The long legged fox stood with wide eyes that searched all around the lake. Kotaro’s large black ears remained pinned against his head as he pulled his lips back in a vicious snarl. Where was the danger now?! Did it follow him through the wild jungles all the way to the falls? He lowered himself to the ground and bent his legs as if he were preparing to pounce on some hidden animal in front of him. Kotaro’s head twisted and turned in different directions and he scanned everywhere for any sign of threat. When Mishu walked up and began to gently pet him, Kotaro relaxed and breathed deeply. He pressed into her hands with a warm smile.

Something else caught his attention. Was someone calling out his him? Raising his hackles as he lifted himself back up to stand tall on his long legs, Kotaro would turn and search the wide waters of the lake until he spotted the small, colorful fish swimming around in its waters. “There was something in the forest.” Kotaro argued with the Goldeen’s logic. “It chased me all the way out to the lake.” What would this fish know, anyways? How could Kotaro help the showy goldfish understand the dangers that lurked on the mainland? He walked over to the edge of the lake and turned to stare down at the gentle waters as they lapped against the shoreline and gulped. It looked wide and deep.

The Thievul imagined large beasts with long necks and clawed fins swimming deep below its surface. “How are you so sure there’s nothing here that can hurt me?” He questioned, disagreeing with the Goldeen’s analysis. Had it swum all the way to the bottom of the lake and ensured that there was nothing down there that could be dangerous? It’s fins didn’t look very long or impressive. However, when the brightly colored fish leaped out of the waters and danced in the air itself, Kotaro’s bright orange eyes followed Goldeen up and back down as it flopped into the water with a loud splash. “It doesn’t look safe.”

A loud caw sounded high in the skies above. Large black wings flapped as the blackbird soared above them all. Kotaro enjoyed herself and absolutely adored the gentle wind and bright sunny day that made flying a breeze. The trees that surrounded the area were perfect for the blackbird, as she dived down and bobbed and weaved through their thick branches. Kotaro would land down on Kotaro’s back and tilt her head around the large fox’s head to stare at the fish skeptically. “Kotaro no fish.” She snapped and waved a wing at the fox. “Kotaro no swimmer.” Though, as Goldeen mentioned how it had plenty of water to share, Kotaro would nod her head firmly and gently pop her friend against his head with a wind. “Good idea. Drink. Drink.” She urged.

Kotaro shivered as he lowered his head down to the gently lapping waves and began drinking. The cooling waters were refreshing, and the freshwater of the lake was very tasty. It quenched his thirst, making the large fox feel much better under the summer sun and gentle weather. “Thanks…Karasu, you don’t have to be so pushy. I know how to drink.” Kotaro pointed as he flicked an ear in annoyance. “Mishu?” He nodded his head in the direction of his trainer. “She’s no Pokemon…she’s our trainer.” Karasu raised her wings and fanned them bravely as she hopped back up into he air and hovered just above the fish. She was restless and liked how unafraid this Goldeen was with her teammates. “Want to battle? Just for play. I battle if yes!” Karasu offered, and as soon as she was sure Goldeen would agree, she would charge at her opponent to try and hit it with her wings.

"Yes of course there is something in the forest, pokemon live there, but nothing which will harm you. Why would they want to do that?" The goldeen asked oblivious, "in the seas around here yes, plenty of things so we stay away from that. In here though its safe, everyone just want to live in peace."
It looked thoughtful for a moment when Kotaro declared he had been chased down here, "are you sure it wanted to hurt you? There can be many reasons for why it followed you. Did you ask?"
The goldeen spun around itself happily as the thievul came closer to the waters edge and looked down into the crystal clear water. The bottom was easy to see as the sunrays lit it up and spots of shadows danced on the bottom, it wasn't that deep near the edge but of course it would be further out.
The goldeen giggled, dived to make some quick pretty swim patterns underneath before it popped back up, sending water dropplets in all directions.
"Of course it is! All the big ones can't get in here so here there are no dangers, and you are too big for the big beaked birds if they ever should come here, which they never do!" The goldeen kept reassuring Kataro.

A loud caw from the skies made the fish flinch though, and it looked up worriedly but just frowned when it spotted Karasu. It relaxed slightly when it looked closer at her and then further when she came down and talked to them, "you don't need to be a fish to swim!" The goldeen giggled, "there are lots of pokemon around here which aren't fish, and all swims."
It looked on curiously as Kotaro drinked on the urge of the black bird, "so, you wanna join my dance now?" It asked hopefully and looked impatiently when they told her what Mishu was but nodded politely, "will she join too?"
It looked much more lively when Karasu agreed to "dance", "we can make it a battle dance yes! Are you all going to join? Get that restlessness out of your joints and let the soothing waves into your system!"

