It was midday out in the ocean about a mile away from land, a small ship was sailing containing four occupants, 3 guards and a prisoner about to serve a death sentence. The prisoner was a young Eevee named Sophia about to be executed for the murder of three Charmanders, little did anyone else know it wasn't her, but nobody would believe her the fact the bucket was found next to her feet and nobody else was around, someone had deliberately thrown the water on them and gotten away with it and she was being scapegoated for it. One of the guards was driving the boat.
Guard 1: "One minute away from our destination"
Guard 2: "Great, this will teach you to kill those innocent Pokemon, the perfect irony to how you did it but you'll suffer longer" He was just finished tying the ball and rope to her feet with her arms already tied from behind by another peice of rope, she could only whimper and shiver nervously, she'd already tried explaining but that just earned her a gag to prevent her so-called lies. The guards were already aware about her special rings and removed them so she didn't have a chance to change into an amphibian and survive her fate. The boats engine came to a stop and seemingly, so did the Eevees heart as terror filled her tummy, she knew what the next part was. 
Guard 3: "Alright gents, away with this killer, from this moment on she'll be no more than fish-food, this will serve as a good lesson to anyone else who dares to do the same" There was nothing but water from all directions. The poor Eevee was here on a boat of brainwashed sociopaths who wanted her doom badly. The 2nd guard held her over the edge and her eyes widened at the sight of the surface, she'd never been this scared of water in her life, though she knew it was useless struggling, her instincts forced her to but the third guard held her too ensuring she was completely helpless. The first guard picked up the ball, though it was heavy he was strong and it didn't take much effort for him to pick it up and held it over the edge nodding to the other two letting them know he was ready when they were, the second guard whispered into the Eevees ear from behind "See you in hell, traitor"
The Eevee clenched her teeth tightly bracing herself for the water and taking a deep breath through her nose, the first guard dropped the ball into the ocean and as soon as it hit and went below the surface the other two guards pushed the helpless Eevee in after it. She closed her eyes tightly, hitting the surface feeling the coldness of the water shocking her body, she could already feel the ball pulling everything down further and further away from the surface, she opened her eyes and blinked rapidly a few times adjusting to the water, it didn't take long to adjust to it since she was a frequent swimmer and could hold her breath about 6 minutes but it wasn't going to do her much now.
She wondered why she was even holding her breath at all and why she wasn't trying to succumb to a quicker death and this was briefly replaced with an instinct to try to find a way out for her own survival, though she already knew struggling against the ropes that were tying her from behind was useless she tried anyway but her fingers were too far away to reach them, she gazed down at her belly and chest and couldn't help but think it was sort of cute she was in this pose before shaking her head and thinking "Not now! I have to get out of this!" Her heart was pounding rapidly burning up her reserves even quicker so she closed her eyes and tried to calm herself with some brief meditation, it worked a little bit but panic was still very much there. "Maybe this is all just a dream?" she tricked her mind. 
About a minute had passed since she went under and she began to wonder had she even dived this deep before since a heavy object was helping her beat her personal best, she also wondered just how deep the ocean floor was and then wondered if she'd drown before even reaching it. She gazed around and saw some shoals of fish swimming by, there was no sign of earthly things anywhere, no sand or seaweed and looking up she could no longer see the glimmering surface. At this point she began to feel intense regret for some of them things she never got around to doing with her life, oddly it didn't take long for her to realize "Hey, if this is how I go this isn't the worst for me anyway" How she was able to see the humor and positivity in a situation like this surely bordered on some type of mental illness, but she went along with it anyway because it was helping.
 Two minutes had gone by and there was still no sign of the ocean floor, part of her wanted to close her eyes and let the ocean take her into the afterlife with minimal repercussions and trauma but there was an even bigger part of her that wanted to keep them open and look around and somehow enjoy her final moments, she felt like she had entered a completely new world and she couldn't help but feel awe and wonder, the ocean seemed to sound increasingly more and more peaceful and soothing the deeper she went away from the chaotic over-world. Suddenly a feeling of tranquility hit her and she realized "I must of reached the acceptance part of dying" Her body wanted to let some air out and she did through her nose, watching the three bubbles trailing up away from her.
Two and a half minutes passed now and she could finally make out the seabed beneath her, she wanted to escape from the ropes not to return to the surface but to feed her curiosity about what was around her. "Damn it" she thought trying to move her arms again "Fucking ropes!" Her eyes widened a little as she saw she was nearing the bottom knowing an impact with the ball and sand was coming, she wasn't sure how to deal with this. There were some nearby corals she wanted to get a better look at and she couldn't help but feel a sense of bad luck she was landing on sand. "The waters not going to let me hit the floor with the ball..." she reminded herself so she stopped bracing for impact. She could feel the sudden strain coming on as her lungs began to realize there was no fresh air coming into them anymore. The ball hit the sand a little heavier than she had anticipated making a noticeable sound, she briefly bobbled up and down a little figuring about 3 minutes and 15 seconds had passed, then she began to wonder if she should hold out as long as possible or just give up after 4 minutes so she wouldn't suffer as much. "Maybe 4 and a half, it gets painful and scary after that point...im soooo deep under the water heh" She felt a little humor figuring some of her friends would be jealous of her in certain ways then felt bad they were unable to help her avoid getting here in the first place. She began to imagine herself simply releasing all of her remaining air in a nice steady stream in one go nearing the 5 minute mark then passionately and openly taking in the water. 
After looking around at some of the scenery she felt her little chest begin to start twitching, she made the conscious decision to close her eyes at this point and try to relax a bit, beginning to fantasize about the wonders of the afterlife knowing she had remained on a good path and believed rewards were waiting for her on the other side. She was quickly distracted however when she heard some sort of swirling noise and quickly opened her eyes, a male Vaporeon had curiously swam up to her gazing at her in fascination. "Hiya there!" he said to her. She wasn't sure what to feel or if this was happening or not but a positive introduction like this gave her hope he might somehow try to help her. 'Mmph!' she struggled a little trying to let him know she was stuck.
