Chapter 75: Pretty Pink Pokémon

"You know, I think I'm starting to get sea sick." Emmy whined as she laid coiled up on Ziton's head.

"Hmm? But you've been perfectly fine this whole time." Zia told her. "Yeah, but we've been out here for so long, I think my body's finally registered that I'm not where I'm supposed to be, on land." The Serperior replied.

Suddenly, the Gyarados lurched, causing everyone to hold on in a hurry to not be thrown into the sea. "What was that?!" KC exclaimed as they all looked forward. "It's a whirlpool." Ziton answered as he struggled to pull away, but to no avail. The kept spinning around and around in the water before everything turned black.

Zia groaned as she reluctantly opened her eyes, only to see the sky. She carefully sat up and looked around, seeing everyone else was there and alright as they looked around the island they washed up on. Turning back towards the sea, Zia got up and walked towards her Gyarados. "Thank you again, Ziton. Have a rest." She said and returned him. She then walked over to the rest.

"So, where are we?" She asked, watching in amusement as KC jumped into the air in surprise. The Pokemon already knew she was awake, having heard her talk to Ziton. "Oh, you're awake. I believe we're on Pinkan Island." Her boyfriend answered her question.

"Pinkan Island?" Zia asked him. "Yeah, it's this mysterious place surrounded by these humongous whirlpools, and with those giant cliffs, hardly anybody's ever explored it. So nobody knows what kind of Pokemon live on the island!" KC explained as he help up the map, showing the island they were on with a bunch of whirlpools drawn around it. Suddenly, Zia looked around, nothing that someone was missing. "Hey, where's Kaida?" She asked as everyone froze. Glancing around, she was nowhere to be seen as Zia's whole demeanor changed. "You weren't watching her?!" She asked, clearly angered.

"H-h-hey, c-calm down!" KC coaxed nervously as he held his hand up, sweating rolling down his face. "Y-yeah, she's got to be around here somewhere." Sky told her. Zia glared at all of them before making a 'Hmph' sound and ignoring them.

Walking away, she began looking for the Dratini. "Kaida! Where are you? Kaida?!" She shouted. The rest did the same thing, calling out for the younger Pokemon. "Zi! Zi, come wook at this!" Zia suddenly heard as she followed the voice and saw the Dratini standing at the top of the cliff. She gasped as she ran to the base of the cliff.

"Kaida, get down from there!" She ordered, worried for her Pokemon. Kaida pouted, looking around. "Me don't know how." She said as Zia sighed. "Hold on, stay right there." She warned the Dratini as she began climbing the cliff.

Around the corner, KC happened to look up and almost fainted. "Zia! Why're you climbing up there?!" He questioned worriedly. The girl looked down and glared at him, making him squeak in fear. "I'm getting back my Pokemon that you managed to lose!" She yelled at him as he then noticed the Dratini sitting at the top of the cliff.

He winced at her words, but knew he deserved it. He just got so caught up in trying to figure out where they were at. Emmy, Sky, and Kirlia also felt guilty, knowing they should've kept an eye on the Dratini while Zia was unconscious.

They all began to climb their way up the cliff as well, with Kirlia sitting on KC's shoulder as she lifted Sky up with her psychic. Emmy used her vines to help her up. Eventually, they made it up to Zia who by then had gotten to the top. She was gaping at something over the edge.

"What's wrong?" KC asked as he peeked over, only to see a pink Pokemon.
