(Fuchsia City-Route 19 | May 25th | 12:30 p.m.)

Misty was all excited to go to Fuchsia Beach on Route 19, especially seeing it was so close to June. Summer, her favorite season, was coming. Traveling with Crimson had made a boon for her body, defined abs were visible on her body and she was the slow road of no longer being called a runt by her sisters. Sissi was all for getting back into swimwear.

Crimson settled for wearing an opened red Alolan Shirt, white board shorts with black leggings underneath, red and black water shoes, his usual fingerless gloves, and a black and red bucket hat. Rusty wore an opened beige Alolan Shirt under a black t-shirt that said, 'Can't Bust the Rust', a pair of burgundy board shorts, red and blue water shoes, fingerless gloves, and a black bandana with the Black Dragons insignia tied around his head. Joe opted for a black board shorts with blue waves around the legs, blue and teal water shoes, fingerless gloves, a blue swim cap, and swimming googles around his neck. The three had gotten haircuts given their hair were getting a bit too long. Crimson got his long and tousled, Rusty got his hair short and tousled, and Joe got a modern quaff after getting it dyed caramel blond.

The three were waiting on the beach for the girls who wanted to change when they got there.

"I can't wait to see what they're going to wear." Joe said geeked up.

"Why? Misty's practically wearing tank tops, midriff baring tops, and short shorts most of the time. And you saw Sissi naked plenty of times." Crimson joked.

"So have you…for Misty at least. Right?" Joe asked.

"I may have seen Sissi's tits when you two were getting frisky in the hot tub." Crimson admitted as Joe blushed. "So, on that note, nice…"

"Looks like the girls are coming." Rusty said getting his bag on his back.

Misty wore an opened white jacket, a red bikini top with a blue gem in the middle, matching red bikini bottoms that resemble boy-shorts, and white-water shoes. Sissi went with for a bright red Kalosian-styled bikini. Both strutted out certainly getting some eyes on them.

"When did Misty get shredded?" Joe asked.

"I work out." Misty said high-fiving Crimson.

"You guys ready?" Crimson said adjusting his Mega Band and getting his gear.

"Aw yeah." Rusty said excitedly.

Crimson sent out Atlas, Rusty sent out Shellshock Sheldon, Joe sent out Tobirama, and Misty sent out Swanna to have her hold her and Sissi's bags they swam.

And they were off in the water onto Route 19. Rusty, Joe, and Crimson did have to send out their filers to stay in the air to hold their bags. Their Dexes went into aquatic mode latching onto their right wrists forming a band around them. Crimson left his shirt tied around Atla's horn before Crimson enjoyed the sea just for once glad there were no Rockets on his butt, and everything was going fine.

"Battle me."

Crimson turned to see a kid tuber and an older female swimmer, clearly his older sister given their reddish-blonde hair. His and the Tuber's eyes locked.

"I'm not sure I'm in a mood of fighting…but I can't say no to another win on my list." Crimson said as the sister looked pensive.

"Luc, is this really what you want?" Lia asked.

"Yes, we can take him together!" Luc said determined sending out his Goldeen.

She sent out a Seaking. Crimson had to send out Morticia and Jett. Jett was annoyed he was in the water and more so when Seaking looked at him like easy prey.

"Morticia, Phantom Force!" Crimson said as Morticia vanished.

"Bubble Beam!" Luc and Lia said as their fish fired a barrage of bubbles.

"Dive into the water and use Aerial Ace on Goldeen first." Crimson said as Jett sank into the water to dodge the Bubble Beams.

Under the water, Jett had a glowing white outline racing on the surface of the water kicking up a wave before nailing Goldeen.

"Megahorn!" Lia called out as Seaking lunged with a glowing horn.

"SHIT!" Jett said.

"Bite the horn with Thunder Fang." Crimson commanded as Jett's worry went to a smirk.

He still took damage, but he took advantage of the sea to ensure it would hurt more. The clash resulted in both taking damage. Luc called for Goldeen to aid with Water Gun only for Morticia to reappear with the brunt of her ghostly attack to knock out Goldeen.

"Goldeen, no!" Luc cried.

"Morticia, Jett, finish Seaking off with Shadow Ball and Dark Pulse!" Crimson said as the two formed their spheres before merging them together to fire at the Seaking.

"Not so much now, are you?" Jett said confidently.

