Nessa, Gym Leader of Hulbury and famed Water-type trainer, steps lightly onto the warm sand, her sleek blue swimsuit perfectly matching the sparkling ocean before her. Her skin glistens with a faint sheen of sunscreen, and her dark hair is pulled back in a loose ponytail. She breathes in the salty air, smiling at the promise of a refreshing swim.
Nessa wades deeper, feeling the cool embrace of the ocean against her skin. She dives forward, slicing through the water with practiced strokes, her body moving effortlessly. The underwater world is a blur of shifting light and color, schools of Magikarp darting away as she glides past.
Nessa coughs and blinks, the unexpected taste making her grimace. She pats her stomach lightly, feeling a strange tightness begin to form. The sensation quickly builds, her belly swelling noticeably beneath her swimsuit, taut and round from the excess water.
[@ch_1]Nessa[/@ch_1_d]"Well, that’s what I get for getting too excited,"[/@ch_1_d] she murmurs, her tone a mix of amusement and embarrassment. She gives her belly a gentle, reassuring pat, marveling at how funny and odd it feels. Despite the oddity, she can’t help but smile at herself and the silly mishap.
Nessa moves slowly, adapting to the fullness in her stomach. She lets the waves carry her, feeling lighter as she relaxes. Around her, a playful Mantine leaps from the water, and she grins, waving back in greeting.
As Nessa emerges from the sea, she takes a deep breath, feeling refreshed and somehow closer to the water than ever. She glances down at her now-normal belly and laughs softly, shaking her head at the day’s unexpected adventure. The beach glows in the golden hour, promising more memories to come.
