Having never held his breath for more than 30 seconds, Treecko sought help from his friend Froakie in learning how to hold it longer. So, at least once every couple days, the two would head to a nearby pool where Treecko would practice under Froakie's guidance, gradually learning new techniques and strengthening his lungs. A few months in, Treecko can now easily handle 3 minutes without air, and even push himself to just under 5! Here, he's been under for about 4 and a half minutes, and while his lungs are burning, he still stays sitting on the bottom as Froakie gives him a reassuring thumbs up and a smile between their own puffed cheeks. Maybe someday, Froakie will be struggling himself when Treecko finally surfaces!
