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 --

For what it's worth.
no subject
[She can't exempt herself, after all.]
It's just... [She gestures helplessly.] Things get chaotic here sometimes. And because we're not from this world, we're not - we don't approach things the same way.
no subject
Guess it's just a little sore for people who've been here longer. More time to realize we're not totally trusted.
no subject
[And Cassandra would know.]
no subject
Some people have been here for close to ten years. It's... got to be even harder for them. People who are gym leaders, who proved themselves already.
I don't know how they put up with it.
no subject
[Cassandra wonders what she might be like in ten years. Already she's noticed her hair actually growing longer like a human's; that means she'll probably age like one too, won't she?]
How they put up with it probably varies. In my world, some simply accepted it, while others were understandably bitter.
[Cassandra honestly isn't sure how she'd felt about humans then, beyond a fundamental distrust that she hasn't quite been able to shake even now that she is one herself.]
no subject
[A very weird thought. He'll almost be thirty, soon. Another very, very strange thought.]
That makes sense. I'm sorry it's something your world's been through.
no subject
[And not just because warrior life expectancies didn't tend to be that long, unless they were particularly strong or skilled... or far away from the Organization.]
In fairness, there was some reason for humans to be concerned about us. But many of them took it too far, and it didn't really help our situation any.
[Cassandra had actually had it rather worse as she'd also been feared by other warriors, but she's been trying not to assume that people here are the same.]
no subject
I take it you're not human, then?
[There's curiosity, rather than accusation in the question.]
no subject
We start out human. But when the Organization takes us, they... change us.
no subject
If it's an uncomfortable subject, we don't have to keep talking about it.
no subject
Humans in my world know what we are and where we come from. Most of them hate and fear us. I forget sometimes that humans here don't know that.
