Not much is known about Pachu, he is just a pup, after all!

July 5th, 2006 A little egg rested on a ledge, just inches from the surface of the lake, near the shore. The egg twitched, a long crack going along the side. Suddenly, it burst open, and a little Tatsu appeared. Pachu’s nostrils snapped shut and his gills began to work as he felt himself floating downwards. It wasn’t a pleasant feeling, and he instinctively spread out his webbed feat to slow himself. He didn’t have the strength yet, though, to hold his feet out and the pressure of the water properly, and he did a forward flip in the water. Eventually, he hit the soft silt on the floor of the lake.
Koko watched this event, and smiled. This was the first aquatic Tatsu she had ever seen! She down dove, cradling the little pup in her arms, she could barely hold him, feeling his smooth, water resistant fur that was just like her own. She surfaced, a grin on her face. “Kanako, look at this, I found an aquatic!”
Kanako looked up from behind a bush, he had been looking for berries. “I don’t want anything to do with pups. Last time I took care of one it ended up being.... OHHH IT IS SO CUTE!” he squealed, unable to contain himself. It was very cute, and he had never seen a Tatsu like this before. “Aquatic?” he asked, eyeing the gills and tail. “Does that mean he lives under water?
”Of course it does, stupid” Said stormy. Everyone always thought she was so mean, but it was really just stupid people that irritated her. Like Kanako. He should have been named Kan-state-the-obvious. She snorted, looking at the pup, and her heart melted. “Aww he is such a cutey wooty...” she looked up, every one was staring at her. “Well... he is” she mumbled.
Candy’s ears perked up as she heard all the commotion. “What’s going on?” She asked, bouncing to them. That was the new game she had made for herself. She wouldn’t walk anywhere, she would BOUNCE! It was sooo much fun. Funnity fun fun fun. “OHH! A PUP! AWW HE IS ADORABLE!” she screamed happily, practically tackling Koko.
Pachu squirmed. He was in open air now, and he felt funny. Breathing through his nose was weird, and he felt like he wasn’t getting enough air. He felt light, with out as much resistance as there is in the water. The water was all he had known for his entire life, although it had only been a few minutes. He whined, batting his paws around, trying to find the water and get back in it.
”Stormy don’t be so mean... Kanako be quiet..and you...I don’t know you but calm down” said Koko. What had been a peaceful moment between her and Kanako was now chaos. She was almost knocked off her feet by that crazy one, too! The little one seemed to be a bit fitful, making little whining noises and pawing about, it made it hard for her to hold him. She thought for a second, and then looked at Kanako. “Kanako, can you build a little underwater pen for this little guy? He can’t really swim yet, so you don’t want to make it too tall” She said. It seemed mean, but the lake could be dangerous for a newborn like this!
Kanako grinned. “OK Koko....ok ok..” He picked up some big rocks, and placed them in water that was up to his waist in a circle that was about 4 feet in diameter, and then used little rocks to fill in the holes. It was only about 10 inches tall, but it would get the job done. Kanako sighed, he hoped this Tatsu didn’t turn out like Stormy had. He chose to ignore her comment about him being stupid. He knew he wasn’t, and that was all that mattered.
Stormy glared at Koko. “Your not MY Mamiren, so I don’t have to listen to you. I wall be as mean to Kanako as a please” she growled. The poor little aquatic was making such a fuss... she couldn’t stand seeing it sad, so she snatched the pup up from Koko before she could do anything about it, and placed him in the water. “I am going to take care of this aquatic, and I don’t care what you all think” she said, throwing her head in the air. “And his name is Pachu” She stuck her hand under water, lovingly stroking his head.
Candy watched them fight, tilting her head to the side. She never fought with anyone. Everything was so happy and fun, what is the point of fighting? She bounced over next to Stormy, and looked at the adorable little pup. “Ohhh your taking care of him? Can I help, can I can I can I? Ohhh Pachu that is a cool name I would have named him... ummm BOUNCY! Yes I think bouncy is a better name but I suppose it doesn’t matter to you why are you all yelling at each other?” she took a few heaving breaths after her big long run on sentence.
Stormy looked over at Candy. “Shut up”

[quote="July 11th, 2006] Stormy looked down, petting the little aquatic. She had been taking care of it for a while now. He really was rather cute. “Pachu, you arnaud stupid like the others you know. You never bother me” she said happily. It was true. Normally if she spent this much time with anyone, she would have developed a hate for them by now. Maybe it was maternal instincts, or maybe it was that Pachu couldn’t talk, but she had really liked the little guy!
Pachu moved slowly around the bottom of his home. It was small, but he felt protected in his dark, soundless world. And there always seemed to be a comforting hand, feeding him, making him comfortably. He turned his head upward, rubbing his head on the hand, and then lovingly gave it a lick. Suddenly, he felt a lurch as his body went upward. This was familiar, but it got him by surprise every time it happened. He felt the water rushing past his body as he was moved upwards, and then was released just as he felt the water break to the air above him on his back. Then he began to sink again. He moved his paws, spreading out the toes into more proper flippers. For a moment he didn’t move, and stayed in water, and then slowly began to drift down again. He moved his legs again, and stopped again. How weird.
Stormy squealed in delight. Pachu was, however slowly, starting to swim! She felt like a proud mother. But, it was odd because she herself couldn’t swim. Well, she most likely could, but she had never tried. She was too afraid, because..well. She wasn’t an aquatic, she wasn’t made to go in the water like they are. But, she figured that she would have to learn eventually, so she could go swimming with Pachu when he was older!
Pachu continued to paddle, but soon felt his little muscles complain, and let himself drift to the bottom. The sensation of floating in the water completely on his own was very, very exiting. It made him feel strong and independent, although in reality he was just as helpless. After some time of rest, he hopped up and down a bit in the water, trying to get the sensation back, but he couldn’t get high enough. Darn. He would just have to wait until next time the hand pulled him to the surface and dropped him down. [
