The warm sun hung high in the blue sky, casting some dappled shadows over Hemlock Woods, the ruined place home to the terrifying Rainbow Friends. This was a day very similar to the other days in this place. Full of pure laughter, fun and love from the Starters Squad {Grookey, Scorbunny, Sobble, Sprigatito, Fuecoco and Quaxly}, who were playing and having a good time with Orange and Purple, their adoptive parents, who were the ones who adopted them like they used to do.
[Orange]: Hehehehe, come back here immediately, you two! — Orange exclaimed with a big smile, while he chased Grookey, a small Plant Type chimpanzee/monkey, and Sprigatito, a green kitten Grass-types too, Scorbunny and Quaxly were playing with each other while Fuecoco and Sobble were with their "mom", Purple. — Don't think you can escape from me, the big and very fast Orange!
[Grookey]: You'll never catch us, daddy! Even if you are really fast, me and Sprigatito are the king and queen of tag, you won't be able to catch us! —Grookey responded in a joking but cheerful tone, running on all fours, like his sister Sprigatito. —
[Sprigatito]: Oh yes, daddy! You will never catch us! Meow! —She laughed tenderly and enthusiastically, she was having a lot of fun. —
The good day became even more fun, when Blue and Green came to the place, and so the entire Rainbow Friends family had a nice picnic, Blue, Green, Orange and Purple talked about the mischievous and bad "intruders" who always came to Hemlock Woods, to do one thing or another, meanwhile, Grookey, Scorbunny, Sobble, Sprigatito, Fuecoco and Quaxly played with each other happily.
At one point in the conversation they were having, Purple decided to talk about something with Blue and Green, that something was something that she and Orange had decided since the day had started.
[Purple: Hey, Blue, Green, do you think you could do me and Orange a favor? It's just something. . . . Important. —Was what the purple Rainbow Friend asked in a somewhat nervous way, towards her 2 friends and colleagues. —
[Blue]: Oh! But of course we can, guys! What can we do for you two, friends :3? —He question the blue Rainbow Friend, towards the purple Rainbow Friend, and to the orange Rainbow Friends, his tone sounded curious but kind.—
[Green]: Yes, Blue and I would do anything for you two, you are our friends and colleagues after all. What do you need, Purple and Orange? —Green also questioned his two friends, He was intrigued.—
At that, Purple and Orange, who had a smile on his face. They looked towards where Grookey, Scorbunnyz with Fuecoco and Sprigatito were, doing things between little siblings, while Sobble and Quaxly They were eating 2 chocolates between them, Sobble's was a white chocolate and Quaxly's was black chocolate.
[Orange]: Could you two be able to take care of Grookey, Scorbunny, and also Fuecoco and Sprigatito for a day? —Orange asked as he moved his tail with some anxiety and nervousness. That was the present favor. —
[Blue]: Hmmmm, sure, but why do they want us to take care of the 4 of them? But what about Quaxly and Sobble? You didn't mention them. —Blue asked, somewhat curious. —
[Purple]: Hey, well, me and Orange want to give our little water girls their day. Because we are going to take the two of them to the Hemlock River, please be good to our babies, They have to always be safe. —That was what Purple asked for, and a smile, although you couldn't see it because well. . . She didn't have a visible mouth. —
[Blue]: Okay! Now that makes a lot of sense to me and Green! The two of us can take care of your little ones, now go. Enjoy your day with the little aquatic princesses! —Blue exclaimed, with a big charming smile, while he watched as Purple and Orange got up and took Sobble and Quaxly with them in their arms. —
[Purple]: Sobble, Quaxly! Today we will have a fun day by the river, just you 2, me and Orange! — She exclaimed, with a quite charming and cute smile although she couldn't see it because her mouth it was not visible to the naked eye.—
Sobble, with characteristically shy but curious behavior on her part, excitedly let Orange carry her. And she saw how Purple carried Quaxly in her thin arms, the little blue eyes of both Pokémon They shone with tenderness and sweetness.
As soon as the 4 reached the shore of the river, which flowed like the soft breeze of the wind. Purple and Orange left a. Her 2 daughters on the ground, letting them look at the water with emotion.
[Orange]: Okay, girls! We are already here! I hope we have a good day on the banks of the river, girls, you can go in the water if you want. —Orange exclaimed, he had a radiant smile.—
Sobble and Quaxly didn't waste another second, and they both approached the bank of the river, seeing all the water flowing. Sobble got very excited and jumped up and down, while Quaxly waved her little wings.
