monster's size is definitely a little intimidating to Trent, but he still plans on doing everything he can to stop them, trying to bite them.

Emma is straining a little from the water pressure, and in a bit of need for a breath as well, but she tries her best to stay calm.

S: Leon is struggling a lot with the pressure of the water, his face already red because of it, he hugs Emma to try and take his mind off of this situation

the cubone meanwhile has a completely red face from the amount of fear he's feeling right now, the monster then holds down the cubone at the bottom roughly, trying to get air to escape from him

L: Trent: "Stop it, let GO!" He keeps trying to fight the monster, now starting to worry he might not be able to save the cubone...

S: Monster- "NEVER!!!! Hahaha!!!" the monster fights off trent effortlessly, keeping the cubone pinned down, now his face is blue

Leon - "Poor....cubone....." Leon is struggling a bit to keep his breath in but manages for now

L: Trent starts just constantly beating against the monster, running out of ideas. Even he is starting to blush a little at this point.

Emma: "Leave him alone!"

S: "Yeah...leave him...be!!" the monster doesn't even react to the beating, this particular monster however is no sea monster, meaning he doesn't have gills, and he's trying to hide the fact that he's a bad breath holder too...and he's doing a horrible job at doing that, his face bright red....Leon tries to think of some way to give the cubone air without the monster noticing

L: Emma gets an idea herself, though can't communicate it without the monster hearing... She charges the monster, hitting against it and trying to distract it enough that Trent might be able to give the cubone air.

Trent quickly figures out what Emma is doing, and gets ready to give the cubone a bubble if he gets the chance...

S: that sends the monster back a bit at the sudden charge, releasing the cubone for a brief second while also knocking air out of the monster too, the cubone looks up at trent with a pleading expression

L: Emma pauses for a moment, surprised she'd had that big of an effect on the monster... Before continuing to repeatedly attack it, now realizing it's holding its breath.

Trent grabs the cubone and blows out a bubble for them, holding them in one hand while moving the bubble to them with the other.

S: the cubone immediately inhales the bubble, his face back to normal
Monster - "Hey! Knock it off!" the monster swings his giant arm at Emma, which knocks her away a good 8 feet, and now realizing the cubone is with Trent, he starts getting mad, a bunch of bubbles being released from his mouth

L: Emma: "Ablbablabl!" She loses some air from the hit, her blush now covering her entire face. But, shaking off the hit, she continues attacking the monster.

Trent tries to join in on the fight, going to the opposite side of the monster and taking a few swings at it.

S: even Leon goes in and tries to help defeat the monster, the cubone is shaking with fear meanwhile, hoping this will be over soon

the monster gets really frustrated and knocks away all of them effortlessly
Monster - "ENOUGH!!!! Mmmm!" looking away from he covers his mouth as his whole fave is bright red

L: Trent and Emma just barely manage to keep from losing air from being pushed away.

Trent: "Look, you NEED to stop being so mean, alright!? How can it be fun to torment people that have no way of fighting back!?"

S: Leon barely managed to keep his own air in too, same with cubone

Monster - "I like it ok?! Stop asking stupid questions! Grrrr!!!!" the monster let's out a quiet whimper, he normally surfaces by now but now he can't, constant bubbles escaping his mouth as he covers it

L: Trent: "Well, if you're so eager to drown others, how about you find out how it feels!?" He does his best to grab the monster and keep it down.

S: "Hey! Just what do you think your doing!?" the monster easily escapes trent's grasp, punching them in the face, it might take everyone to keep this monster down

Leon - "It ain't...that easy"

L: Trent: "Mmgh!" He looks at the others. "I-I can't keep them down on my own, help me out with this!"

Emma: "I'll do what I can!" She swims above the monster but stays out of its reach, ready to help hold it down.

S: Leon follows, his face entirely red at this point but he wants to help too

Monster - "You'll never hold me down!!"

the cubone doesn't do anything, too terrified to do much

L: Emma: "Hey, you know I'm strong for my size, and I bet the others are too!"

Trent looks down at the cubone. "Come on, I'm pretty sure this is gonna take all of us!"