"Heh, why are you wearing those, they look uncomfortable" She tried biting her gag a little letting him know she hated wearing it. "Hmm..." he was confused but figured she wanted it off and swam to the other side of her and saw it was knotted from behind, he had never untied one of these in his life and didn't know what to do but figured maybe his teeth were strong enough to tear through it, he bit into it and yanked against it tearing it off before swimming back to her front. "Heh, is that better?" he asked playfully sticking his tongue out. The poor Eevee knew she couldn't say anything to him without wasting air and the water muffling her voice anyway but gave him a rather urgent nod, she quickly turned showing him the ropes tying her arms from behind trying to break them off, she also began to wonder if this was all futile since she couldn't see any sources of air anywhere but figured it was better she wasn't bound anyway. "Ummm...hmm" He swam over to the ropes and quickly bit into them, trying to tear them off, biting into her arm in the process, she opened her eyes widely and bit into her teeth trying not to yell out in pain.
"Oh, i-im sorry!" The Vaporeon exclaimed and swam back over worriedly, she couldn't help but think 'It doesn't matter just get these ropes off me!' gesturing him to biting into them again. "Okay uhhh..." He resumed biting them and the Eevee couldn't help but realize how dangerously close she was to drowning. 'Oh god, I gotta hang on!' she forced herself not to act on her instincts as the fifth minute rolled by. Her new friend bit them off and she quickly used her paws to hold her nose and maw quickly trying to think of a way out but she then remembered how deep she was and returning to the surface would probably mean she'd drown trying, besides the people who blamed her for murder would likely kill her anyway, should she just die down here anyway? "Is that better?" he swam back to her. She began looking around for another air source, a cave, an air-pocket anything and realized there was nothing, her focused turned from her survival back to her new friend however and she gazed at the smile on his face.
'Its my only chance!' she said to herself. She quickly nodded at him and gestured for a hug, her chest and tummy convulsing rapidly, a steady stream of bubbles now leaving her nose as her instincts to hold back were weakening. "A-a hug? Okay!" he smiled and swam forward cuddling her, quickly resting his head on her shoulder, noticing how soft her fur was. She panicked more and thought to herself 'Ah, no! Don't put your head there!' struggling up against him trying to push him away a little. The Vaporeon backed away a little bit feeling confused, gazing into her eyes "N-no?" he asked curiously before feeling the desperate Eevee pulling him forward into a kiss causing him to go wide-eyed before closing them. The Eevee sucked into him desperately not even sure this was going to work but was quickly given an ample supply of air, her own eyes widened in surprise and relief and the awkwardness of the situation, she took a few breaths from him, the desperation of needing air dropping as she breathed from him more and more calmly, feeling her acquaintance starting to instinctively kiss her. She felt more awkwardness at this but decided to kiss him back anyway, she was thankful for the air and glad everything wasn't over for her. She wondered if he was able to give her as much air as she needed feeling herself holding her breath again as he parted from her, she already felt vulnerable and helpless once again at this not even realizing how safe she felt embracing him.
"Heh-heh, that was awesome!" The Vaporeon exclaimed excitedly giving her a delighted look, she couldn't help but feel if this was his first ever kiss giving him an awkward smile back fully aware of her predicament. Her attention quickly turned back to the rope and ball still tied to her legs. "Wheeee!" The Vaporeon quickly swam around excitedly at the kissing causing her to worry. 'No, come back, you're my only air source!' she thought to herself as she hurridly bent down and pulled on the ropes dragging herself closer to the ball so her teeth could reach them, trying to tear them off with her canines. The Vaporeon swam back up to her "I never kissed anyone before its so amazing wow!" He smiled delightfully as she briefly struggled to tear the ropes off yanking her head a few times before feeling a rope weakening and pulling against it getting them off. She was free but still doomed, she was tempted to swim back to the surface but even with the help of her new friend knew it was best she wasn't found alive, she gazed back at him hopelessly, it seemed he had no idea just how much danger she was in.
She forced a smile anyway and hugged him and he quickly took her paw before excitedly saying "Let me show you around!" before wrapping her around his arms and using his legs and tail to swim towards some corals. All the poor little Eevee could do was simply go along with it as there was no way she was able to relax and take in anything. "This is where I usually get food, sometimes fish pop up from these while others swim past...hey, lets get some right now!" He chirped gazing down at her before she slowly gazed up into his eyes and nodded. He let her go and they both hovered over the coral waiting for any signs of some. They both waited patiently, to the Eevee it seemed like forever as her little chest began to convulse again, she felt so mortal compared to her evolved friend, she also noticed he didn't seem aware that she needed air, its almost as if he was never an Eevee himself to begin with.
She really didn't care much about food and gave up trying to get any as she felt her air reserves running out swimming rather desperately over to her new friend "Aww you scared them away, silly" noticing her swimming towards him. "Heh, you want, another hug!?" He laughed a little feeling her wrapping her limbs around him trying to put her lips up against his thinking to herself 'I need air! Its nothing to do with you' "You are pretty soft though" he smiled "And so quiet, you haven't said a word, yet" Trying to gently keep her mouth away to finish talking. The Eevee grew desperate, frustrated and embarassed all at once before forcefully lunging up against him, locking lips with him and breathing from him a few times, clingly tightly to him to stop him leaving as she filled up on air again, she couldn't help but genuinely kiss him though, grateful for the air and rescue, her eyes quickly opened as she realized how turned on she was getting from the whole situation, feeling a blush blanket most of her face as the Vaporeon kissed in return.
