Felicity gulped a little. Misdreavus rubbed her trainer's back to help avoid the seasickness.
"Wait, bro, aren't we part merpeople?" Estelle asked Akito.
"I think we should stay here with Alice for now," Akito suggested. "She's been through a lot..."
"Yeah, some people are rude..." Vincent agreed, glaring to the doorknob as they were being washed away.
"Yeah, you're right, right now, we need to be with Alice." Estelle said.
"I'm sorry, guys..." Alice still blamed herself.
Dinah nuzzled against Alice's face to comfort her.
"Hey, it's okay, it's not your fault." Estelle comforted her.
"Yes, it is..." Alice sighed. "If I hadn't been so curious, we wouldn't be in this mess."
"You weren't the only one that was curious, we were curious as well." Akito told her.
"Are we going to get killed?" Felicity was scared now due to the infamous expression of 'curiosity killing the cat'.
"No, we're not going to get killed." Vincent assured.
"Promise?" Felicity asked.
"Yes..." Vincent said. "Why would we get killed?"
"Maman said that curiosity killed the cat..." Felicity explained why she was freaking out.
"That's an expression," Alice explained to her. "It just means you should mind your own business."
"English, thou art confusing language..." Felicity sighed.
"Yes, yes it can be." Dinah said.
"D-Dinah, are you talking?" Alice asked.
"Yes..." Dinah said to her mistress. "You said that I shouldn't say 'meow'..."
Alice was very surprised. "Have you always been able to talk?"
Dinah paused to think, but was actually unsure.
"Do you talk too?" Alice asked the Pokemon then.
"Yes, we do." Larvitar said.
"Maybe you now have the ability to talk to animals." Teddyursa said.
Alice held her head, that was a lot to take in, but it felt rather interesting.
"This is totally amazing!" Estelle cheered.
They kept washing along until they saw a dodo bird with a bunch of animals such as fish spinning around in a circle.
"Wait a minute, is that a dodo bird?" Akito asked.
"That's what it looks like..." Vincent noticed.
"What's a dodo bird?" Lavitar, Vulpix, Teddyursa, and Misdreavus asked.
"It's a bird that went extinct with the dinosaurs." Akito explained.
"Then what is he doing here?" Felicity narrowed her eyes to the long dead bird.
"I don't know, but maybe he can help us." Estelle smiled.
The dodo was talking with some friends as they did their traditional dance. The kids called for the dodo bird for him to help them out as they were drifting off in the pool of Alice's tears. The sea creatures with the dodo kept running around and they were doing a race together.
"What the heck?" Larvitar said out of confusion.
The water rose up for a brief moment and when it came back down, the animals in the race were still, oddly enough, completely dry like the water hadn't touched them. A wave came for the kids and Pokemon in the bottle that crashed down on them, but it made them crash land on the beach.
"Come on, let's ask that guy for help!" Dinah shook a little.
"Yeah." Larvitar nodded.
Once they got to their feet they rushed over as the race continued, not letting complete strangers stop them.
"I say!" the dodo called to them once he saw them coming. "Neither of you will get dry that way!"
"Get dry?" the Pokemon and Dinah asked in confusion.
"How are we going to get dry?" Vulpix asked.
"Have to run with the others!" the dodo encouraged. "First rule of caucus race, you know!"
The fish and starfish started to push against the others as they continued to run.
"Rude much." Akito said.
The group just shrugged and started running.
"No one ever got dry this way!" Alice rolled her eyes slightly.
"Yeah, no one at all got dry doing this." Estelle nodded.
"Nonsense!" the dodo chuckled. "I'm dry as a bone already!"
"Oh, really?" Larvitar asked before using strength on the right that the dodo was staying dry to make him fall just as another wave of water was coming.
The dodo yelled out, but laughed as he fell. The wave splashed them, but didn't bother any of them.
"Look lively now!" the dodo told the racers.
The wave brought over an umbrella with a familiar guest riding it.
"The white rabbit!" Felicity, Alice, Akito, Estelle, and Vincent called.
"Quick, after him!" Teddyursa told them.
"Mr. Rabbit!" Alice called as they ran. "M-Mr. Rabbit!"
"Oh, my goodness!" the white rabbit still did not wait for them as he looked to his watch. "I'm late, I'm late!"
"We will get back to you later!" Felicity told the dodo as she ran with the others.
The dodo did not notice them leaving and was scolding the others in their running.
"Mr. Rabbit, please slow down!" Estelle called out. "Akito, time for you to use your super speed to catch up to him."
"I'm tryin', Sis!" Akito called as he used his speed to his best advantage.
They ended up out of the race and more into a forest.
