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~!

Ah, yeah. That tracks. Monks are usually about that kind of thing here. And on Earth. Think you'll head back there? Or do some exploration?

[There's a lot to explore here, after all.]

One of the creatures from the wormhole. An extremely powerful one. It could drain the energy out of anything it touched.
insidegalra: (Look upon it and have hope.)

I will go back for a little while. I made a commitment to work with them that I haven't entirely finished. I don't believe I'll be staying in Violet much longer, however. My traveling companions will want to move on.

[If Shiro follows the direction of Thace's glance around, he'll see two women. The one holds herself like a fighter, but the other is very much a Young Teenager...and quite possibly trying to flirt with a boy.]

Has anyone looked into the wormholes? There might be ways to predict if and where they might reopen, or track the energy to the source.
shiro2hero: (which selfie filter do i use)

[personal profile] shiro2hero 2020-08-14 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I know that feeling. [He does, indeed, follow that gaze, and ends up smiling.] They're not easy to wrangle, sometimes, are they?

[Traveling with others, he mostly means. But also teenagers.]

I think so. The Elite 4 were doing most of the research work. But a few of us did too. Armin may have. Ford Pines knows a lot about them, too.
insidegalra: (Crooked smile)

[personal profile] insidegalra 2020-08-14 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
This world seems like I shouldn't have to worry, but I do.

[The small smile says Thace doesn't really mind though. He goes serious again after that. Research mode activate!]

I will make an attempt to find and speak with both of them, if I can.
shiro2hero: (sure is a cow)

[personal profile] shiro2hero 2020-08-15 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
Even in a world like this, there's ways to get into trouble. Safer trouble - but, still trouble.

[The worst that happens here is getting arrested. Which he has seen.]

Sounds good. I'd talk to Armin either way - he's pretty much the water pokemon expert.
insidegalra: (Look upon it and have hope.)

[personal profile] insidegalra 2020-08-15 05:48 am (UTC)(link)
[Thace nods, because he can't imagine a world where it's not possible to get into trouble. But there's interest in his expression.]

Water pokemon are something I haven't had much opportunity to encounter yet. Is he open to being contacted through his Pokegear and ID?
shiro2hero: ([sappy song lyrics here])

[personal profile] shiro2hero 2020-08-15 07:47 am (UTC)(link)
Usually he is, yeah. And he's usually excited to talk about them, too.

I don't know anyone here who's done as much research and work with water types as Armin has. It's really impressive.

[And Shiro's more than just a little proud of him.]
insidegalra: (Sheepish grin.)

[personal profile] insidegalra 2020-08-15 06:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Do you happen to have it so I can contact him?

[Thace notices the pride and smiles openly.]
shiro2hero: (i feel pretty and witty and)

[personal profile] shiro2hero 2020-08-16 05:37 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, of course. Hold on...

[While he pulls his 'gear out of a pocket, idly scrolling through his contacts until he can pull up Armin's info.]

Here. This is him.
insidegalra: (This is suspicious.)

[personal profile] insidegalra 2020-08-16 11:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[Thace enters that info into his Pokegear right away.]

Thank you very much.

[In the distance there's a loud shriek that breaks into laughter, and a very human yell of surprise. Followed by an angry "you little--" Thace groans.]

I should go and get that one out of the trouble he's just found. Until we have a chance to meet again.

[And with a little nod of the head, Thace turns in the direction of the sounds.]
