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~!

1 -- YOU CAN'T AVOID IT FOREVER, MARU

[If Maru is only here for the tan, then he's doing it wrong. That mesh shirt is going to leave the weirdest tan lines and that umbrella is just a hater. Lance, the resident beach baby, knows how to tan (or in his case, get tanner) like a pro and he's coming up to Maru with a disapproved frown on his face and a bottle of sunscreen in the other. He's also shirtless, with his skin dewy from both sun and tanning oil, with a pair of palm tree printed swimming shorts.

Indeed, this is Lance's safe place and it shows. He's going to make sure everybody else knows the beauty of the beach.]


Please don't talk about my ex-girlfriend that way. It's rude.

[Not that he's ever had an ex.]

WATCH HIM

[But Lance, all the dignified people back home used parasols! It's just what you do! Though, as his friend approaches, despite the disapproval on Lance's face, Shadowmaru beams. It's always good to see him. And it never fails to boost his spirit.]

[Though that look falls flatter than a Stunfisk in a moment. His Growlithe has no such compunctions, and wags her tail so hard the sand flicks up.]


Your... girlfriend?

[Please excuse him while he looks around. Clearly expecting an actual human person to appear out of the sand. Or the ocean.]

[Those people might be dignified, but they also sound BORING. What's the point of coming to the beach just to sit under an umbrella the entire time? You can do that at home for free!]

You're calling someone fat and salty and horrid. [Lance bends down to pet the Growlithe between her ears.] I never knew you were the type to talk shit about people like that.
sassymaru: (h | and all your dreams)

Lance...

[Said in the tone of someone who is... incredibly concerned by someone's words. He's looking at his friend as if Lance has grown a second head.]

I was speaking of the ocean. Not a person. Are you well?