[Sobble]: ¡Woah, mira hermanita! ¡Mira toda esa agua! —Comento la pequeña camaleona de Tipo Agua emocionada, era la primera vez que veía el río. —
[Sobble]: Woah, but look at this little sister! Look at all that crystal clear water! —Commented the little Water Type chameleon, excited, it was the first time she saw the river of Hemlock Woods. In fact, it is the first time Sobble saw a river in her life.
Quaxly was obviously also excited about the river and so uncle in approval with what her dear little sister said. Both Water Types were having a great time today.
[Quaxly]: Little sister, come on, let's make a splash and go swimming! —She said, waving the little white wings of happiness that duck felt. —
Sobble nodded at what her little sister said, and at having said this. The 2 Water Types made a big jump and dived into the river, Orange and Purple laughed as they were wet because of the great splash that their little "daughters" made, but they got angry for nothing. The only thing they both wanted was the joy and happiness of their "daughters" as they were in their element, their joy was well contagious.
[Purple]: Girls! But be more careful, they splash water on us! Ha ha ha! —Purple exclaimed between giggles, for the first time in her life as a Rainbow Friend. Despite having been transformed from a human to an terrifying and "evil" Rainbow Friend, because of Red, she felt so happy. — But still, have a lot of fun, my little babies!
The warm sun shined on the surface of the crystal clear river water as Sobble and Quaxly swam together gracefully. Sometimes jumping, making little splashes and splashes, splashing, play with their imagination. Or just diving underwater together or just one of them, just for fun. Orange, being very enthusiastic and energetic, could not help but be captivated by the happiness of his cute "daughters" and with their playful nature, he told himself that it would be a "good idea." Join the aquatic fun and join his 2 "daughters" in the river to swim and splash together. But what a serious mistake he made. . . .
[Orange]: Hey, Purple! Look at this, it will surprise you a lot! —Exclaimed Orange, Well, not only did he want to join Sobble and Quaxly's fun, but he also wanted to surprise Purple and make her see that he was really cool, and then maybe he could win her over. Orange positioned himself on a large rock near the river bank, He looked for a moment at his daughters, positioned himself, took a breath of air and then jumped while in the fetal position and closed his eyes.
[Orange]: Cannonball! —Orange exclaimed, while he stayed in the air for a few seconds, but then he landed in the water, sinking beneath the surface of the river.—
*Splash!!!*
And with a very powerful splash, Orange dove into the water, creating several waves that rippled across the river.
For just a few moments, everything looked good and right, the world was filled with the pure sound of laughter and splashing in the water from Sobble and Quaxly. But on Orange's part, something It went wrong, very wrong. . . . . .
Beneath the surface of the river water, Orange's "friendly" and "playful" prank, which sank deep, turned into a fight. He realized that he was sinking and tried to give him an strokes to try to keep himself afloat and be able to return to the surface . Unfortunately and to his horror, Orange remembered one thing: he didn't know how to swim at all, he was really scared. After a few minutes, he began to run out of air and little by little he lost his breath and the struggle, his movements became erratic and his eyes slowly closed. Until her lungs finally filled with water and she stayed there, unconscious and sinking to the bottom. . . . . . .
Above the surface, Sobble and Quaxly continue playing innocently, they were splashing water on each other, but Purple was aware of everything that happened to Orange, since she could see Through the clear water Orange struggled and watched as he became unconscious from lack of air.
[Purple]: OMG! ORANGE, NOOOOO! —Purple shouted, very scared and worried about Orange. Her best friend was in danger of drowning, with that scream she alerted Sobble and Quaxly, they both looked at each other determinedly. And they both dove into the water to see if what their mother owed was true. —
Without hesitation for a single second, and, with a totally determined and determined look, remembering all the moments I spent with Orange. Purple took a deep breath, filling her lungs with air pure, pinched an imaginary nose of hers, and she dove into the water, her thin, lanky form gliding through the river waters.
Under the river water, Purple swam downward with grace and elegance, almost looking like a mermaid but without a mermaid tail. With her big bulging eyes, Purple managed to see Orange, sinking towards the bottom of the river as if he were an anvil, some air bubbles escaped from his mouth, indicating that he was alive. She put on a determined look seeing it that way, and with all her strength, she swam towards Orange with much speed, and with her elastic powers in her arms and legs, she stretched her arms until she could grab Orange with her 2 hands. Her soft long fingers touched Orange's soft, warm body.
And then, she pulled him towards him, Purple looked at his face for a few seconds. And there she look upwards and began to swim towards the surface, and thus be able to save him, Sobble and Quaxly, who were also submerged underwater. At that moment, they both swam close to her mother, their worried little eyes blue like the vast ocean reflecting their of course a great fear for the safety of Orange.
