Surf's up!
Who: Everybody!
Where: Fuchsia City Beach
When: July 15th
Summary: Get yo beach fun on
As far as perfect summer days are concerned, this one is as perfect as they get. The sun is warm, the breeze brings just the right amount of needed refreshment, and the ocean waves are totally gnarly. Because that is what you say when a wave is good.
Seeing as this party has been 'organised' by a group of beach bums, their surfing buddies, and a group of very relaxed Pikachu, it's best not to expect anything too structured out of the day. That would totally harsh the vibe. No, this is very much a 'show up whenever, do whatever, be chill' sort of meet-up.
There's a little stand where visitors can rent all manner of surfboards, wakeboards, and floats. Not for rent, but definitely for fun, is a giant, blow-up Cresselia float. Anyone wanting to join the party need only climb on board to be towed across the water by the surf-stand owner's Blastoise, which is having just as much fun as you are.
Always able to Detect an opportunity, several smaller stands of local merchants can be found selling everything you could ever want in the name of hydration and refreshment. Ice-cream, sodas, fresh water! You name it, and someone is bound to have it.
And while there really are no organised events, ever so often the surfers (human and Pikachu alike) will hold impromptu surfing contests. Feel free to join them. Or feel just as free to tap someone on the arm for some surfing lessons. You might even snag a small, electric instructor.
Speaking of snagging an electric buddy -- that, unfortunately, is the one rule this party does have: No battling and catching the Pikachu!. If you happen to hit it off with one and have a defining character moment after which it decides to stay with you? That's fine. But seriously. No battle. Not even mock-battles between friends. Vibes. Harshed. Let's not.
As evening begins to creep down on the shore and a beautiful sunset bathes the beach in golden light, a bonfire is lit, and food starts appearing everywhere.... though it is all, unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you swing), strictly vegetarian. Anyone craving a good, meaty burger (or an old-fashioned marshmallow) better have brought their own, because here you will find only vegetarian substitutes.
So feel free to drop by, catch some waves, share some food, and who knows, maybe you might even make some new friends. As they say --
Surfs up~!

I mean, when I touched one, it felt kinda plastic-y to me.

[She forgot that.]
Plastic isn't good to burn, it gets really smelly.
no subject
[She sticks out her hand.]
I'm Claudia.

Hi, I'm Newt.

[Because no offense, but it's a kind of funny name for a little girl.]

What do you like best about newts?
[It's always good to talk to kids about the stuff they're interested in, after all.]
no subject
Some of them are really colourful and they're small and can fit in small places just like me.
[That may have been part of why she got the name.]
And they swam in water, and some of them were poisonous! ....I really wish I could have seen one. They don't have any Earth animals here.

[If Claudia were better at school she'd wonder if that meant humans are a kind of pokemon, since back home humans were animals.
Unfortunately, she's not that good at school.]
You know a lot about this stuff.

Your mom and dad too?
no subject
No. They're dead.
This place took me away from my new mom. I live with my pokemon team now.
no subject
[But you're little. It's different for Claudia. She's fourteen now. That's practically an adult!]
no subject
I don't need anyone to take care of me?
no subject
[She's something like nine, right? Nine still had to have a baby-sitter. Eleven, now, eleven was different.]
no subject
[There are probably very few people who have been adopted so thoroughly as Newt was by her starter pokemon.]
Plus this place is easy to survive in. Nothing's even trying to kill us. They don't have a school to go to but that's okay because I just try to learn as I go. I can multiply and divide numbers and I can read whole chapter books now.

Mysteries are the best. They don't have Nancy Drew books here but there's a series with a girl called Nancy Belden and her Lillipup. They solve mysteries and they're really good.
