Surf's up!

[indigo_league]

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~!

The Beldum makes a ringing little noise, like poor signal feedback, but its single eye seems happy for the attention.

"Not to my knowledge, but I'm happy to admit mine isn't as extensive as some people's." Her work sparks, but she doesn't flinch - the Impidimp and Beldum both do, though. "I have a Magnemite that I'll be testing it with as well, once I've confirmed it functions as intended, and then I'll be proceeding to testing with other Steel-types."

Thace nods. He twitches slightly at the spark, but his focus is on the idea. The Honedge on his back waves her tassel. "Vrig is Steel-Ghost. And I have direct experience with at least some Pokemon being sensitive to radio transmissions. I haven't experimented further, in part because I lack supplies to achieve the level of finite control testing would require. I am very interested in establishing better communication, however."

Entrapta glances up, briefly, looking at the sword-shaped Pokemon on the soldier-shaped man - and then immediately back to her work. "I don't believe my work would be successful with Ghost-type Pokemon. My goal is to replicate pulses of magnetic origin, not spiritual."

She's dismissive again, but in the sense of very clearly knowing what her goal is and what she intends of it. Because she continues talking, "If you were to want to work on creating your own communicator for Ghost Pokemon, I'd be more than happy to help you with the technical aspects of it, if you like!" She looks up again, and gives him a grin. "I've been told that asking for permission is an important part of messing with other people's work."

That's fair enough, honestly. Thace was just offering in case it might prove useful.

"It is very important, yes."

Thace's smile is small and controlled, but he gives her one in return. "I would like to better communicate with all Pokemon eventually, but I thought that it would be beneficial to start with the radio frequencies that caught the attention of so many. If you're interested, I could show you the frequencies and the spread I was using--"

The bat on his shoulder protests.

"I doubt a repeat broadcast will be necessary, Brodar."
