ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

-has fallen asleep up the beach-

- Finishes drying myself off -

No problem, Anom!

Chord: -Waves.- <Bye.>

Guardé: <Foul bird. To think I would fight with a hatchling. Now, where was-> -Notices the other Sandcastle.- <...What.>

Chord: <Aw. Never mind, Guardé. At least your sandcastle was the best this beach had seen for a few minutes, at least.>

Guardé: <...>

Thresher: <I never did get your name.>

-Behind the rocks, my other Pokemon are busy plotting how best to get under Thresher's armor-

Tulip: (looking over at the other sandcastle) <Wow...>

Odette: <Quack!>

-Flying above the second sandcastle-

Copahue — <Now that looks cute. Well organized, servicing, even durable. I betcha that other castle's not gonna last long, not with that weirdo there...>

Abigail: <Oh! I'm Abigail, or Abby for short... who are you?>

Docks

Huh... looks pretty good from the outside...

-knocks on it-

Feels solid too...

Rascal: <Why a name that means Secret?>

Naga: <I'm just a regular Feebas, I guess. I don't really have a lot of fancy moves, gurble.>

Yeah, the guy promised that it was airtight, and eco-friendly!

Luna:<Straw has a Milotic named Naida. Maybe she can teach you something?>

Thresher: -Starts moving in place while looking at the ground- <I'm Thresher, though I guess my name would make more sense once I evolve.>

Maybe I'll get a smoothie here...

Abigail: <Oh? What does "Thresher" mean?>

Docks

Eco-friendly...? What did they mean by that?

I have no idea, I think it just means that it uses very little fuel.

Thresher: <To Tagg my evolved form's feelers remind him of agricultural flails. As you can see...>

-Pans out to show that he's well, a metal seed-

<That's not quite true of me yet.>

-Ichtacya blinks and remains there dumbfounded-

Ichtacya — <Well, I wish I knew, honest... but I don't recall why my first Trainer named me that...> — continues distractedly — <and it wasn't like she would understand me if I asked.>

-coyly-

Ichtacya — <So, does "Rascal" mean what I think it means?>

-Somewhere else along the beach-

-Nadia is swimming out in shallow water with Lake-

<Nadia: "It feels so good here! I wonder why we haven't ever gone here be-">

-And is swamped by a massive wave, washing her back on the beach-

<Nadia: "(*cough splutter*) WHAT? How did tha-">

<Teala: "Oops! I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to do that, Nadia!">

<Nadia: "Urgh... (*hack*) Is it really that hard to differentiate between 'surfing from point A to point B' and 'surfing to swamp someone?'">

-Coming up in the water-

<Iggy: "It's a little harder than it looks, Nadia.">

"Well... At least we're on a fairly smo- ... Wait, where's Gene again?"

-Elsewhere on the beach-

-A Sandslash is approaching Tagg and his Pokemon-

<Gene: "Oh hey there, Tagg! What was with the new guy from earlier?">

Going away for a bit. I want to finalize my profile for Rex. I've been putting it off for weeks. I might pop into the chatroom, though.

-Notices Gene-

Oh hey Gene, the new guy is this fellow by the name of Rex.

Muddy: <Have you seen the kids anywhere by any chance Gene?>

Helios: <Yeah, we haven't seen them in a while.>

-Lake is also washed up onto the beach, along with a certain Dragonite, Ampharos and their trainer.-

Lake: <Wow, that was a big wave for somemon that just learned surf.>

Stratus: <No kidding...>

Lake: <Huh? Stratus? Woolly? Luke?>

Woolly: <Hi, Lake.>

"Oh man, I'm soaked. Oh! Lake! Been having fun?"

Lake: <Yeah, of course. Were you diving?>

Stratus: <Yep. Just leaned how. But if I had know Teala was here, I probably wouldn't have come over this way. No offense.>

Abigail: <Oh? Well, you should get there someday...>

<Tangent has us waiting longer than normal to evolve, actually. Says it helps us study faster... Though he seems to be thinking I'm ready to evolve lately. I'm not sure if I want to or not yet, though...>

Docks

Hmm. What kind of engine?

-wakes up and heads over to the smoothie stand, bring Ian, Anakin, and Weavile with me-

-With Tagg-

<Gene: "Oh so that's who he was... And no, I can't say that I have, Tagg...">

-Elsewhere on the beach-

<Teala: "Oh... I mean... Um...">

<Iggy: "It's fine, I had the same thing happen to me a few times when I was starting out with Surf, too.">

"Luke? What happened to you all?"

<Nadia: "Yeah, where'd you all come from?">

...

...

He didn't say.

But I assume it's powerful enough to power the sub.

I see. Thanks Gene.

By the rocks

Thresher: <Why? You'll be stronger, much stronger. Vanilluxe may be a massive chatterbox but I can't deny he's strong.>
