Pairing: Wishfulshipping

~*~*~*~*KK*~*~*~*~

Summer was that time of year where kids could play all day and stay up all night. It was the time for swimming, picnics, and Castelia Cones. It was a time where the sun shone bright and hot and the days were longer and the nights shorter. On this particular day our heroes were spending the day at Undella Bay Beach. Ash was busy racing Oshawott and Palpitoad, while Pikachu floated in an inner tube. Iris was building a sand castle with Axew, Emolga, Snivy, Crustle, and Pansage. Meanwhile Cilan was sitting at one of the beach café's tables, reading, with Excadrill taking a nap nearby.

Cilan glanced up and smiled as he watched Iris play with the pokemon. She truly was a rare and special ingredient in his recipe of life. Going back to his book, the connoisseur found his mind was still thinking about the young dragon master.

"Ex, Excadrill." The drill pokemon yawned, as he turned to face the sun better.

"Hmm? What's that Excadrill?"

"Hey Cilan!" Iris was suddenly there, leaning on the table, "Come swimming with me?"

Cilan blinked in surprise before sighing, he just couldn't deny that smile, "Alright."

She giggled, "Come on." She then grabbed his hand just seconds after he has put the bookmark in his book. Excadrill chuckled to himself as his trainer dragged the gym leader toward the water.

Iris excitedly dragged Cilan toward the ocean before wading into the surf. The violet haired girl soon dove down leaving behind the young man. Cilan chuckled at her exuberance and watched as she surfaced, her hair sufficiently water logged but still holding some poof to it. She turned toward him and smiled widely before sending a splash his way.

"Hey!" He laughed.

"You're supposed to be swimming with me, not just standing there." Iris retorted, sending more water toward him.

"Oh I see how it is…well then take my Super Special Splash!" He then sent a wave of ocean water toward his girlfriend.

"Eeep!" Iris cried/laughed, "Oh it's on now!" she then tackled Cilan.

One splash fight later and both trainers were sufficiently tuckered out. Both Connoisseur and Dragon Master-in-training were relaxing on beach towels. Axew and Pansage were asleep between them, while the rest of the pokemon and Ash were busy playing volleyball.

Iris smiled as she gently pet her dragon partner, "I fun today. Thanks for swimming with me."

"It was my pleasure." Cilan then took her hand and gave it a soft kiss.

And that concludes day 18's drabble. Hope you enjoyed!