Finally, the 3 girls broke the surface of the river, and Purple gasped for air, she coughed up some water. Orange was very safe in her arms, she was also quite worried about his well-being while Purple surrounded his little body with his long, elastic arms, and also rocked him quite gently. Purple was very relieved to have gotten him out and saved him in time.
[Sobble]: Daddy, daddy, are you okay? Please, don't die. . . —Sobble commented, very worried as she swam near Purple along with Quaxly.—
[Quaxly]: Now, now, don't cry Sobble, Daddy is going to be fine, he only drowned because he doesn't know how to swim. . . or At least that's what i think. —Quaxly told his little sister, wanting to stay optimistic, even in this kind of situation. — We have to look at the positive side, at least now that we know why Daddy doesn't know how to swim, Mami has also managed to save Daddy, she is a hero!
Purple laughed a little thanks to what Quaxly said, and she also continued to watch Orange, waiting for the moment when he opened his eyes. After a not long while, Orange began to regain consciousness and began to cough weakly, coughing up water droplets and expelling water from his lungs, he opened his eyes and saw Purple, who was completely relieved to see that he finally woke up.
[Purple]: Orange, you seriously scared the hell out of me. Did you seriously forget that you couldn't swim? —Purple commented to her best friend, her voice delicate as she held Orange.— In the name of Arceus, don't you ever do that to me again, okay?
[Orange]: —He was weak, but he felt a little better and was conscious again.— Hehe, forgive me Purple, I guess I got carried away, I didn't realize how deep the river was. But it's good that you were there, my friend, thank you for saving me from drowning. —Orange directed his gaze to his 2 Fairy Type "daughters", who looked at him with concern.— And you two, thank you very much for caring about me and my well-being.
His terrifying close encounter with drowning served as a stark reminder and example to Orange of his own limitations, but it also reinforced the strength of his bond with his best friend, Purple, and of their beloved "daughters", Sobble and Quaxly swam closer to Orange and both, with their little bodies, caressed Orange gently, their concern was reevident.
As for Purple, he decided to swim back to the bank of the river and placed Orange right there, right there came Blue and Green, along with the rest of the little Pokémon., All of them had concern marked in their eyes, since apparently they managed to hear Purple's enormous scream when Orange was there drowing.
[Blue]: Hey, what happened? Is everything okay? We heard your scream Purple, tell us, what happened? —Blue asked, towards the lanky purple Rainbow Friend, her voice was full of worry. He watched as Purple came out of the water, as did Sobble and Quaxly, who also swam to shore. —
[Scorbunny]: Mommy, did something bad happen with Daddy? —Asked the innocent little Scorbunny, with his ears drooping and worried about his "father" —
[Fuecoco]: Yes, that ugly scream from Mami sounded like something bad happened to Dad. —Fuecoco said, in a very innocent way, not knowing that Orange had almost drowned and that he had been gone to heaven —
[Green]: Purple, tell us, what happened? —He questioned, while he carried Grookey and Sprigatito on his two shoulders, both with worried faces and their little ears drooping. —
Purple, still a little worried about Orange, decided to sigh to calm down, and finally, she spoke and decided to tell what happened.
[Purple]: I don't know, worry guys, we're fine. —She assured with a somewhat shy but worried tone while she was still carrying Orange. — But from now on, we must be more careful with what we do. Today Orange almost died, but I was able to save him on time.
Blue, Green and the other baby Pokémon were surprised and shocked to have heard that Of Purple, they couldn't believe that their friend [In the case of the baby Pokémon, "father"] had almost died, and on top of that, if it weren't for Purple, Orange would be history.
[Orange]: Sorry, forgive me guys, I promise you that I will stay closer to the shore, it's a gecko promise. — Despite the situation and the simple fact that he almost drowned, he seemed completely fine and was laughing lightly. — But hey, at least I'm still alive and kicking, and that's what matters really right now, right?
The laughter that followed, although tinged with some worry and pure relief at the same time, carried the weight of the events that happened today. But despite the fear and danger that He had run Orange today, where he almost drowned from a simple cannonball, it was also a new sensation due to the strength of his really family and loyal friends.
And just like that, As soon as the sun began to set and the Rainbow Friends and the Pokémon were preparing to dine on a delicious stew of delicious "fruits", leaving a warm glow on Hemlock Woods, Orange, Purple, Sobble and Quaxly will remember this day with great affection, even though Orange almost drowned today, it showed that everyone cared about each other's well-being. Their Bonds of affection for each other were tested, but they emerged stronger than ever, ready to face other types of challenges that are placed before them.
