"Going for the record"

Wrapped around the pole he'd installed in his home pool, this snake's practicing holding his breath. He's already pretty good, but today he wants to set a new record for himself, just a little over 2 full minutes past what it already is. He twitches from strain as he checks the watch on his tail to see how much longer he'll have to stay... His odds aren't looking too good.

squirtlerocks07 and I did an RP based on this.

S: on a nice spring day, a snake was going to a local pool to practice holding their breath underwater, wanting to get better, there was only one other person in the pool when the snake got there, which looked like a Cubone, it was swimming around the place while it was holding it's bone club

L: The snake slithers into the water, keeping his head above the surface for now. Knowing that he might worry the cubone, he quickly gives them an explanation of what he's planning. "Don't mind me, I'm just going to be practicing holding my breath down there. I've got a pretty good hold, so I'll be down there a long time."

S: the cubone stops swimming to look at the snake, he tilts his head in confusion
"Huh, I didn't know snakes like the water, something new you learn everyday, I'm decent at breath holding myself... it's not impressive, but it's enough"

L: "Yeah, think I've got a bit of sea snake in me, I've always loved water. My record's about 38 minutes, what's yours?"

S: the cubone gasps
"38 minutes?!?! Holy cow! That's incredible!" he then blushes shyly "M-my record is only 7 minutes, heh"

L: "Well, you could certainly be worse than that... I wouldn't mind you joining me underwater if you want to get in some practice of your own."

S: "Well, I wasn't really planning on doing any diving, but...you know, what the heck, my bone club seems to agree that i should dive" the cubone makes the bone club nod as if it was a real person, then he pulls out a pair of green swim goggles and puts them on, looking cute

L: The snake laughs as the cubone makes their club nod, and watches them put their goggles on. "You look pretty good with those!"

S: the cubone blushes a tad bit more
"Aww thanks, most people think I look cute in my swim goggles, and you look good with your goggles on too!"

L: "Oh, haha, I almost forgot I was wearing these!" The snake adjusts his goggles a bit. "I'm so used to wearing them that it just feels normal to me!"

S: "Oh really? That's interesting.... I hardly wear my goggles because I hardly ever go diving, sometimes if I'm feeling sad or stressed out about something them I go find a nice deep spot in the pool and just stay there... strangely I feel a lot calmer when submerged, just floating around and such... my mom used to be a great swimmer...b-before she...passed away...." the cubone tears up a little

L: "O-oh, she's... That's awful, I can't even imagine how hard that must be..." The snake gently wraps himself around the cubone in a hug.

S: the cubone hugs the snake back
"Yeah... she was my everything... my dad is still around tho, he takes care of me now, but I'll never forget my mom..."

L: "Well, at least you've still got someone..." The snake is silent for a moment. "...Let's, um... Try to get our minds off that."

S: "Y-yeah, I don't really wanna be sad for the rest of the day..."

L: "You did say being underwater helps you calm down, so maybe going for a dive will cheer you up. Better than nothing, at least."

S: "Yeah, that's true... being submerged does help me relax, I've never dove underwater with another person before, the only thing I had to keep company with is my club"

L: "Well, maybe you'll end up liking this even more with someone else underwater to hang out with you!"

S: "I suppose that could be possible, but I won't know until we actually go down underwater together"

L: "We ought to start getting ready for that." The snake starts deeply breathing, wondering if the cubone will know to do so as well.

S: luckily the cubone does know how, he starts deeply breathing as well, even if he's a bit nervous to go underwater after so long

L: Smiling as he sees the cubone knows what they're doing, the snake takes one last deep breath before diving under.

S: the cubone pinches it's tiny nose shut and then takes a final deep breath as well before joining the snake underwater, letting his body sink down

L: The snake relaxes and lets himself sink as well, not really feeling a need to cover his nostrils. He smiles as he watches the cubone sink with him.

S: the cubone smiles back between his puffy cheeks, letting some bubbles loose as they sink, eventually touching the bottom of the pool

L: Once they've both reached the bottom, the snake coils himself up to relax better, a couple little bubbles floating loose.

S: the cubone sits down at the bottom, already feeling a lot better as they turn to face the snake, smiling warmly at them, and with then pinching their nose it makes them look pretty cute

L: The snake nuzzles the cubone some, before moving over to gently hold them again, making himself into a sort of underwater bed for them.

S: the cubone rests his head on the snake, which was surprisingly comfortable, before closing his eyes to relax, his face a tiny bit red

L: After watching the cubone for a moment, the snake sets his head on himself and closes his eyes as well, resting and waiting for someone to need air.

S: the cubone was very calm with the snake, already 4 minutes passing by, the cubone's face turning more red tho in the process

L: Every now and then, the snake looks over at the cubone to check how they're doing. He himself is still perfectly fine, calmly holding his breath with puffed cheeks.

S: eventually, the cubone has hit his record of 7 minutes, his face fully red now, he can keep going if he wants to, but he never really pushed himself before

L: Seeing how red the cubone's face has gone, the snake just keeps watching them now, ready to help if they need him to.

S: but it seems the cubone isn't quite used to the breathless feeling in his lungs, he begins to whine and whimper, letting a lot of bubbles loose, he clutches his club close to his body as if it were a lifeline

L: The snake nuzzles the cubone again, and gestures toward the surface with his head, asking if they still want to stay down.

S: as much as the cubone wants to stay down here and keep the snake company, the burning in his lungs was starting to get the better of him, so he nods saying he wants to go to the surface

L: Nodding, the snake gets up to hop off the bottom and return to the surface with them.