Pokémon were returned as Luc groaned at losing. Lia did not seem all too bothered at this at all, being a bit too relaxed.

"Hey, mind giving us a lift to shore near Seafoam? I can pay you for your win there." Lia said as Crimson nodded.

Elsewhere, Rusty used Healani to fry up some swimmer's Pokémon for a few easy wins.

Atlas arrived at land…and Crimson took his shirt off Atlas' horn to put back on. Lia walked on the sand to a bag leaned up on some rocks and got to hers to get a pair of Revives and some cash.

"Here you go. Not much but…" Lia said as Crimson took it. "You know how it is."

Crimson nodded as Lia took up her bag telling her brother they were heading back to Fuchsia for lunch. He returned Atlas and called down Kimiko to get his bag. A flap of her wings got him mostly dry. Crimson stroked Kimiko's face before returning her and walked further on the sand. Misty was already on the isle on a towel soaking in the sun.

"You know, you really grown up since we traveled along. Someone may rival your sisters someday." Crimson cooed.

"Sweet talking me to get in my bikini? For shame." Misty joked. "You know you don't have to do that."

"But I want to." Crimson said. "In all seriousness, I think you might actually being on your way to the next cup size."

"Training to fight really does let your body grow, you're looking more rugged than when we first met." Misty teased.

"Ah, flirting for the young."

Both looked up to a shiny Swanna with Kishi on its back. Her Swanna landed on the back and Kishi got off it.

"Kaa-san?"

For Crimson, Kishi was a reminder of exactly what kind of beauties Misty and her sisters are and would grow to be. That wetsuit highlighted the curves.

"Sweetheart, you're staring." Kishi said as Crimson snapped out of his staring. "You must be Crimson."

"Kaa-san, what are you doing here?" Misty said getting up.

"Work. Namely exploring the Seafoam Islands for a bit of a study. I only happen to hear that you two are…clearly comfortable with each other." Kishi said as Misty blushed. "Crimson, I'm Kishi Waterflower, Misty's mother."

"I can certainly see that." Crimson said as his mind drifted to thoughts of an older Misty. "I can really see where Misty gets half of gorgeous looks."

"Crimson, stop having an oyakodon fantasy." Dex Bulma snapped.

"Actually, more of an older Misty fantasy." Crimson corrected as Kishi laughed at the bluntness.

Misty facepalmed.

"Don't know if I should be glad, he wasn't thinking that or mad he blurted that out instead." Misty said under her breath.

"Anyway, seeing you two are here I could use your help to explore the Seafoam Cave?" Kishi said. "I could use some bonding time…and Crimson needs to feel welcome to the family."

That got Crimson on the heartstring given she hugged him thanking him by traveling with Misty all this time.

"Kishi, it's no problem." Crimson said breaking off the hug.

Really wanted for her not to feel his fleshy sword as Misty's mom was rather kind.

"If you need help, I'll lend aid. I just need to change clothes." Crimson said. "I heard Seafoam's caves get chilly the further down you go."

"I'll leave you two to do that. I'll meet you inside." Kishi said going on ahead.

"So what does your mom do?" Crimson asked as Misty's Swanna came down.

"She's a marine biologist." Misty said getting her bag and returning Swanna. "She travels all over to study Water Pokémon, she's even helped the rangers."

She got out the yellow hoodie Crimson had given her way back to put on before slipping on a pair of jean shorts. She swapped her water shoes for socks and her 'trademark' sneakers. Crimson buttoned up his shirt before putting on his Ghost Type Tracksuit Jacket and swapping his water shoes for socks and his Ultraflight kicks. He slipped on his Thunderbolt Cap before they packed up and went in after her. Crimson turned on the communication line on his Dex.

"This is Crimson, I'm heading in Seafoam Cave. Over." Crimson said.

"Copy that." Joe said.

[Cues: Donkey Kong Country OST – Ice Cave Chant]

The caves of Seafoam, a place barely touched by humans and mostly preserved. If anything, the cave was like walking into a building with air conditioning.

"Interesting, I never expected to see that a coven of Squirtle and it's line here." Kishi said taking photos. "Hopefully, we can get to the bottom without the rapids getting in the way."

(A/N: Kishi and Crimson finally meet. I wanted to bring her into the fold for a few moments as I really did want some cute moments…plus some humor. I'm all the more excited to breeze through this. But you're thinking…what about Articuno? Well she's in for something all right.)