S: Cubone - "No way! I'm not going anywhere near that thing!"

Monster - "Chicken!!! Hahaha!!! There's no way I'll work!"

Cubone - "Hey! I'm no chicken...." *the cubone tears up at that, he's slightly upset about that

Leon - "I'm pretty strong too yonow!"

L: Trent: "Think about it, Cubone; if we manage this, the ocean is gonna be less dangerous forever!"

Emma: "Yeah, you'll have even less reason to be afraid of diving out here!"

S: Leon - "Exactly buddy! If we all work together we can defeat this monster once and for all!"

Cubone - "I guess...that's a good point... but he's really scary!"

the monster tries to scare the cubone as much as he can so the cubone stays away, but the cubone is fighting back the urge to be afraid

L: Trent: "I bet they're only trying to scare you off because they know you'll make the difference in this!"

Emma: "Totally! THEY'RE the coward here, not you!"

S: "Hmmph! Your right! Ok, let's do this thing!" now suddenly not scared anymore, the cubone comes over, ready to help hold down the monster

Monster - "You guys ain't nothing! I can drown you all right now if I wanted to!"

L: Trent: "Yeah, likely! Everyone grab them!" He and Emma both rush the monster, trying to grab it and hold it in place.

S: Leon and the cubone do so as well, and with all of then working together they actually managed to keep the monster down, he squirms around but is unable to move

Monster- "What is this?!?! Why can't I move?!"

L: Trent: "Haha, perfect!"

Emma: "Now all we have to do is just wait a while!"

S: Leon - "I-i might need air soon tho... I don't know how long I can keep it up..."

Monster - "Hahaha!! So your gonna have to let go eventually!"

L: Trent: "I can give them air, don't you worry~ We'll be able to keep this up longer than you can hold your breath!"

S: "....oh dear..." the monster whimpers, covering his mouth and nose to keep his breath held

L: Emma: "Sucks, doesn't it? This is what you put people through every time you drown them!"

S: Leon - "Yeah! Now your getting to know how that feels!"

Monster - "Grrrr! This is ridiculous!!! You can't do this to me!" constant bubbles escape the monster as their face turns blue

L: Trent: "What, think it's not fair that you're getting the same treatment you keep giving to others?"

Emma: "That sounds pretty reasonable to me!" Both she and Trent are gradually getting bigger blushes, but they're both trying to ignore their need for air.

S: Leon and the cubone try to ignore their own need for air too as their blushes get bigger

Leon - "Me too!"

Cubone - "Me three!

Monster - "Look I'm sorry ok! Just please let me go!"

L: Trent: "Yeah, no, not believing that for a second. If we let you go, you're just gonna go right back to drowning small people."

Emma: "Definitely. Trent's told me a lot about you, you've had this coming for a long time."

S: "Please! I swear I won't do it anymore! Just don't drown me!!"

Leon - "Nah!" Leon smacks the monster's face which causes more air to escape the monster

Cubone - "Oooh I want a turn!" the cubone smacks the monster too, giggling as he sees the monster's face purple!

L: Emma can't do much without letting go, but she slaps the monster with her tail. "Ha, that's kinda fun!"

Trent gives the monster a smack as well. "And if there was any doubt we wouldn't last long enough before, there certainly isn't now!"

S: the monster whimpers loudly, trying everything to keep his remaining air in, but it slowly failing as a little water sucks up his nose, but manages to swallow it

Leon - "They ain't gonna last too much longer!"

L: Trent: "Any second now... Make sure to stay clear of their mouth, you don't want to get sucked in when they gasp."

Emma: "Y-yeah, that would NOT be good..."

S: Cubone - "Not at all!"

and eventually the monster gasps in water, which causes a powerful current to form, but thankfully everyone manages to get away from his mouth before it was too late

Leon - "There they go!"

4 months, 1 week ago
L: Trent: "Nice, they're pretty much done for at this point!"

Emma: "Better keep holding them just in case, we don't know how long they can handle drowning."

S: Leon - "Well I need air if we're gonna keep going"

Cubone - "Same here..."

the monster seems to handle drowning well, but it won't last forever, practically trying to force the water out of him

L: Emma: "Yeah, I could use some too."

