 ~Raven
The combination of Zori's nudge and Arizona's patting happening almost simultaneously caused Raven to practically jump out of his skin and let out a squeal in sheer fright. This sudden spasmodic motion his body naturally went through when prodded unsuspectingly sent him falling ungracefully backwards into the watery depths. Fortunately after a moment of still continuous flailing he resurfaced, his pants, still filled with air, keeping him afloat. "N-nice to meet you 'Awizona'..." He managed to exchange greetings even after this whole ordeal; even repeating the female Riolu's name like she had said it, just assuming that's now she preferred it to be pronounced."I'm Raven."

  Lumi---&--- ArizonaOnly a few moments after the "kiss" did Lumi realize what she had just done.
The Lanturn let out a meep and turned away, blushing deeply.
She took her antenna in her fins and twisted it nervously.
"I-I'm sorry, I though you were..." She trailed off softly.
Oh Arceus, how embarrassing!
Arizona laughed loudly as Raven fell into the pool.
When he floated to the surface, she held out a paw so she could help him back out.
"Ish good ta' meet you too, Waven!" She replied.

  Zori & LumonLumon tried to restrain himself from hiding behind his fins again, feeling guilty. "S-sorry... I... It's m-my fault..." He stammered, trying to push away the butterflies in his stomach. It didn't work. It never did.
Zori yelped as the Riolu went under, and dove in after him, swimming over to his side. She surfaced, and relaxed, treading water as she realized that Raven was fine. She floated on her back, relaxing in the water now that she was already soaked.

~Raven
Seeing that he now had company, Raven figured it best to to stay afloat where he was, denying the offered hand to help him out with a simple nod. He would have motioned for the other Riolu to join them but for one he was deathly afraid to move a muscle at the moment and also there was a fact she obviously had some electric type blood in her...
"Uhmm, so what do I do now?.." He asked hesitantly to no one in particular; having no choice but to learn how to swim by this point and pretty damn quick if he ever wanted to get out.

 Lumi---&--- Arizona---&--- LisaLumi shook her head lightly.
"N-No, it was mine. I-I have poor judgment... She said shyly.
She was still nervously wringing her antennae and blushing.
Arizona giggled and sat down at the edge of the pool, dipping her feet in.
Although her father was a Raichu, she still didn't have any electric powers.
"Oooooh~" She purred, dipping her paws in and splashing some water at Raven.
"Peeeeeerfect~"
Peeking into the room through the doorway were two dark eyes.
They belonged to Lisa the thief, and they were eying Zori's necklace.
"That'll be mine soon..."

Zori & LumonZori smiled, floating lazily near Raven and Arizona. "Kick your feet, Raven." She told him, relaxing into the gentle embrace of the pool water. It was so easy to just lie there, floating, and not have to worry. But someone had to teach Raven to swim. "Watch me." She turned over, and kicked her legs out in a simple, graceful doggy paddle. After a few moments, she switched strokes, using something that was more of a breast-stroke than anything, returning to the young Riolu's side. "I'm right here if you need me~" She reassured him gently.
Lumon shook his head as well, his face still a pale violet as he blushed. "I-I should be m-more careful..." He paused, glancing up at the Lanturn. The butterflies in his stomach got worse, and he felt tongue-tied at best. "OHWHYDOYOUHAVETOBESOPRETTY?!" He blurted out, frustrated at his own lack of nerve. He suddenly slapped his fins over his mouth, his blush covering his entire body. "I-I'm s-sorry.... I-I d-d-didn't m-mean to s-say that out l-loud...." NOW he wished he was floating upsidedown. And not just out of embarrassment. He covered his eyes with his fins, figuring that if he couldn't see her, he couldn't be as embarrassed.

"Nyeeh..."The Riolu peeped out as he was splashed at, trying his hardest to keep his full attention on Zori's lessons but the water being thrown in his face didn't help the process much. Taking matters into his own hands, he started just as she had, flipping off of his back and dipping his front paws into the water. So far soo good, his pants still keeping him afloat with a bubble of air like awkwardly placed water wings. Within moments he was in movement, paddling just as Zori had done though considering his humanoid shape he looked quite strange as he doggy paddled efficiently. "Ha! I'm doing it!~" The slightest bit of a smile appearing on his maw as he managed to stay in motion, swimming to the nearest side and pushing off, proceeding to do laps and work up his technique.

Lumi---&--- Arizona---&--- LisaLumi's face went beet red and she turned to stare at Lumon.
"R-Really...? You think I'm... Pretty?" She asked softly.
Was this Chinchou being serious, or was he just messing with her like some of the others?
Arizona splashed and giggled as she watched Raven swim.
Suddenly, she leaned forward as if to try to grab him.
Just before she could fall into the water, a paw reached out and grabbed her by the scruff of the neck.
"I gotcha', kid!" Lisa shouted as she stood behinf Arizona, grabbing the Riolu by the scruff of the neck.
She knew this was Jessica's kid, and the Lucario would have her head if anything happened to her.
She pulled the Riolu back up and sat her down near the pool.
"One of ya' needs to stay focused," The Furret said.
She glanced over at Zori.
"You look like the oldest. Why ain't you watchin' her?"

