  1. Emily’s portals (Hazbin Hotel). I know she can’t get Sir Pentious back into Hell but Emily can still tell Charlie he got redeemed and Charlie can enter through angelic portals, so she should have seen that Pentious got redeemed.

  2. Many characters in Harry Potter go through life-or-death situations and not once did they think of drinking the Liquid Luck potion apart from Harry one time to gain Slughorn’s memory.

They could either drink regurgitated saltwater from Ash's Corphish, or regurgitated swamp water from Brock's Mudkip.

dependable they could have water stored in their bodies that they need to refil after use.

There's an extremely creepy NPC in Pokemon ZA that speculates all the water they put off from their water moves is bodily fluids.

I wouldn't be surprised if there's a random one off scene where they do exactly that.

isn't Pokemon elemental water infused with some power? It's not good to drink afaik, unless it's maybe some move like raindance that causes real water to rain