S: the cubone kicks his little legs up to the surface, thankfully not taking too long for them to surface as cubone gasps a bit heavily for air

L: The snake surfaces next to them a moment later, just calmly exhaling. "So, how was that? Better than it normally is?"

S: "Definitely! I felt so much better with you right here, I honestly felt like I could have gone longer then my record, but...I've never really, you know pushed myself before...so I'm not quite used to having low air in my lungs, heh"

L: "It did look like you still had a fair bit of time left, and I think that might've already been more than your record! Good work!"

S: "Really? Well thanks! Honestly your a nice dive partner, I felt at ease with you down there"

L: "I liked having you down there too! I don't usually have anyone on dives with me either, it was nice to not be alone on the bottom."

S: "Well I'm glad I could keep you company!" the cubone smiles happily and cutely

L: "Want to head back down again? This time, think I'll be staying down longer to actually get some practice in for myself."

S: "Sure! Think I could sneak in one more dive before my dad comes to pick me up"

L: "Heh, yeah, can't keep him waiting..." The snake starts preparing himself for the upcoming second dive.

S: "Nope, haha!"
the cubone starts to prepare as well

L: After a while, the snake holds his breath again and lets himself begin to sink back down toward the bottom.

S: the cubone holds his own breath and pinches his nose again before letting himself sink down again as well, both of them touching the bottom once again

L: Like before, the snake coils up so the cubone can relax on him, and he closes his eyes again.

S: the cubone sighs out some bubbles before he relaxes on the snake once again, closing his eyes too

L: Nothing much happens for some time as the two relax on the bottom together, just the occasional tiny bubble leaving them every now and then.

S: Soon enough, we approach the cubone's limit again at 7 minutes, his face a bit less then before, but he remains submerged, determined to test himself this time

L: The snake is happy to see that the cubone is already doing better than last time, and he's able to relax a bit better since he doesn't have to watch them as much this time.

S: the cubone does grunt a little from his need to breathe, but he tries to not think about it

L: Quickly able to tell that the cubone wants to push themselves this time, the snake continues to check on them every now and then.

S: the cubone tries to stay calm even as their need to breathe grows, he moves to cover his mouth as well as their nose

L: While he's a bit concerned about them, the snake keeps watching the cubone and doesn't do anything, trusting that they'll know when enough is enough.

S: as the minutes slowly tick by... The cubone whines a bit more as their face is fully red, but he continues to push himself for as long as he can

L: At this point, even the snake is beginning to blush just a little, though he's still calm. He still stays put as well, just waiting on the cubone to want to surface, whenever that time comes.

S: a total time of just over 12 minutes have been passed and the cubone keeps going, even as his face is blue, more bubbles escaping him

L: Though he's worried the cubone might be going too far, the snake doesn't interrupt them. "Hblang ibln thblere..."

S: now 16 minutes pass by and the cubone is in trouble now, his face slowly turning a little purple as he really struggled to keep his air in, he clutches his bone club to his chest as if it were his best friend comforting him, constant bubbles escaping him even as he tries his best to keep it all in

L: The snake taps the cubone on the shoulder with his tail, then points to the surface with it. "Ibl-Ibl thblink yoblu're gobling toblo fablr!"

S: the cubone is too distracted on his air to notice the snake's desperate plea

L: The snake waits just a bit longer to see if the cubone is going to go up, not wanting to mess up their practice if this is intentional.

S: eventually 20 minutes pass by and now the cubone is in serious trouble, his face fully purple as he really struggles now, shivering in both fear and the lack of air

L: With his own blush spreading across his face, the snake is too worried about the cubone to leave them alone. Holding them with his tail, he starts quickly swimming to the surface with them.

S: "BLBL?!?!" the cubone was caught off guard he opens his eyes and noticed he's going back up, but he's still too focused on his need to breathe so he just hopes he'll get air soon

L: Just a few seconds later, the two reach the surface, and the snake gasps. "A-are you okay?"

S: the cubone gasps for air heavily himself, coughing a bit

"Y-yeah, I'm ok...man I really pushed myself down there...how long was that?'

L: "I'm fairly good at keeping track of time, that has to have been over 20 minutes!"

S: "20 minutes?!?! Nah, you can't be serious! That's incredible!! I can't believe I managed that!"

L: "Yeah, it's for real! Even I was starting to feel some strain at the end of that!"

S: "Wow, I guess having someone with you helps out a ton... thanks for being here!" the cubone happily hugs the snake tightly

L: The snake hugs them back. "No problem! I'm glad I could help you make such an improvement!"

S: "Hehe! Yeah! Now I'm sure my dad is here by now..." the cubone looks around for his father

L: The cubone would quickly notice his dad waving to him. "It's time to head home, Cubone!"

Snake: "Ah, that must be him."

S: "Aww man...yep that's my dad..." the cubone climbs out of the pool, a bit sad that the fun is over

L: The snake waves goodbye with his tail. "I'm sure we'll meet up again sometime!"

Cubone's dad: "Looks like you made a friend! Did you have fun with them?"

S: the cubone waves goodbye to the snake as well

"Yeah I did, I got a new breath holding record of 20 minutes now!"

L: Cubone's dad: "Oh wow, that's great! That's even longer than MY best time!"

S: "Hehehe!! My new snake friend really helped me out, he's great! I think he's gonna be my new best friend"

L: "Glad to hear it! Maybe he'll be here next time too, and all of us can swim together!"

S: "That'll be awesome daddy! Hehe!" the cubone takes off his swim goggles and puts them away

L: "For now, though, we should head home and get something to eat. It's getting close to supper time at this point."

S: "Oh right...yeah, I'm getting hungry so, let's go get something to eat then"

L: The cubone and his dad leave the pool together to head home and relax.
