Description

This was a lovely piece I commissioned from the very talented :iconuwfan-tomson:
The idea went for a long while in my head, so I couldn't resist to write a long story for it too! ^_^

I know this scene goes a little far.. please dun judge me xP


Part 1: dradragontear.deviantart.com/a…
------------------

Only one of two seconds of hesitation passed until a burbling distracted her. She looked behind, seeing the vaporeon swimming by her side as well and looking around in dispair. Her body curled slightly too and Misty, as well as the spectators could see how her chest spasmed every second under the firm swimsuit. Yet the vaporeon had a strong willpower as she held both her paws firmly against her lips to suppress the burbling the best she could.
However, the pokemon was less hesitating than the girl though. On the opposite: A clear hint of relief went over its face despite her slightly purple cheeks, when she glanced at the surface only a couple of feet away.
The vappy seemed to loose the fight against her body as she forcefully spurted towards the small surface and more bubbles escaped her lips although one of her paws was still firmly clutching her maw.
Misty suddenly had an idea and quickly kicked her mermaid-tail once to turn around, positioning herself directly infront of the vaporeon. Her hair was floating behind her head, glistening in the water while she opened her arms and carefully embraced her pokemon, alowing the momentum to push them slightly through the water.

The people outside of the window clapped and sounds like "Awrr.." could be heard through the glass, yet Misty tried not to think about them, knowing this would work the best if she didn't feel watched.
The vappy was visibly in distress and her paw had slipped off her maw, leaving her only with the little willpower she had left, not to inhale water into her overstrained lungs. Yet she looked trustfully at her trainer although her face showed the strain clearly and she grabbed her neck with her paw.

Misty placed a hand onto the back of the pokemon's head and carefully guided her closer. She hoped she would understand her actions before it was too late.
The costumed mermaid's chest suddenly spasmed even worse and her stomach sucked in, almost forcing her to exhale another burst of air, yet she only allowed a couple of bubbles to escape while she pulled the vaporeon's head gently closer and pressed her lips against hers. A slight shudder went through both their bodies when they felt the closeness of each other.
Misty's cheeks bulged hard again while she continued to control herself and release the air as calmly and slow as possible into the watertype's maw and hopefully into her lungs too.

Vaporeon's eyes went wide for a moment when she felt the sudden rush of warm, wet air, bulging her cheeks even more till they almost hurt. Then she instinctively gave in, closing her eyes to relax and began inhaling calmly from her cheeks and from her dear trainer as well. The little pokemon had never experienced something like this before, yet she felt how the movement of air was gradually soothing her tortured lungs. A couple of bubbles hearably trickled from the connection, but willingly she intensified the embrace, sourrounding the "mermaid" with her limbs and pressed her body against hers.

It was tough even for an experienced breathholder like Misty to keep exhaling steadily in a state like this. Her lungs were clearly protesting and she almost thought she'd inhale water through her nose every second.
Yet as she felt the vaporeon's smooth skin and rubbery suit brush up against her chest, she gradually felt a little better again and gently stroked over the vappy's neck and back. The pokemon was trusting her and she was returning this trust. She knew the people outside were probably staring at them - some in disgust, some in amazement and one or two, maybe even in envy - yet she didn't care, just managing to enjoy this very special moment herself. Just in the back of her mind, she was glad that the visitors were not allowed to take any cameras to the show.

Eventually she could feel how the vaporeon's chest had rose against her, full of air, but the girl's own chest and upper belly was sucked-in, being almost completly airless. Her eyes fluttered open in a wave of panic and she was almost about to trash around in sheer dispair before she saw and felt the watertype pokemon smile weakly and immediately began exhaling forefully back.
Vappy had placed one of her webbed paws onto Misty's upper chest and rubbed gently while they were sharing what little air they had, again. The air brushed and tingled through their lips while both members of diffrent species felt more united than ever before.
The girl couldn't diffrent but to smile as well - accidentally allowing a couple of bubles to slip - as her chest inflated again. The deep burning was still present and she had the urge to cough from the warmth and staleness of the air, yet she knew this would prolong her time udnerwater - even if only for a couple of seconds.

Without that they would have noticed, the two partners had stopped swimming and sank near the bottom of the cavity. Still they just looked at eachother after the vaporeon had opened her eyes as well and stopped exhaling, leaving them both with less than half a lungful of air.
In fact they would have been able to rush through the water by now again, yet something was keeping them from it. Was it just the kiss? Or the warmth they felt from eachother in this dear embrace? They couldn't tell. Everything they knew, was that they wished this moment would never end.
Eventually their lips parted and as if they were just on dry, they glanced at each other until Misty suddenly gave a reassuring smile and kicked her mermaid-tail forcefully while she was still embracing the smaller pokemon. The movement caused the vappy to cling slightly tighter, pressing her head against Mistys chest. Yet she took the hint quickly as well and began to use her tail and hindlegs to aid to the swim - together now.

