The Special Trip
Theme: Aquarium
Latios, a teacher at a local school takes his beloved class on a trip to the Aquarium, what sort of fun awaits our young students?
-----------------------------------------------
On a surprise class field trip to the local Aquarium, the teacher, a Latios, was eager to help the students learn all about the cool wonders of the Aquatic lifestyle, they were all in a bus and on their way there.
A few of the students, a mixture of pokemon and anthro creatures, were excited to see all the cool fish in the place, while others were not so excited, more nervous then anything else.
Soon, the class gets to the Aquarium, which is a massive place, it was probably bigger then any other building in the area.
Latios turns to face his class with a confident smile
"Alright students, were about to enter the wonderful world of sea life, everyone stay close to their buddies, take a deep breath and lets go in and have an adventure!"
Everyone rushes off with a buddy to keep them company, so excited to see what is in store
As everyone goes their separate ways to explore, lets see what everyone is doing:
A few pokemon are looking at the big aquarium tanks, so excited to see some huge fish swimming around, even some pokemon are in there as well
A couple anthro creatures are petting some sea stars and other fish
But what really stood out was the fact that you can actually swim with real dolphins in this Aquarium, and before you knew it, a lot of the crowd has gathered there
A Sceptile who was in charge of running this stand in front of the crowd of kids, he wants to make sure that everyone here can swim and dive with no problems, and while a few of them said no, most of them said yes, eager to dive right in.
The sceptile then lets in two pokemon at a time to go first, which were a Riolu, and a Vulpix.
Once they get to the edge of the pool, a few dolphins come over to inspect the two pokemon, and once they saw them as not a threat, they instantly got super playful and happy.
As the riolu gets into the water to start playing with the dolphins, the Vulpix was too nervous to get in, considering they were a fire type after all.
The dolphins notice that the Vulpix was scared and immediately swam over to her and one of them gave her a hug, as if they were trying to comfort her and tell her that everything's ok, and that nothing will happen to her.
The vulpix was shocked that she was actually being hugged by a real dolphin and that instantly brought a smile to her face, soon she was brave enough to get into the water and ride on a dolphin's back around the tank, they dipped underwater a few times, of course giving the riolu and Vulpix some time to hold their breath as they did.
The two had a blast with the dolphins, the riolu was even challenging one to a breath holding Contest, which of course the dolphin accepted.
It was a close match for sure, the riolu was very determined to beat a real dolphin, his face was going bluer then useal as a ton of air bubbles escaped from him. But in the end he actually won! Not by a long shot but it was still a win! The riolu was so happy and the vulpix was proud of him
Once their turn ended, the rest of the class got their turns with the dolphins, everyone of course had a total blast, but the day wasnt over yet.
Apparently another worker from the Aquarium, an anthro Raven told the class to meet him in front of the large tank they have in the middle of the building, everyone was confused as to why this was happening, but they complied anyways.
Once they make it there, the raven then gives a signal and their teacher Latios swam into view of them!
For a long time, the students wanted to see what their teacher looked like swimming underwater, but they could never see it, until now that was. Everyone was so excited to see their favorite teacher submerged underwater, complete with a pair of puffy cheeks as the Latios lets out a few bubbles.
Some of the students went "Awww" at that, which made the Latios blush a little and smile even more cutely at his class as he swam around the tank for a little longer, being as calm and happy as he can be.
After a while, the latios felt the need to breathe so he stopped swimming for a moment to go surface before coming back down.
A new instruction was given to the class that one lucky student will get to swim with him in the tank and take some pictures they can show to their parents as well. Obviously everyone entered the drawing, and the lucky student to come into the tank was... A charmander? It was Charmy!
This charmander was so happy to be chosen, and she wasnt scared at all! Immediately she went up to the tank and dropped right in after a deep breath, swimming down to her favorite teacher. The latios smiled and hugged Charmy close and hand in hand they swam together all around the tank of water, getting pictures and making happy memories!
As the day slowly came to a close, Charmy was now the new popular kid in school thanks to the epic photos she got of swimming with the teacher, and she couldnt have been more happy then she already was.
Soon the class regrouped on the bus and went back home, a successful class trip in the books as one everyone is gonna remember for a very very long time!