Zori & LumonZori smiled. "You're doing great, Raven!" She called out, pricking her ears. She spotted movement out of the corner of her eye, and turned, seeing the Riolu lean over the pool. As a Furret appeared, pulling her back, she moved closer with curiousity. The yelling began immediately. Zori swam over to the side of the pool with a mildly irritated flick of her ears. "I don't know her." The Eevee answered rather bluntly, placing her paws on the edge of the pool. "Doesn't mean I wasn't going to help her if she fell in, though." She clambered out of the pool, shaking the water off her hind paws as she heaved her little body up and onto the deck. "But what's the point in catching her if she'll only make the same mistake twice? Let them dip their own paws in the water, and bring them to shore if they fall. It's how I was taught." She held out a charcoal paw. "Zori of Team Stormcloud; nice to meet you."
The Chinchou twisted his fins nervously. Why did she even have to ask?! Had she even SEEN other members of their species? She had the loveliest fins he'd ever seen! Such bright eyes, too. Almost as bright as her antennae. "O-of course...!" He replied with a tentative stammer. "W-why would I s-say it if I d-didn't m-mean it...?" He asked her, or... TRIED to ask her. He needed to work on forming coherent sentences...

~Raven
Raven was having the time of his life wading back and forth across the width of the pool. His fun unfortunately cut short as he caught sight of an unfamiliar figure striking up suspicious conversation with his master. Swimming his way over without fault he struggled a bit to climb out at the edge before finally getting to his feet after he picked up his hat and placed it back on his head. "A-are you alright?" He quickly asked the Eevee with a concerned look on his face. For once she looked strangely stern and it worried him a bit. Wet clothing not being his forte though he shuffled a bit in his place in discomfort, still soakied.

Lumi---&--- Arizona---&--- LisaLumi blushed a little deeper and blanked for a moment.
"Well, um..." She said softly.
The Lanturn swam a little closer to Lumon.
"I-I'm Lumi..." She introduced herself sheepishly.
Arizona let out another giggle and began nomming her own toes.
Lisa stepped a little closer to the mouthy Eevee.
She kept her eyes locked on that necklace she was wearing.
"Lisa, Team Gravity..." She replied.
"That's, uh... Quite a necklace ya' got there. Where'd you get it?" She asked.
It didn't really matter, soon enough the necklace would be hers.

Zori & LumonZori gently brushed her tail against Raven's arm. "I'm alright, Raven. No need to worry." Although her tone was uncertain. She shifted uncomfortably under the gaze of the Furret, flicking her ears back. It was like her eyes were glued to her necklace. "My friend gave it to me..." The thought of Legacy made her voice turn soft and warm, her gaze dropping shyly to her paws.
Lumon let out a nervous chuckle. His antennae flashed a little brighter, showing his amusement. "M-my n-name is Lumon." Lumon and Lumi. How strange. In any case, it proved that their species were terrible at naming their children. His siblings had been named Glow, Shimmer, and Strobe, after all. And he thought he'd been given the more creative name. The thought made him smile.

~Raven
Raven stood guard cautiously, despite Zori's assuring words. Though the aura reading from the Furret before them seemed innocent enough, there was something malice and barely detectable that kept him on edge. Instinctively he felt the need to lunge at the normal type right then and there but thinking back to last time he acted on whim he managed to keep better control of himself; for now simply directing a threatening glare at the unnamed evil.

Lumi---&--- Arizona---&--- LisaLumon...
They had such similar names...
"I_It's short... for Luminara..." She said softly.
The Lanturn felt the need to share this.
She was proud of her name, she felt it sounded pretty.
Arizona was now rolling on the ground.
Her arms were wrapped around her tail, which was pulled between her legs, and she was giggling happily.
Lisa nodded slowly.
"I'm a, uh... connoisseur of fine jewelry... Do you mind if I... Take a look at it?" The Furret asked.
If she could just manage to get her paws on it without making too much a ruckus...

Zori & LumonZori lifted a paw, shyly.
She touched the pendant with her nose, and it shimmered slightly. She didn't really like anyone touching it; it felt... personal. Like someone was reaching through her insides. The idea made her feel sick.
However, not wanting to offend the Furret, she nodded cautiously in agreement, her golden eyes dark with conflicting emotions.
He fluffy tail subconsciously wrapped itself about Raven's ankle, feeling the need for some form of comfort.
At least the chain was nice and tight. Suki had once tried to take it off and look at it. It hadn't fit back over her head. Boy had that been confusing. Especially when one considered that slipping it over her head was how she'd gotten it on.
Lumon smiled. "Luminara..." He murmured shyly, his voice sounding dazed and faraway. It was such a pretty name...
A flash of her antennae, however, brought him back down to Earth, blinking furiously and rubbing his eyes with his fins.
"It's s-so p-pretty..."
