A/N: This series was made with a 1,000 word limit in mind and a certain topic. The featured characters won't tie in directly with the main story in which they're from. It was a fun suggestion made from a friend since I enjoy casually writing without a plot in mind. If you wanted to read more about my OCs, this is for you. If not, no big deal. Regardless, I suggest reading the main stories first since I don't go into character descriptions much or development.

To make it more organized, I'll be adding abbreviations of the main story's title at the beginning of every chapter title, if that makes sense lol. Example: AB: Swimming Pool... AB=Alternative Being. And so on and so forth...

Enjoy!

"Come on Cyan, pleeeeeeeeease."

I sighed, sitting with a slouch on the freshly made bed. "Why do you want me to go? I'm sure there will be other people there."

Farrah continued to whine at our hotel room door with swimsuit in hand. "Yeah but they allow Pokémon in! And I don't want to go alone."

"Then go with Linx or Wild."

She frowned. "Linx hates water and Wild is stuck in his Pokéball after trying to get a ball that you threw down a hill."

My eyes wandered elsewhere, feeling sorry for the little pup. "I didn't know..."

"So?"

I sighed, rolling my eyes. "Fiiiine."

Farrah's face lit up and she hopped a little, a wide smile across her lips. "Great! I'll be two minutes," she said happily, disappearing into the bathroom before closing the door.

I fell back onto the bed in defeat and soon found myself falling back into one of those white, pool-side plastic chairs with a giant open umbrella over my head. It was a hot day and I was glad to be in the shade, considering the swimming pool was on the roof of our thirty-story hotel. The only other spot of shade was inside where the elevator was.

Farrah looked like she was enjoying herself though. Looking good while doing it too with that dark blue one-piece swimsuit she bought yesterday. "It's so beautiful!" she exclaimed while stretching to the blue sky which only had a couple of tiny clouds softly rolling by. Instead of jumping in like I assumed she would, Farrah sat along the edge of the pool and dipped her legs in, clearly enjoying the coolness.

Me on the other hand, I caught myself panting a little at how hot it was. To make matters worse, there was barely any wind. Jumping in didn't sound too bad right then and there. But just thinking about drying myself off ruined that idea.

Looked like those around me didn't mind the heat. The two families that were there with us happily enjoyed their time in the clear water with the parents splashing around with their kids. I was the only other Pokémon there; the first being a poliwhirl which looked like a family Pokémon.

The two of us sat quietly as we enjoyed ourselves, switching between the sun in the middle of the sky to the kids duelling in the water with noodles. And the minute I closed my eyes from the drowsiness of the hot day, I jerked up when I was lightly splashed. The culprit was giggling to herself when I looked over at her.

"Do you want to be thrown in?" I asked Farrah with a mischievous grin, already imagining her screams and the inevitable yet satisfying splash.

Farrah gave me a sly smile, almost like she was daring me. "What? A little water won't hurt nobody."

"Oh yeah?" Her attitude did a one-eighty the moment I stood and walked over, my 'up to no good' grin still on my face. Little did she know, I was more than ready to back up my little 'threat.'

The brunette gasped, hesitantly laughing. "Don't you dare!" she exclaimed, nearly lifting her legs out of the water towards me like in a self-defence position of sorts without getting up.

I stopped and chuckled as she relaxed. "Ok, fine," I answered, knowing full well how I was going to get my revenge even though it had consequences; really tedious consequences. The second I turned and was convinced she relaxed through a quick aura check, I side-stepped toward the pool and jumped into a cannonball with glee, creating a big splash as close as I could to her. Since the pool wasn't very deep, I resurfaced and quickly found Farrah looking herself over with her arms in the air like being soaked with water was something gross.

"Cyan," she growled, soon staring me down, unimpressed. I really wasn't expecting such a negative reaction that it caught me off guard. My ears naturally fell flat as I glanced away beyond the reinforced glass that fenced the roof. "You're in for it now!" Farrah suddenly declared as she jumped in after me with newfound determination, a wide smile on her face, surprising me. Because the pool wasn't deep for Farrah, didn't mean it was just as deep for me; I was actually swimming since I was so short. Therefore, I didn't have a chance to make evasive manoeuvres before she dove under me and grabbed a hold of my foot.

Then, she began tickling.

I couldn't help but start laughing my ass off, resulting in me suddenly forgetting how to swim temporarily as I completely submerged. Once Farrah thought she knew she won and went up for a breather, I quickly formulated a plan for round two using my second vision. Wasting no time, I swam as low as I could go, found where she was standing, and put my head between her knees. If I could grin devilishly underwater, I would've. Once I found footing on the pool's floor, I leapt upwards enough to send her airborne a solid couple feet behind me where the water was clear of people. The scream I heard was so satisfying to hear until she splashed back into the water, butt first. I was laughing when she reemerged, not caring the slightest how weird it sounded as a lucario.

Farrah playfully splashed me once she wiped away water from her eyes with a giggle, surprisingly. I thought for sure she was going to kill me. "You're lucky Pokéballs don't work on you or else I'd put you on time out," she said, clearing her bangs to the side.

"Like you can keep me in one."

She simply shook her head and rolled her eyes with a smile. "You don't know."

"Uh huh," I answered as she stuck out her tongue at me.

"I'm starting to be prune," she mentioned, looking at her fingers. "Wanna sit in the hot tub for a bit?"

I shrugged, gazing over to said hot tub where only a couple occupied it. "Sure. But I'm going to dry off after that."

"Alright. We'll head back to the room after," she answered as we climbed out of the pool.