Goldeen gasped and then dived with a grin as Karasu soared past, the fish popped up a moment later, "you don't have much dance moves in that!" it teased, "try get some movement in, be unpredictable!" It tried to show what it meant by skimming over the surface but Karasu came swooping back in and slapped it with a wing, sending it splashing into the water again.
It popped up with a frown, "you need help!" It exclaimed and then grinned, "time to think out of the box!" Sounds waves rippled the surface as they vibrated through the air, but goldeen was apparently not very good at aiming at flying targets and Karasu didn't feel a thing.

Karasu landed on Kotaro’s back and tilted her head while her opponent spoke about having a dance battle. She’d heard of birds dancing, though she had been too young to understand it when Mishu had taken her in as a hatchling. “I dance?” She questioned, rolling her tongue around the outer edges of her sharp beak as if she were testing the words themselves. “Birds dance for mates. There’s no mate here?” She craned her head this way and that, checking the surrounding trees for any signs of life that might interest her enough to dance with a fish in the summer sunlight.

Kotaro scrunched up his nose and laid out flat across the ground. There was absolutely no way that he was going to jump into the refreshing waters of the surrounding lakes. He knew how to swim – or at least he was sure he could figure it out once he was in the water itself. That wasn’t the issue. The issue remained the unknown that made Kotaro so firmly sure that swimming wasn’t the sport for him. “I didn’t ask it because it jumped out at me.” He explained very firmly to the brightly colored fish. Was it dense or something? Or did it choose to hear only what it wanted to hear? What else would it mean to be chased by another creature that lurked in the dark? Hmph. Still, the water looked nice. The large red fox turned his pointed snout in Mishu’s direction and blinked thoughtfully as he watched his trainer.

“I…don’t know that she would swim. I haven’t seen her swim.” He added thoughtfully. It wasn’t like they had any reason to swim before. The lake looked inviting especially as its bright blue waters sparkled underneath the hot summer sun. The masked canine’s thick coat and dark colors that absorbed the sun’s rays emanating from the heavens above made him heat up faster and caused him to pant as he lay there at the water’s edge. “But she’s pretty impressive. She saved me when I was a young pup.” He smiled, thinking fondly on those old memories. Considering that Mishu had captured Nickit when her Galarian Zigzagoon had escaped her arms and chased after the wild pup, before she traveled all the way to Johto, ‘saved’ was a strong word. But as a Nickit, Kotaro was always such a sensitive soul.

“What…what?!” The bird cawed and jumped up into the air as she flapped her wings desperately. “Oh…wait…wait!” Karasu huffed in exasperation. Was this elegant fish correcting her moves? It wanted her to dance desperately. The blackbird tilted her beak towards her companion as she stared at Kotaro with a confused look and tilted her head. The large fox simply shrugged his shoulders while gently resting his muzzle on the ground. What was he supposed to say? Humor the fish? Ignore it and fight like she always did? How about ‘lets run before it loses its cool and attacks’? But…Karasu would never go for such sound advice as that! So Kotaro opted to give no advice at all.

“I’m not fish. I can’t dance on water. But watch!” The blackbird fanned her wings at her sides and took off to the heavens above. She darted spectacularly through the skies above, diving in and out of the large, puffy white clouds. Karasu would create long elaborate trails with the clouds as she soared, diving and swerving in graceful motions as though she were writing a beautifully written poem in cursive handwriting. She doubled back in three long hoops, then spiral towards the earth like she were plummeting from the heavens themselves, only to immediately catch herself and swoop back up at a breakneck speed. Once she had finished her aerial display, Karasu would swoop back down on the ground and tap the fish with one wing as she simply asked, “How was that for dancing?”

"You don't need a mate to dance, you can dance anytime you want! A dance is a great way to get your feelings out! And to get great control over your body!" It told Karasu cheerfully and then whispered to Kataro, "she speaks strangely, is she a bit slow?"
It giggled when Kotaro firmly told it he did not ask it, "you are not from around here," it stated, "here you can stop and ask, but I have heard that someplaces you really shouldn't. I couldn't live such place."
It knew that in other places you had to keep your eyes open all the time and never turn you back on someone you didn't know, but it was hard for the goldeen to imagine. It mostly had heard about the deep seas that surrounded this secluded spot and as a young one it had ventured out there a bit like any other teenage fish did to show how brave they were. Now it just thought it foolish and it treasured its safe and secure life it had here, having all it could ever dream of and could focus on being creative.