Trent: "Alright, it's gonna be a little risky, just make sure you keep a good hold on them." He blows out a bubble and passes it to Emma, who inhales it, then another to Leon and the cubone.

S: still keeping their grips, Leon and the cubone inhale their bubbles too, although it's a bit more stale this time, but it works fine

the monster meanwhile is pretty close to passing out

L: Trent: "We should be okay to let go now..." He experimentally lets go of the monster, but stays ready to grab them again if they start swimming up.

S: the monster can't even sit up, too weak to even move or speak in the telepathy link and soon enough, they drown

Leon and the cubone give a happy muffled cheer, not even minding they wasting air

Leon and Cubone - "We got them!!!"

L: Trent smiles, and Emma happily whistles.

Trent: "That's one less evil giant to worry about!"

Emma: "I think it's about time we went back up, some actually fresh air would be nice after that."

S: Cubone - "Yes!" the cubone even does a flip in the water happily

Leon - "And we've still got that safe to open!"

L: Trent: "Oh yeah, I almost forgot! It should be somewhere nearby..." After a quick search, he finds the safe sitting in the sand, and picks it up. "Alright, we're good to go!" He offers his free hand to carry everyone up with, and Emma swims onto it.

S: Leon and the cubone get on trent's hand too, both of them smiling happily

L: With everyone secure, Trent jumps off the bottom and starts swimming for the surface, the light quickly returning.

S: everyone eventually surfaces and the cubone and Leon happily gasp in the fresh air

Cubone - "I'll admit, it may have been nice to be underwater, but I sure miss the fresh air!"

Leon - "Me too!"

L: Trent and Emma gasp as well, and Trent starts swimming toward the shore.

Emma: "Always great to get that first fresh breath after a long dive!"

Trent: "Can't wait to see what's in the safe!"

S: Cubone - "We could be rich!!"

Leon - "That'll be awesome!" Soon enough they get to shore
"Alright, time to enter the combination code for this safe*

L: Emma: "Um... Did someone bring the code? I kinda lost track of it."

Trent: "Well, no big deal if we lost it. Plus, this is faster." After setting down the safe, he pulls the door of it, intending to break it open.

S: "Hey slow down buddy" Leon stops trent "I've got this, I remembered the combination" Leon then enters the numbers and the safe slowly opens...inside it? A ton of cash! There's at least 10 million dollars in there!

L: Trent: "H-holy crap, look at all that!"

Emma: "I hardly know anything about money, but even I know that's a HUGE amount!"

S: Leon and the cubone's eyes widen at the amount of cash inside the safe

Leon and cubone - "O...M....G!!!!!"

L: Trent: "I might actually be able to finally get some clothes for myself with that kind of money!"

Emma: "You guys can go ahead and split it between you. Don't worry about me, money's pretty useless in the ocean. Still, this is awesome!"

S: Leon - "I can't even begin to see how much cash is in that safe! This is crazy!"

Cubone - "Now I'm glad I got comfortable submerging, it's safe to say I'm 100% gonna wanna go underwater again soon!"

L: Trent: "Certainly worth all the effort, yeah!"

Emma: "And I bet there's tons more just waiting to be found down there!"

S: Leon - "Yeah that'll be soo cool!"

Cubone - "Absolutely! Thanks again for all your help guys, this is officially my happy moment now!"

L: Emma: "Aw, that's great! I'm sure there's plenty more to come, now that you're rich!"

Trent: "Totally! We're gonna be able to get up to all sorts of stuff!"

S: "That's gonna be so fun! I can't wait!"

Leon - "Me neither, now let's officially split this money up..." Leon does the math and made sure to give Emma, trent, himself and cubone an equal amount of money, which is a lot

L: Emma: "Well, I'm not really sure what I'm gonna do with this, but thanks!"

Trent: "Maybe we could get some kind of suit designed for you that'll let you walk on land..."

S: "Oooh that'll be cool!"

L: Emma: "Yeah, I'd like that! I've always wanted to check out what it's like to be on land!"

