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~!

"No two places have the exact same problem. The thought of being unprepared does worry me though."

Thace doesn't have a solution for that particular issue yet, but he's been thinking about it.

That's what hypervigilance is for, Thace. Never being unprepared because you're over-prepared. For any and every possibility. Might be a bit simplistic, but Winter's still working off of only a month and a half of freedom (and memories), here. "Not a lot I'm not worried about. I'm Winter," he finally says, because they're talking, and that's what you're supposed to do.

And it's his name now. The more he uses it, the more it'll stick.

Thace understands that statement all too well. Even in this supposed peaceful place, he doesn't feel any more secure than he did in the middle of hostile forces.

He gives a nod. "I'm Thace. This is Vruli."

"And Dugan," Winter adds, ruffling the mudbray's mane.

"Bray," says Dugan, flicking his tail and ears.

"We're still pretty new. Just a month and a half."

"We had just gotten to Cherrygrove, before a U-Bird asked if we wanted to see the surfing Pikachu."

Thace says that with just a little bit of bemusement, because he'd had no idea what that was. His companions had wanted to come, so here he is.

"But I'm working on adapting."

If he knew what a fistbumb was, there'd be a "here only because of friends" fistbumb here. "Adapting. Yeah. That's a thing." Here's some actual inflection: dry. Winter sounds dry. "I wish I could say it gets easier, but. Hasn't yet, for me."

"Change is a constant; adapting to it is change in and of itself which compounds the issue," Thace says back with equal dryness.