"She.. does look a bit strange." Goldeen agreed as Kotaro gave his thoughts about Mishu, "but even krabbys can swim, so I'm sure she can learn! But if she doesn't want to, she doesn't have to swim, she can just dance up on land." It reassured, it had never expected any of them to join its dance in the water, it knew that many other type of pokemon had it easier by joining it on land and that was totally fine.
The goldeeen looked curiously at the thievul as he hinted an interesting story, but with Karasu ready to try out some battle dancing there weren't really time to linger at the past for it.

"But you can dance in the sky!" Goldeen shouted after Karasu and whooped and splashed its fins on the surface as it cheered her on. She flew so high though, all the way up to the skies, that it became really hard to see her and her spectacular air tricks.
"She really gives it her all!" It commented excitedly to Kotaro without taking its eyes away from the little black spot which was the murkrow.
"Here she comes!" It shouted excitedly as she spiraled down and her little 'tap' with a wing plunged it under water with a huge splash as she had no idea of her own strength and how much speed affected such movements.

Goldeen was gone for a long time, so long it would be natural to ask if it had disappeared without a farewell, but then it emerged to the surface again and it looked rather battered and bruised. It smiled but pain turned it into a grimace.
"That's what I'm talking about!" It gasped encouragingly, "hopefully you and your friends can use it in the future as well!"
It moved backwards slowly and placed itself upright with its head sticking straight up. As it opened its mouth a blue orb formed and was shut up into the air, followed by several others in quick succession. The water orbs darted around above the water and clashed in sparkles of droplets which rained down prettily. A few swirled around each other, not quite hitting but then they bursted together in a magnificent water explotion.
Out of the blue an unseen orb slammed into the back of Karasu and sent her tumbling into the water, the goldeen glanced at her with a smirk as its distraction had worked wonderfully.

Kotaro tilted his head and scrunched up his nose as the Goldeen spoke to him. The fish was the strange one to the red fox. He spoke with such a rich, almost affluent manner that it caused the long legged fox to question the brightly painted fish’s motives. Nothing had suggested to Kotaro that this Goldeen meant them any harm, though the Goldeen’s waters still looked troublesome. “Slow?” He glanced upwards to the skies to follow his friend with his eyes. She moved swiftly on the winds. Her determination and focus was unmatched by anyone else that he knew. Though, she seemed too focused on the next battle or confrontation to truly relax on most days. “No. She’s just used to the harsh realities of life. She had to fight her way out of her egg when she was hatching. My trainer found her in an abandoned nest…at least, I’m pretty sure it was abandoned.” He explained, leaving out the grimmer details of the story.

The touchdown sent the fish spiraling deep into the ocean and caused Kotaro to lean over the edge. Karasu hopped on top of the large fox’s head and poked her beak at the surface of the water with wide, curious eyes. “Fish no here?” She stated in a quiet voice. “Hit too hard?” Kotaro nodded his head firmly. He frowned and pricked his ears up tall on his head as he tried to listen for any sound of life. “I would say so, Karasu.” He gulped. Karasu was quite the powerful blackbird and she seemed to be super lucky at landing such devastating blows. However, this one looked to be on par with her normal attacks. It was just unfortunate that their newfound friend bared the brunt of the attack. “I apologize? Not mean hit so hard.” Kotaro’s face warmed as he smiled, thankful that Karasu was such a caring and compassionate bird deep down below her feathers.

Yōsei giggled. He couldn’t believe how easily gullible his buddy was! The way he witnessed Kotaro shooting off like a dart was absolutely hilarious! The small pink Imp climbed up into a tree and pushed himself up onto the highest ledge. He shielded his eyes from the bright sun and turned his head in every direction as he tried to locate his friends. “KOOTAARROO!” He voice boomed from his chest. Loud birds cawed around him and immediately took flight. No matter how loud he screamed or where he searched, it seemed as though Yōsei’s friends could not be spotted. He scurried down from the tallest branch to rest within the canopy itself for a brief second as he muttered to himself. “Now…where could they have gone?” Giving up on finding them within an easy location, Yōsei would swing through the treetops from branch to branch, and sometimes using the vines that draped from their branches, as he searched.

