Dianne supposed she was lucky to have gotten away like that, especially when they were being shot at, but that didn’t make the plunge into the river any more comfortable. And considering that her swimming ability was next to none, she knew she was extremely lucky to make it through the current in such wear.

Marie was also in the water, helping her where she could. But she made sure the first priority was that Marie herself was okay. And once she was out of the water’s sight, was when she allowed herself to start to attempt to go up for air. It felt like forever until Marie managed to get them both to the side of the water... But Arceus she was grateful that they made it.

Kneeling against the white and blue pokemon by her side, she allowed herself time to regain her composure. The female coughed, feeling water attempt to leave her lungs. To be able to breathe and get any water that managed its way back out of her body. 

“Ma... Rie...” Dia wheezed, slowly moving back from her kneeling position and laying down on her back, all the while taking a bag off her back. “The bag...”

Marie nodded, going over to the bag that was in front of the female and opening it. The set of Pokeballs that were inside were shaking, however, they seemed to be intact. “Azumarill.”
