Description Continued from last night's page. It feels like Sapphire has truly seen through Charmy, here…


So as you could all imagine in the last comic, Charmy did not want to ‘lose’ again, so he mindlessly retaliated, hurting Sapphire for the first time. (And hopefully last?)

The first panel in this comic shows Charmy’s inner thoughts and assumptions upon what Sapphire would likely do to him.
But before he knew it….he was given the complete opposite reaction, as Sapphire had remembered that she had done something similar to him from before , and had already learned her lesson.
She knew, that deep down in Charmy, he would never want Sapphire to get hurt at all.

Not to mention that Charmy still can’t swim very well, which is why Sapphire had already saved him with her tail, the moment after he scratched her.

And in case some of you are wondering, Vaporeons have a special ability called Water Absorb, which lets her heal damage done to her when taking watery hits. That’s how she healed her triple scar.

Still, even though Sapphire had understood his actions and showed her unbroken love for him, Charmy had to let out his utter sadness at the fact that he had harmed his best friend and love of his life, almost causing a huge heartbreak.

Oh, and don’t worry, he’s only lightly nibbling the Vaporeon’s tail at the end. Hugging it alone is not going to be enough comfort after what happened.

- - - -

...Whew, well how's that for a heart-aching story arch? If you expected it to go on longer, nope - It's supposed to be this short. Sorry!
Someone in Dunk, Dunk, Kiss wondered if Charmy would ever win the game, which is what prompted me to think of this scenario, some time ago. But here's the thing - It's not quite a game. All Charmy can really do is try to last longer above the water. And only Sapphire can win as she is just too fast for him. The point of it was so that he could learn more to swim and such, really.

Despite lore saying that if a Charmander's tail touches the water, it's off to the grave for him/her.

A charmander's flame is based off of its physical health and emotional state.  It burns more brightly when in good health or angry and doesn't ever go out unless it dies. Fire type Pokemon can handle being in water, but are known for having really high body temperatures making it feel like they are jumping in ice cold water when to us it would feel cool to lukewarm. 

Extremely unpleasant? Yes. But entirely possible for a Pokemon like charmander to swim so long as the water stays hot enough or they don't stay in too long and get hypothermia. Of course, this is Pokemon so anything is possible.

You're....not aware of the species' special ability? Take a close inspection at a few of the panels...

Also, you were nowhere near close with your Aqua-Tail prediction!

I thought Water Absorb only triggers when it with a water type attack. Unless she as Dry Skin or Hydration. XD (I'm kidding. )

Yeah, yeah, yeah rub salt into it. Hey, Vaporeon can only learn Bubblebeam in gen 1 via a TM and nothing else later and their known as the Bubble Jet Pokemon... wrap your head around that. XD

It was difficult enough for ME to bring this comic up! Drawing the decisive expressions alone leaves my heart racing.

You certainly did it well. It's why it's always cool to look forward to your art. Especially ones involving these two. Reminds me of my own Vaporeon/Fire type duo I have myself.

Crazy emotions.

I get what you were trying to convey with Sapphire's comment that she would have let Charmy sink if she really did blame him, but somehow her words felt wrong when I read through them the first time, especially when the words were bolded out.

But I like your added comment that Sapphire was probably thinking back to when the reverse happened and she accidentally hurt Charmy out of anger, a very nice level of understanding between the two. So cute.^^

Hm. You run risks uploading some arts, risks you don't even realise at first. :/ But thanks for understanding!
The bold isn't supposed to make it sound threatening, but I think you've figured that out, anyway.

You're welcome.^^

And yeah, once to take a moment to read everything, including the artist comment, you get a better picture of the scene.

I love the ending regardless.^^ Sapphire is so caring for her friend when he's so vulnerable. It's beautiful.
