"Thanks for the help" Mikey nodded gratefully.
"Yeah, no next time" Tentacool nodded as well, but with tentcacles crossed behind his back.
"Hey, what were you doing in there anyways?" Mikey asked insinuatingly.

Girdap glared at the Tentacool, tempted to say, 'I don't like you.' But the question form the seemingly more reasonable Vaporeon he turned to look at him.
"I'm an explorer. I've traveled all over the seas exploring rock formations and caves." He answered. "But my question is what were you two thinking?"

"Oh, I dunno" Mikey drifted in a slow twirl. "I was just lookin' for some fun I guess."
"We were thinking what everybody does!" the tentacool said defensively. Then it suddenly burst into giggles. "That old man Red is really fun to mess with! Not like he'd really eat us or anything. He's more bark than bite, but grumpy-gusses like him are the best to play around!"
Mikey laughed too, then thought. "Hey, you said you were an explorer?" he turned back to the swampert. "I'm Mikey, and I'm from the prairie pond. I, uh, am really new here. Have you found anyplace cool to look at?"

Girdap had the sudden urge to break the Tentacool's neck if it had one.
"Messing with your elders is not fun as you put it. I used to mess around with a Wailren when I was your age. That's how I got the scar on my back."
He looked to the Vaporeon and nodded. "Yes, I'm an explorer, but these seas are boring to say in the least. Nothing like the tropical seas, or the frozen seas back home."

The tentacool turned around and began making discrete, mocking gestures that made it difficult for Mikey not to laugh.
Keeping a straight face though, Mikey shivered a little at the thought of cold waters. He didn't care for them at all. But tropical seas? He had to wonder.
"What is, uhm, tropical?" he asked curiously.

Girdap felt the water move from behind him and smirked, making a sudden powerful swish with his tail that should make the Pokemon fly off, but not hit anything.
"Warm waters with exotic Pokemon that love to eat Tentacool." He said, smiling. "And bratty kids that disrespect their elders, but it's a fun place to be, so much adventures. I was heading back there actually to meet up with a friend of mine."

"Mmmm, warm waters" Mikey grinned and twirled as he tucked in his legs and put on a blissful face. "I wish I could go there!"
"I don't" the tentacool scoffed. "Who eats a tentacool?" he huffed rhetorically before swimming off. "I'll see you later Mikey."
"I'm sure he's kidding!" Mikey called after the tentacool, but it was too late. The tentacool was already a good ways away and not turning back.
"Now look whatcha did!" Mikey grumbled to the swampert.

"He's a bad influence. I know some good friends for you back int he tropics if you want to travel with me there." he said, swimming off himself, but he stopped and turned around.
"Try to avoid people that purposely make fun of their elders and strangers, and that lead you to trouble. It's a bad idea. Better alive then in a belly I always say." He said. "Coming or not?"

Mikey couldn't argue with that logic, though from the manner it was spoken, he wanted to.
Casually, he paddled along beside the swampert. Sure this guy might be boring and old, and Mikey had no higher hope for the friends he was to be introduced to, but he did look forward to the warm waters awaiting him!

"Ah, here's one of those youngsters I was telling you about! Hello, Tropi, what are you doing here?" he said after an hour or so of swimming, he stopped and smiled at the child. The Squirtle smiled back and waved.
"Girdap, we were wondering when you were coming back to the warmer water, I was sent to find you. My first adventure! I'll best you old man!" He shouted then, pointing at Girdap.
"Yeah, yeah, come get me when you evolve into a Blastoise like your parents, then we can talk." Girdap chuckled loudly, smiling at his new companion. "This is Tropi, you might like him. He's full of all these adventures he claims he can do."

"Hi Tropi" Mikey nodded slightly. "I'm Mikey."
Mikey sighed. A bubbly squirtle that loved adventures... And apparently respected his elders, lest this Girdap fellow wouldn't care for his company.
Mikey's mind drifted to mocking imagery of the squirtle and swampert ducking in and out of the coral-shallows, pretending they were deep under the earth in a cave rich with gems and sea monsters. He sighed, and followed along a bit more reluctantly than before.

"So, Mikey! Word is you survived a Red Garyados and lived! This true? Tell me everything!" Before Mikey could answer he motioned to Girdap. "Ignore that old fart. I only stick around him since he knows my father."
Girdap smiled as he swam in front of them, they could say what they wanted. As long as they weren't in life or death situations, he was happy.

What a hypocrite! Mikey shot a subtle glare at the swampert. He must have been racist against tentacools or something. This kid was no better than the tentacool he had been hanging with.
But there were two sides to every leaf, of course. This meant that the squirtle's adventures might be more than sandbox-playgrounds!
Mikey turned to Tropi as they travelled and began spewing out the whole story, with more than a few hyperboles here and there, hoping Girdap wouldn't comment on the inaccuracies.

"Tropi, Mikey" Girdap said as he stopped, looking to the two. "We're entering dangerous territory now, Tropi, I want you to make sure you continue on this path, I'll go make sure those angry families are sleeping."
Tropi nodded and looked to Mikey once he left. "We better listen to him this time, these waters are rough, I wouldn't have survived if his friend didn't help me through." Tropi kept swimming straight ahead, smiling when the water got slightly warmer due to the change in hemispheres.
After a few minutes there was a loud roar then a loud crash echoing through the water, with some strong currents hitting them, but Tropi tried to keep them on course.
"I hope that old geezer is alright. If he isn't I hope we get out of here in time!"[/color] Tropi said, looking in the direction the sounds and currents came from.

"It can't be th-that bad" Mikey stuttered, his eyes staring off in the direction of the sounds. "I mean, I survived that mighty red gyarados. What's worse than that?"
As soon as the words left his lips, he began to regret asking them. His imagination was no small thing, but right now it was working against him.