The Rescue Team Buddy Race
Theme: Competition
When Emilio and Terry were taking a break from their usual Rescue missions they find out an event was being held and it was even having a reward being put in for a 1st place finish! Will they be victorious?
-----------------------------------------------
In the world of Mystery Dungeon, Emilio (a Blastoise) and Terry (A Sceptile) were taking a break from their usual rescue missions after they achieved the Diamond rank. They were most likely gonna spend some time to relax and catch up with each other since they haven't really gotten the chance to do that
However, that was all gonna change when an announcement for any rescue teams avaliable to come down to the ocean for a competition unlike no other!
Emilio and Terry of course couldnt turn down the possibility of winning something like this, as much as Emilio doesn't wanna deal with water again, so they scurried down to the ocean along with a few other rescue teams to see what it was all about
When they got there, the ocean didnt seem as normal today, as its been transformed into an obstacle and race course with cones displaying where to go, even underwater there was all kinds of things that might get in their way!
Emilio and Terry were shocked at the sight, as with everyone else, wondering what is gonna happen and how this all works
Soon, the host of it all, Kyogre, was hovering in the air gazing down at everyone below before starting to speak:
"Welcome one and all, to the Rescue Team Buddy Race! The first of its kind! Now your probably wondering how this all works, well its simple! Each Rescue team will pick two members to go through the underwater race course, and whoever reaches the finish line first, wins! There's all kinds of obstacles blocking your way, even some where may have to work together to achieve victory! So good luck, and most importantly have fun! Oh yeah, if you get 1st place, you'll receive all these coins in this heavy bag!"
Kyogre then shows the bag of coins to everyone, its gotta have at lease a few thousand coins in that! It was massive!
Emilio was very nervous about attempting this, but he knew Terry would be along his side the whole time, even Danny (An axew) was there to cheer them on, there were cameras set up underwater so he can watch the show too.
So with a confident smile Emilio and Terry head to the starting line along with everyone else who was picked to be in the race.
Kyogre then gives them a count down
"5! 4! 3! 2! 1! GOOOOO!!!!!"
And off they went, taking a deep breath before plunging underwater and swimming as fast as they can through the course.
Two water types were in the lead at the moment, mocking the rest of the competition as they zoom ahead, Emilio and Terry were close behind in 2nd place, trying their best to outswim everyone
Emilio had only just learned how to swim a few months back, so he was a little rusty at it, but was determined thanks to his good friend Terry's support.
They weive through different obstacles set up, like large rocks, and even pokemon were there to try and stop them, it was crazy!
Halfway through now, and Emilio had to stop to breathe at one of the air pockets set up, which slows them down but he quickly catches his breath before diving back down. Terry also went to breathe too.
Eventually they get to a puzzle part of the course, where a door was placed and the only way to unlock it was to solve a puzzle that was placed on the seafloor. Immediately Emilio and Terry went in to solve it together
The two water types that were ahead were also doing the puzzle and those two were horrible at them, and it was taking them a long time to solve it, giving Emilio and Terry an advantage over them.
Soon enough, they solved it in under 3 minutes and the door opens to let them continue on while they left the water types in the dust, or should we say, in the bubbles...heh...
Anyways, Emilio and Terry were almost done with the course! They had one last obstacle left, and that was to completely drain their air before making it back up to the surface, essentially being on empty lungs and doing everything so they don't inhale water.
This made Emilio and even Terry shocked at this, Emilio wanted nothing to do with being on such empty lungs and was not sure if he could handle that.
On the surface, Danny continues to watch and sees what's going on, before he shouts
"Guys!!! Don't give up so soon! I know its gonna be scary but youve come so far!!! You can do it!!!!"
Somehow, Emilio and Terry heard Danny's message to them, which gave them a little bit of a confidence boost they needed to complete this. With the two water types coming in hot behind them, Emilio and Terry started to blow bubbles as fast as possible to drain out their air supply completely, it didnt take long before they were on empty lungs, now covering their nose and mouth tightly they kick up to the surface.
However, the two water types didnt listen to the instructions, so they surfaced first before Emilio and Terry could do it afterwards. Then a few other rescue teams came up to the surface as well as everyone finished the race
Kyogre sees that the two water types were first and smiles
"And we have a winner!!!"
Emilio and Terry were disappointed that they didnt win, but just before they could leave, Danny comes in with some news.
"I-i think you should check the footage again Kyogre, something is wrong with their victory!"