The forest seemed to grow and expand underneath his small arms as he searched high and low. The wild yellow and green chrysalis grunted and growled as they confirmed that they hadn’t seen a large red fox or blackbird anywhere nearby. The bright brown and pink winged birds shoot their heads and cawed in the same manner. It seemed as though no one knew where his friends had run off too. Yōsei finally sunk down low by the base of one tree with a deep somber sigh. “Man…are my tricks just that great?!” He wondered out loud. A small red crustacean with a large piece of rock paused in alarm with wide eyes as Yōsei popped out from the dense forests nearby and onto the soft white sands of a beachside somewhere far off in the distance. It scuttled backwards in alarm, then paused and waited when it realized Yōsei wasn’t like the trainers that had traversed the beaches earlier, trying to battle and fight everything around them. “What’s wrong?” The small red crustacean asked curiously.

Yōsei turned his head and tilted. “Oh. You’re asking me? Well, I played the best joke ever on my friend and he bucked. I don’t know where he went.” The crustacean sighed sadly. “Oh. That’s not them out there, is it?” It raised a claw towards a small beige teenage boy and his green turtle, along with a newly arrived teenage girl with black hair. Yōsei shook his head simply. “No…my friend is a large red fox. Though, I’m sure our friend Karasu is with him. She’s a small blackbird.” The red crustacean looked thoughtful for a moment then pointed to the skies where a small black dot shot through it like a bullet flying into the air. “That’s not them?” It asked Yōsei curiously, who jumped up and immediately ran back into the forested trees in their direction. “I think it is, thanks!”

When Yōsei arrived, he watched the propulsion of water shoot out in all directions around his friends. One of the water droplets slammed into Karasu’s back and knocked her over into brilliant blue waters of the surrounding lake. She gasped and cawed loudly as she flapped her wings inside of the water’s domain and struggled to break free back to the surface world. Once she managed to climb back onto the bank, she would begin shaking her wings and fluffing herself out to dry under the hot sun. “Hey!” Yōsei called loudly, cupping his hands around his mouth. “No matter how funny that was…No one’s allowed to play pranks on my friends but me!” He stated firmly. Mostly because he couldn’t tell if the Goldeen was trying to prank his friend or genuinely hurt her. Yōsei jumped into the lake and swam after the Goldeen, hoping to bite down hard on the beautiful fish.

"Oh! So damaged by birth perhaps?" The goldeen mused and sent Kotaro a quick smile, "nothing wrong with that!" It said cheerfully not seemingly taken back by the potential tragical start on her life Karasu had had, there were plenty of those in the wild and it was only in the few spots like around these falls you could avoid things like that.

The goldeen's grin was wiped off pretty quickly when it saw how Karasu was struggling and it dived and gently aided her from above to keep her from drowning. It made sure she was safely back up on land before it moved further into the pond and swam in a wide circled which was rather slow compared to how it had been before it had been smacked down below the surface.
"So! It's all about thinking out of the puddle! Jump to another one and use the wave to carry you!" The goldeen explained cheerfully doing its best to ignore the pain and act like nothing had happened. "You were great up there, only drawback was that we couldn't really see you up that high, but your dance obviously wasn't for us but to get your own feelings out!"
It turned its eyes to Karasu and Mishu, "what about you two? You have plenty of space where you are and I'm sure it would still do you good to get some happy feet!" It encouraged and looked hopefully at them.

A shout from the forest caught its attention and it looked curiously at the pink pokemon which came running towards them, "one of your friends?" It asked Karasu and Kotaro as Mishu obviously couldn't understand it and didn't react much of what was going on. Not that the fish had paid her any attention as it had more then enough to do handling Karasu.
"Pranks? I'm just trying to teach them to think out of the puddle! To dance and be unpredictable!" It called back with a grin.
As Yosei leaped it was ready and it sent one of the watery orbs at him which hit him in the stomach and gave him extra momentum so he flew much farther before he splashed into the water. The goldeen sped after him and rammed him with its horn before he had gotten his bearing as he whirled through the water it dived under him and carried him on its back to the surface.
"So are you here to learn to dance too?" It asked and gasped from pain as Yosei took advantage of being so close to take a good bite out of the fish. "Ouch! Hey, stop that! What was that for?" It complained and shook him off and into the water leaving him to get back by himself.

"I don't think I can teach you much else," the goldeen said thoughtfully, it didn't found them very keen on listening to what it suggested but it was rare it found some who wanted. It glanced at its torn fins and smirked, "I think its time for me to rest a bit," it waved a fin as goodbye and dived to go wherever it rested.
