Fennekin wandered to the beach alone. Her eyes were focused on the crystal clear water. She always wanted to try to swim. She decided to go in the water. Fennekin went as far as she could go. The water was up to her face. Suddenly the tide came in and she was washed under the waves. She tried to get up but, the current was too strong. Then she felt arms lift her up to the surface and that was the last thing she knew before she blacked out. Fennekin dreamed about being lost at sea, Serena was calling for her. She heard the voice echo around her head. "Fennekin" it said. She woke up startled. Fennekin found herself in Froakie's arms.
"Fennekin, are you ok?"
"I'm fine, Thank you"
She realized that she was still in his arms. Embarrassed, she got up like it was nothing but, a light shade of pink appeared on her cheeks.
"What were you doing in the water?"
"I-I was trying to swim"
"I can show you how"
They both walked over to the shores of the beach. Fennekin slowly stepped in and once again she went as far as she could go. She didn't know what to do next. Her paws were at the sandy floor as she tried to stand. Fennekin felt his arms go around her chest. For a while she was pulled along in the water.
"Now try kicking" Froakie told her.
Pretty soon, Fennekin could swim by herself. She felt lonely though as she glided through the water. The sun was setting and they had to go back to camp. Their trainers were waiting for them. Fennekin sighed as she got out of the water and on the shores of the beach. She walked along the path until she tripped and twisted her ankle. She tried to get up, but fell every time. Tears formed in her eyes as she tried one last time. This time, Froakie lifted her in his arms and carried her back to camp. Fennekin closed her eyes and smiled.