Kyogre was puzzled before he checked the footage, and sure enough he saw thay the two water types didnt empty their lungs, however Emilio and Terry did! So the water types were disqualified! Which means Emilio and Terry were the real winners!
Emilio couldnt have been more proud of himself for completing this course with his good buddy Terry and he can always rely on Danny to stick up for them.
The two water types were super angry from being disqualified before storming off together.
Now with bags of coins Emilio, Terry and Danny spend the whole day thinking about what they could spend all this cash on, and they couldn't have been more happier with their victory!

A sweet filled wonderland
Theme: Candy
An Eevee finds themselves in a world made of candy, everywhere you go there was edible stuff just begging to be eaten! Lets hope our friend doesnt get a tummy ache after this
-----------------------------------------------
In an alternate universe, this world was filled with all sorts of candies and sweets. This would easily be a kid's dream come true and it seems one lucky Pokemon has found themselves in this candy filled world, and that Pokemon was an Eevee. They were absolutely shocked at how much goodies and treats there were all over the place they were standing in, even the ground was made of edible cake!
As the Eevee wanders around this strange place, something caught their attention, it looked like a lake that was filled with soda, root beer to be exact and that was one of the Eevee's favorite drinks! So of course they had to check it out!
Once the Eevee arrived at the soda lake, he took a drink from it and it was nice and cold, just how he liked it. Seeing as nobody was around, he then gets into the soda lake and swims on its surface, he was always curious about what it was like to submerge under soda, as much as he doesnt do this kind of stuff often, but today was an exception!
So with a deep breath, he holds it in and dives under the soda, and to his surprise it felt even better then he imagined it to be. The little bubbles that rise from the soda tickle his skin, which made him giggle out bubbles as he slowly got used to the feeling. He then swam around deeper in the lake, even taking a few gulps of the soda as he did.
He wasnt the greatest breath holder and can probably only last a few minutes, maybe 5 if he gets lucky enough, and by the time he touched the bottom of the lake his face was fully red!
So not wanting to push himself he slowly pushes himself off the bottom and rises to the surface, gasping for breath once he got back.
The eevee had a huge smile on his face, he finally got to see what it was like to submerge under soda, and it was incredible!
After he got out of the lake, he decided to keep exploring around. There was a forest that had trees made of licorice and the bushes made of all different kinds of sweets combined!
As the Eevee keep going, he happened to spot what appears to be pudding, Vanilla pudding to be exact, and deciding to see what it feels like to be in some, he carefully steps inside of the pudding. It felt like quicksand when he stepped in, and he could feel himself starting to sink down. He was a little scared at first since he's never experienced this before, but after a short while he eventually got used to it. It felt very pleasent like the pudding was sort of giving him a massage in a way. So he quickly relaxes and keeps letting himself get pulled down. It didnt take long for the pudding to threaten to submerge him, so he takes a final deep breath and lets it happen. Thankfully for him, the pudding wasnt super deep, maybe 3 or 4 feet in the eevee's estimate, so once he found the bottom, he relaxes as much as he can.
Turns out, the pudding felt so nice he was surpassing his breath holding record, he was just now turning red, but again he didnt wanna push himself too far, so after taking a sip of the pudding he starts to make his way back up. It was an effort for sure but thankfully he surfaced again without much issue, his whole body covered in pudding. He then licks himself clean before getting out, clearly he enjoyed himself there.
As time went on, the eevee kept exploring and eating some of the Candy there was to offer, even dipping in multiple soda lakes, and on one particular orange soda lake, he actually decided that he wants to push himself. So taking a deep breath he makes his way to the bottom of it, about 10 feet deep and stays there as long as possible.
Soon his face turns fully red after 6 minutes passes by, bubbles escaping him a bit more frequently, but he was determined to last long so he keeps going. Now 11 minutes passes by and his face was turning blue, eventually he had enough and takes another sip of the soda before swimming back to the surface, gasping heavily for breath.
After a long day, the Eevee decided to take a nap on a nearby bench, that was made of chocolate wafers. He falls asleep not too long after, but the real question still lies ahead, how is gonna get back to his home in the real world? Well he was gonna firgure that out later, for now he was having Sweet dreams as he sleeps, so happy that all this happened to him.