Trent: "Then we'll look into making that possible for you!"

S: "Yeah! Totally!"

Cubone - "I can easily say that was indeed an experience, I went from being trapped underwater to now being with friends and being rich!"

L: Trent: "Guess this turned out to be a pretty good day for you after all, huh?"

S: "Yeah!! But it couldn't have happened without you guys, so thank you so so much!" the cubone walks around and hugs everyone

L: Emma hugs them back, while Trent lets them hug his finger.

Trent: "No problem!"

Emma: "It's always great to help people out!"

S: Leon hugs the cubone back, even using his tail to hug him too
Leon - "Yeah! And thank you trent for helping me get comfortable underwater, it was such an honor to meet a real dolphin, and I think Emma is gonna be the best dolphin I've ever met"

L: Trent: "You're welcome! And thanks for helping us take care of that monster, too!"

Emma: "Hey, there's plenty more dolphins out there, I could even introduce you to the others in my pod, too!"

S: "Really? That'll be awesome!! I'm sure they will all love me! Hehe"

L: Emma: "Yeah, especially with you having helped to take down an evil giant!"

Trent: "I'm getting more confident with my telepathy too, so I think I'd be able to let you talk to a few of them at once!"

S: "That'll be so cool!!"

Cubone - "Hey don't count me out! I wanna come back too! I still need to work on my breath holding a bit"

L: Emma: "Of course! They're gonna like both of you guys!"

Trent: "And I'll have plenty of bubbles to give out so you don't need to surface much!"

S: Leon - "That's good!"

Cubone - "Yeah, but next time I'm gonna try not to use them as much so I can practice holding my breath, heh"

L: Trent: "Yep, it'll definitely be good practice for all of you."

Emma: "For sure!"

S: Leon - "Mmhm! And then I'm gonna beat that cubone in a breath holding contest, haha! ;)"

Cubone - "Whaa!? Hey!! I don't turn down no challenge! I could beat you easily! ;)"

L: Emma: "That'll be fun to watch next time!"

Trent: "Yeah, and I'll be sure to keep a couple bubbles ready!"

S: Leon - "We'll see buddy...heh, right now I think I'm definitely done with the water for today"

Cubone - "Same here to be honest"

L: Trent: "I kinda need a break from that too... Guess I'll see you again sometime, Emma."

Emma: "Yeah, think I'm gonna be heading back soon. Looking forward to seeing that suit eventually!"

S: Leon - "I'm gonna miss you Emma..." Leon frowns and hugs Emma tightly

Cubone - "Awww..."

L: Emma hugs Leon back. "Same here... But, I know we'll meet up again at some point."

S: Leon - "I hope so... I'll be thinking about you so i dont ever forget about you" Leon smiles a tad

L: Emma: "Me too!" She smiles back, then starts swimming farther into the water. "See you all again sometime!"

S: "Bye Emma!!!"

Cubone - "Bye bye!!"

both the cubone and Leon waves goodbye to Emma

L: Trent: "It was great to see you again, Emma!"

Emma: "Same with you! Bye guys!" She waves a flipper, before doing a flip and diving underwater.

S: Leon tears up as he sees Emma dive back down, but remains strong

L: Everyone can feel the mental connection with Emma drop as she swims out of range.

L: Trent: "It'll be alright, she did say that she and her pod would be sticking around for a while."

S: Cubone - "Yeah! You'll see her again soon!"

Leon - "Y-yeah, your right... I just really adore Emma, she's so awesome!"

L: "She really is, I really like dolphins too... Kind of can't believe she went right in to fight that monster back there, even with it being so much bigger than her."

S: "Yeah I can't believe that either to be honest..."

Cubone - "Yeah!"

L: "Pretty brave of her... But anyway, how about we start looking for someone that can make that land-walking suit for her, huh?"

S: "Sounds good to me!"

Leon - "Sure!"

L: "Alright, let's gather up our money and get going!" Trent offers a hand for the two to climb onto.

S: the cubone and Leon nods and gathers their money up before getting on trent's hand

L: Trent lifts them up and onto his shoulder, then starts walking with them on him.