Smoothly, Misty guided them both through the water and down towards the tunnel. Due to their positions, the vaporeon's glance fell on the display near the surface, displaying the time: 4:01. Her heart thumped harder in her chest as she was barely believing that, yet she only looked up at her trainer who gulped once in awe.
The girl was looking down at the tunnel and noticed that the crystals were weaker there, reducing the range they could see ahead. Additionally, the tunnel was heading almost vertically down, appearing like a deep, black hole to them.
For a moment she thought about to return to the surface finally. However, the vaporeon apparently had regained more confidence than one would expect. She took away the decision when she quickly turned around in Misty's softened embrace and began to head downwards, leaving the costumed girl no other choice but to follow down into the darkness, not to loose the contact.

Seconds passed as the trainer and her pokemon were swimming rythmically and supported eachotehr with their strength. Yet they could both feel the pressure increasing around them and the burning which had never entirely disppeared, renewed its intensity once again, constantly reminding the two that they were no creatures of the water after all.
A couple of bubbles seeped from the girl's lips, rising just along her sleek body during their constant descent but her mermaid-tail still did a good job and pushing her through the water.
The vaporeon felt the impact of the waterpressure on her little body and she was think about the depths of various lakes in the region where she and her trainer had been training their abilities. The fairly nagging realization came to her mind though as she could feel that she had never been that deep with so little air within her lungs. Nervously she clutched her chest, yet continued to swim.

Never relaly having had considered to ever enter this tunnel, Misty had barely looked attentious at this passage on the map they were given. Yet she remembered with slight shock that this section was the longest one of all parts.
The fear that they might have overtaken it, came through her mind and for a moment, she looked back at the vaporeon and at the vrtical tunnel they had come from, as well. The surface was barely visible anymore. "Too late to return now...", she thought.
It worried her even more when she saw her pokemon clutching its chest though with visibly growing dispair. Misty knew she was probably doing whatever she could to resist exhaling this used air, but the natural instinct was becoming stronger with every passing second. Nevertheless they kept up a steady swimming speed as they passed more massive stone and sharp shreads stuck to the cave's walls. Eventually their way finally turned horizontally. "The exit must be close!", she thought but pressed a hand onto her chest as the pain was growing, yet so was the thrill.

Suddenly her eyes catched a frantical move by her side simultanously with a large burbling. With agony she saw how the vaporeon's body bent and large clods of air shot past her paws whichs he had uselessly pressed again her mouth. Her dark eyes twitched as she blinked and the trainer could see the panic in her eyes.
Misty knew she had convinced, if not lured this dear vaporeon into this whole, dangerous adventure and she was responsible for any pain she was feeling. The costumed girl loved the thrill and she knew that the vaporeon was usually doing the same, yet she simply couldn't let her drown. She had knew she had to prevent her from inhaling water.

Instinctively she pushed with her mermaid-tail against the wall behind her to embrace the pokemon firmly, pressing its backfins against her chest while using one hand to keep vaporeon's mouth closed and the other one to cover its nostrils. The watertype squirmed hard and she sucked on her trainer's hands, yet Misty kept them in place, knowing that vappy's lungs were strong, meaning that the little ounces of air inside were still better than water.
The act was leaving the girl without any possibility to cover her own mouth though, meaning she had just her willpower to keep the water out of her throat. Her mind was screaming at her to move, but her body barely reacted now. She was very low on oxygen, yet she continued to endure and began to kick her mermaid tail again although her vision was blury now and she barely could dodge the cave's walls.
With half an eye, she beleived to see another one of the clocks. "Over 5 minutes!?..", went through her mind, but she disbelieved what she was seeing.

The vappy's struggle continued as her powerful diaphragm pushed her chest against Misty's and she gave internal shrieks of urge, nevertheless she kept at least her eyes open and used her tail to guide them both away from the dangrous walls. Vappy's will to make this through without passing out was more powerful than ever before.
With barely any strength to focus, Misty was soon believing to see a weak light at the end of the tunnel. "could it be.. the target?..", she wondered and blinked with her blury eyes. Her throat was cramped - the only barrier between her lungs and the water, but again both the air breathers gathered all their strength to push forward, gliding shakingly through the water. Misty could feel the vaporeon's heart beating fast as they were close like that and it drove her further and further, ignoring the constant contractions of her chest.

Suddenly, what looked like a bright exit, turned out to be just a plain wall of rock, blocking her way. The shock that she had failed struck her body and for a moment, the urge within her chest overwhelmed the costumed mermaid, causing her to gasp in the water. Only with a lot of luck and will she managed to redirect the water down to her stomach instead of her lungs. Yet it caused her to choke uncontrolably, blowing out puffs of her last air. The water type pokemon could feel her trainers dispair and pain and although she had lost control over her own body - only able to hold her air in due to Misty's hands - she trustingly rubbed her head against her trainer's neck and peeked up into her eyes.