A birthday you won't forget about
Theme: Party
A Wartortle has invited his good friend, a riolu, to his birthday party, but its not a regular party, its an underwater one! And when the riolu is terrifed of submerging, how will he manage to make it to his good buddy's party on time?
-----------------------------------------------
Recently, a riolu was invited to his friend's birthday party, said friend's was a Wartortle. But this wasnt gonna be any ordinary party, it was gonna be an underwater party at a big venue down in the ocean. Unfortunately for this riolu, he was really really REALLY afraid of submerging underwater, he wanted nothing to do with it. But it was his friend after all, best friend even if you give it at that, they have been friends for as long as he can remember.
He was very nervous to do this but he couldn't just not show up, so he had to mentally prepare himself for the dive ahead as much as he doesnt want to. So after getting himself some goggles from a local shop he went down to the ocean where the party was being held.
He was shivering in total fear, so scared of going in, so scared he spent the last 10 minutes not going into the water. Then when he thought he was alone, the wartortle shows up to the ocean, it was actually still early and the party didn't start until 1pm, it was 12:25pm right now and the riolu purposely came early because he knew he would get scared and not move for long periods of time.
The wartortle was surprised that the riolu even showed up, considering their hate for the water. But he was fully willing to help his friend go down so they can celebrate together.
So after 20 minutes of comforting the riolu, eventually he felt ready to go underwater after the wartortle said something very encouraging to the riolu that he knew would convince him to dive.
Thankfully the riolu knows how to swim at least so he didn't need to give lessons or anything, it was just a matter of getting him underwater.
Finally the riolu and wartortle together go into the water, little by little they get in deeper and deeper, until they get to a point where the party was being held and it was time for them to submerge.
The riolu was freaking out of course, really panicking up a storm as it was finally time to go underwater, of course the wartortle reassured his friend that everything will be ok. There was even gonna be air pockets scattered around the party so that the air breathers can go breathe whenever they want. It was even gonna be constantly fresh thanks to a filter they will install in each air pocket. So that at least made the riolu feel a little better at least, but of course he still wasnt sure about this.
So after 15 more minutes of convincing, the party was gonna start soon, and the wartortle had an idea to convince his friend to dive, it was a bit mean but he was running out of options. He told the riolu that he was gonna just leave him behind and go celebrate his birthday all alone without his best buddy, he was frowning and making the riolu seem guilty about choosing not to attend his awesome party. So the wartortle dives underwater, leaving riolu by himself.
The riolu tears up as he actually felt guilty about not going under with the wartortle and soon he shouts "WAIT!"
Luckily the wartortle heard him before he ended up too deep and resurfaced
"Yes riolu what's up?"
The riolu takes a deep breath before responding
"I change my mind, i-ill go underwater with you and celebrate your birthday at your party"
That made the wartortle smile and wag his tail a little at hearing his friend say that, so he holds his paw for reassurance before giving a countdown to dive, and after saying 1 they both take a last deep breath before they submerge underwater together.
The riolu actually does end up submerging this time, his eyes closed for the moment before remembering he has goggles on and opening his eyes. The Wartortle was so proud of him for finally managing to submerge underwater, giving him a hug for his accomplishment.
In that moment the riolu felt proud of himself, he was holding his breath and underwater, they get to swimming down deeper, the riolu getting more nervous then deeper they dove, but he tries his best to hold back his fears.
Eventually they reach the venue, it was massive! There was a big banner that said "Happy birthday" on it, lots of food that works fine underwater and of course a cake that also works well underwater (SpongeBob logic I guess).
Soon, all of the Wartortle's friends came down to join the party, a few of them surprised to see the riolu underwater, considering most of his friends know that he has a huge fear of submerging.
The riolu gives them a brave look, knowing he's done the impossible. He definitely felt proud of himself for making it this far. But he needed to breathe already, he wasn't the best breath holder since he just started this, so after the Wartortle showed him where the air pockets were, the riolu didn't hesitate to swim up to it and gasp for air heavily.
He took a few minutes to catch his breath before he holds his breath again and dives underwater, rejoining the party.
The Wartortle had different activities set up for his party, classic games like Red Light, Green light, Musical chairs, and even hide and seek! All working underwater of course.
The riolu ends up having a blast at the party, even winning a few times playing the party games. He went to the air pockets to go breathe of course and he felt his fears slowly melting away.
