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 --

"I've noticed. Is there any commonality at all? What is the reason we were brought here and not others?"
The way his voice goes soft, Thace is mostly wondering aloud and not really expecting an answer. After a moment, he sighs.
"Of course, the different backgrounds could be a barrier to compiling and sharing what we arrivals have learned about this world."
no subject
"If there are commonalities, they aren't known to me. Sometimes there will be several people from the same world; other times there will be only one. Whether or not we are alive, or human, does not seem to matter. From what I can tell, new arrivals seem to happen roughly once per week, but that's the only pattern I've noticed. That and everyone being converted into a powerless human."
His last statement almost seems to go without saying to her. "Different backgrounds, plus some people are brought in to be part of Team Rocket, so they have reason to be less forthcoming."
no subject
"Someone else has mentioned Rocket. Are you willing to tell me what you know of it?"
no subject
"I don't know very much about them even now." And that does bother her, honestly. "They're an entrenched group of criminals who are known for stealing pokemon, and the Jennies don't seem to be all that effective at containing them. What their actual goal might be beyond power for its own sake, I don't know, but I do wonder about their true reach, as well as their ultimate intentions." They've got to be stealing those pokemon for a reason, don't they?
no subject
Just the stealing Pokemon thing bothers him a lot, and with an obvious disconnect from the naive (but not malicious) ideals of the people here, who knows what they could be doing to those stolen Pokemon!
"Do you know of any efforts to stop them in the past?"
no subject
There's also the question of created pokemon like Blade, but Cassandra doesn't know for sure that Team Rocket is involved in that, or if it's someone else (or someone behind those people, who for all she knows are behind Team Rocket as well... assuming they exist, of course).
no subject
For all his complaints, Brodar actually agrees, not that Thace necessarily can know for certain because the bat follows up the agreement by blowing a raspberry at the Joy, who is not impressed.
Thace waits until they're out of sight before he says anything else. "And very little was learned from this."
But he returns his attention entirely to Cassandra. "Thank you for being forthcoming. You have given me many things to think about and look into."

The bat just laughs, and Thace turns back to Cassandra with a small smile. "Should we meet again, my name is Thace."
no subject
And now the man is telling her his name. Or the name he uses. "Cassandra."
no subject
And unless she stops him, Thace will exit the Pokecenter.