Misty was about to trash wildly, forgetting everything - including the shame she would experience if she had to be revived - and give up to the water which wanted to invade her lungs and if she had been alone, this probably would have even happened.

Nevertheless, the presence of this squirming, yet incredibly strong pokemon in her arms was keeping her sane. She wouldn't give up, not if that would mean to endanger the vappy!
Despite how cloudy her mind was due to the air-deprivation, she looked upwards and suddenly could spot the weak shimemring of the surface where the light was coming from. "AIR!!", she thought and with the last bit of willpower she could still make up, she began forcefully to kick her mermaid-tail once again and she even clawed at the water with one hand while still pressing the vaporeon's head against her body with the other one.
"Do not inhale.. do not inhale..", she said in her mind to herself but to the pokemon as well. Air was everything she could think about though while she coughed out burst after burst of bubbles, barely able to control herself anymore.
The bright surface was glistening in her blury, shady eyes and weakly she kicked her legs again and again, each time with a short break inbetween. The pauses would have caused their bodies to sink again but the vaporeon kicked instead.

Yet there was no air in reach. "we wont make it...", shot through their mind.

While the vaporeon's desperate moves were already calming slightly due to the lack of air, Misty's body was still squirming hard, flexing in sheer will to make it to the surface and to breathe air again. She gurgled hard, still choking on water in her throat while clawing at the sourrounding water once again to push her sleek body just a foot further. Then another foot and so on but all the senses of her body began to fade now as the darkness was hopelessly overwhelming her. She grabbed her throat, feeling how it had cramped - a last meassure to keep the water outside.

Suddenly the glistening surface was just above her. She could see it from down below despite her entirely fading vision. All her muscles relaxed, floating motionless. "So close, yet so far..", rushed through her mind but she couldn't think anymore. For a moment, her eyes were struck by something blue again, but she just closed them. She couldn't make out what was happing and her body was even too much numbed to notice how something grabbed her arm. Just a moment later she felt how she sucked something in through her nose. "...I'm finally drowning...", her mind told her but unlike expected, a surge of energy rose through her body and Misty's eyes shot open.

The numb feeling weakened just a little and she began to hear again, realizing how hundreds of people were clapping their hands cheering loudly to the young mermaid girl who was still floating motionless only with her nose out of the water and her beautiful hair spreading around her body.

With an incredible force, everything came down to her: "She was at the surface!!!". Instinctively she stretched her head out of the water and her cramped throat finally loosened, allowing her to gasp in as hard and desperate as one could ever do. A moment later, the chokes overwhelmed her again and she shook out all the water from her throat and mouth to breathe sharply and fast. Her chest still felt numb and she knew it would probably hurt her the next two or three days, but she knew at very least she was breathing air.

With blinking, blury eyes, Misty could make out the screens which were showing her live as well as moments before, during their ascend. Her cheeks had been deeply blue, yet her face showed an incredible expression of determination.
The timer was blinking, showing a total of 6 minutes.
"We surely made up a great show...", she mumbled, still shuddering all over and suddenly her dorsy eyes shot open. "Vapps?!", she said loudly and looked around, not able to spot the pokemon of whom she realized just pushed her the last few inches to the surface. Quickly she took a breath back into her heavily aching, protesting lungs and went under again. The watertype was floating with closed eyes a couple of feet below.

Misty quickly dashed down and grabbed her firmly, kicking back to the surface. "Vaporeon!", she said worryingly as she was trying to wake her up. The spectators had become silent, holding their breath as they saw the vaporeon unconscious. The girl could see how some water poured out of the vappy's maw. Her cheeks had become dangerously dark-blue but her chest was deeply sucked in, so she had not inhaled too much water.

"Kiss her!.. She needs air!", suddenly came from some spectators and repeated. It caused the red haired girl to blush a bit - her cheeks finally returning to a normal color - and reminded her of the situation down below right before, but she didn't hesitate. Quickly taking a deep breath again, she connected their lips tightly together and pinched the vaporeon's nose to begin exhaling forcefully, pushing the air up her airways and causing her chest to swell. The pokemon still had a pulse but it seemed like an enternity until Misty could feel a spasm of hers.

Quickly breaking the kiss, she saw the pokemon blinking a few times before it smiled but immediately began to cough forcefully, spasming for air. "V..vaa...va.." Her little body shook hard as she was getting rid of the water but quickly they embraced eachother tightly for support and Misty kissed the vaporeon once again - on this nose this time - while they barely paid attention to the public which had broken out in even louder cheering.

"6 minutes, ladies and gentlemen! And both are conscious and happy at the cave ending!  This is a new track-breathholding- record!", the supervisor shouted and clapped his hands too. "Even if they were not holding their breath just for their own...", he chuckled with a grin.
"Congratulations to Misty and her Vaporeon!"

All the way back in Gen 1, Vappy did remind me of a mermaid with its magnificent tail! So glad this could be made!