As the party continues on, it was time for a major event, the breath holding Contest, now the riolu may be at a disadvantage here since he just started this, but after a little more encouragement from the wartortle's friends to try this, he eventually settled on doing it.
Everyone got a fresh breath before starting the challenge, and everyone was focused. Unfortunately the riolu didnt win, but he got super close to winning, ending up getting second place.
When the party slowly came to a close, everyone sang happy birthday to the wartortle and had cake and food, which was all delicious despite everything being underwater.
The wartortle couldn't have been more proud of his accomplishment for beating his fear of the water, the riolu's gift he brought to give to his friend was also really special as well, deepening the riolu and the wartortle's bond further then ever.
Eventually everyone heads home at the surface, but the riolu sticks to his best friend for a while longer, even decided to stay the night at his place.
Even tho the riolu was really scared at being underwater at times, it was all worth it to make his friend happy, and thats all he cares about. He even thinks he'll start going on dives a bit more often as long as he's with the wartortle, but for now, he's just gonna relax, maybe even take a little nap with his buddy after a fun and long day.

Sauvemente!
Theme: Dance
A dance competition is being held, and this Delphox wants to try her luck at being the best dancer she can be, however...there's gonna be one minor obstacle
-----------------------------------------------
Watching TV one day, a Delphox was bored and on a couch lounging around, and then suddenly an ad pops up that grabs the Delphox's attention.
"Are you tried of being bored? Do you wanna win some cash and prove you have what it takes to be the best? Well look no further, come join us at the biggest dance competition of the century! You won't wanna miss this opportunity! Today only!"
A dance competition? Well that was right up the delphox's alley, they love to dance whenever they are listening to their favorite tunes, so of course they didn't hesitate to want to join it. The address for the studio was a bit strange, but they thought nothing of it and started to make their way to the dance competition.
As they get to where the place was located, the delphox's smile immediately fades away, they were on the direction of the ocean! Apparently the delphox didn't read that this dance competition is being held at an underwater facility, and that was annoying her a lot, she didnt not want to submerge just for a competition.
However, they did have to walk all the way over here... so maybe it wouldn't be so bad? She has gotten swim lessons for emergencies and what not, but underwater? That's like her most least favorite place in the world, and did she did say she was bored so they had to try it.
After getting some goggles and taking a few deep breaths, and some moments of hesitation, she dives underwater and swims down to where the competition was being held.
It took a little bit but she got there with almost no problems, there were a lot of pokemon competing, some of them were doing partner dances, it was gonna be a tough competition, considering the delphox can't breath down here and has to hold her breath, her face was already red and she sees a few of the pokemon there struggling to keep going, but thankfully there were air pockets scattered around the underwater studio, so she can go get a breath before she starts, since she isnt the best at doing this stuff.
About 30 minutes later, with the delphox getting air in between, it was finally time for her turn to start! So she swims onto the stage where there were 3 judges, Mewtwo, being the strictest one of them all, Latias, and even Lugia.
The delphox was clearly nervous about this, considering these judges were all legendaries, but she tries to stay calm and after the music starts up she begins dancing.
Thankfully for her this was one of her favorite tunes, so she was feeling a little bit better as she dances underwater, even having never done it before, she was really really good, nailing every move possible.
Soon, once her time was up, the judges and the audience behind clap for the delphox, her performance was great, and even Mewtwo nodded in approval at that, which he doesnt do often. The judges made their scores...
Mewtwo gives them a 9.2, thats the highest score mewtwo has given today at the competition, Latias give the delphox a 9.8, she loved Delphox's performance, and finally Lugia gives Delphox a 9.6, giver delphox a total score of 28.6, which was really good.
Eventually everyone else went and it was time for the results, the delphox came in....
2nd place!
Unfortunately she didnt win, getting beaten by a blastoise, it was really close too.
However she wasnt leaving empty handed, she still got a reward for getting the top three, so she walked away with about 5,000 dollars! Good enough for her!
She really needed to breathe so she waves goodbye to everyone and surfaces for air, gasping when he reaches the surface. It wasnt too bad being underwater but she hopes it wont happen again.
After getting home to dry off, the delphox counts up the cash and starts making plans as to what she's gonna spend it on, but for now she was tired so she decided to go take a nap and come back with a fresh mindset, a content smile on her face as she falls asleep.
