ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Latias: -shivers as Susan brushes against her, but is quickly distracted by being lifted into the air- Wah!

-Showers, and has Jane keep her eyes shut so I can get into bed-

-Is looking at Nadia's numerous attempts to divebomb-

She'll get the hang of it...eventually.

-Susan drops Latias into the water, giggling-

-I look up from my book and go get something to eat-

Latias: -falls in the water, begins to surface, laughing- Haha! -realizes something seems...off, and stops rising with just her shoulders sticking out of the water-

Susan: So, about that punishme... -Stops, looks at Latias- Something wrong?

Latias: -hisses- I think I lost my bikini top! Help me find it. -begins turning around in the water-

Susan: Okay -Ducks down a few times, looking underwater each time- Well, this was unexpected... But in a good way or a bad way? -Finds some dark red fabric slowly floating underwater- Found it! -Lifts the fabric out of the water, revealing it to be... Only the left half of the bikini- Um...

Latias: Oh no! Even if we could find the other half, I can't wear it like that! -is becoming hysterical, and not overly careful about how high the water is on her-

-Returns from getting something to eat, sits back down on the beach-

Susan: I'll try looking for the other one, I might be able to fix it or at least make it cover you. -Ducks down again-

-After a few more failed attempts-

-Near tears-

<Nadia: "... I should just give up, shouldn't I?">

"..."

<Shaun: "But I thought that you wanted to fly more than anything in the whole world, Nadia...">

<Nadia: "Yeah, but-">

<Shaun: "All of those times that you jumped off of the roof of Tracer's lab, all those times when you would ask us to come with you to gaze at clouds, that one day that Draca flew you around... You're really ready to give that all up?">

"Shaun, she's just a little frustrated... Maybe we should call it a day..."

<Nadia: "... Fine, I'll give it one more shot...">

-Nadia flies up again and descends, apparently missing her target by the slimmest of margins-

<Nadia: "WHY?! WHY CAN'T I HIT IT?!">

"Oh, Nadia..."

<Nadia: "I don't understand it... (*sniffle*) I did everything that Draca told me to...">

-Teala goes to examine the target-

<Teala: "... Nadia, which claws did you try and strike the target with?">

<Nadia: "(*sniffle*) The ones on my right front leg, why?">

<Teala: "Can you show me them?">

-Nadia shows Teala the claws on her right front leg. Teala scrapes along the underside of one of her claws-

<Nadia: "H-H-HEY! W-W-What are you doing?!">

<Teala: "... It looks like you technically hit that target just now...">

<Nadia: "... What?">

-Teala places a flake of paint on one of the digits on her left hand and brings it up to Nadia's eye level-

<Teala: "You can check the target if you don't believe me. But it really does look like you hit the thing...">

<Nadia: "...">

"... Nadia, are you okay?"

Latias: -is trying to cover herself as best she can, suddenly cold and not having very much fun-

Susan: -Comes back up, looks at Latias- Come on, let's head in... -Ducks down, removes the armband and bikini top and then hands the top to Latias- <Here.> -Starts swimming back-

At the risk of sounding crass, how large is Susan's bust? I have a set image of Latias in my head, and need to know how the bikini fits.

I have no idea, never had to think about that. Probably slightly above average size.

Thanks. I thought you might have a general image of her, but maybe you're not a visual person, I don't know. Anyway, I basically just needed to see if the top would fit properly or not.

Latias: -does her best to cover herself with Susan's swimsuit, but finds that it is a smidge too big, and has to hold it on while she swims back to shore-

I had an idea but bust size wasn't a major consideration

-I look over at the ocean, Susan and Latias are swimming in, I look a little more carefully and notice something-

Me: Wait, Susan's not wearing the armband. I wonder wh -Spots Latias, the light blue bikini top she is holding on is not the one she went into the water wearing- Oh.

Susan: -Looks back for a moment- <You doing okay back there?>

-sounds of THUMPs and WHACKs can be heard throughout Route 201-

I've gotta be STRONGER! -backfists the nearest trunk, then cross-straights the next-

-On the sidelines, a Weedle, a Charizard, a Nidoran♂, and a Blastoise watch with increasing interest-

-Looks at the target-

Looks like she's done it.

Draca: <Good job Nadia.>

Latias: Yes. I'm fine. It's just a little hard to swim with only one arm.

Susan: -Swims back to Latias- <Use your free hand to hold on, I'll swim both of us in.>

Latias: -does what Susan tells her to do-

-Nadia begins to cry-

<Milo: "What's wrong with you? I thought that you'd be happy for finally hitting that stupid tar- OW!">

-Is slapped by Lardna-

<Lardna: "Milo, shut up.">

"Nadia... What's wrong?"

<Nadia: "N-N-Nothing... (*sniffle*) I'm j-j-just ... (*sniffle*)">

<Shaun: "I think she might be feeling a little overwhelmed, Tracer...">

"... Should we take a break from practicing until tomorrow?"

<Nadia: "Yeah... (*sniffle*) I'd like that...">

"Would you happen to be able to help again tomorrow, Dr. Tagg?"

Susan: -Finishes swimming in, walks onto the beach-

Me: -Hands Latias her shirt from the pile of clothes she left next to Susan's clothes and where I was sitting- Looks like you two had a bit of trouble out there.
