Shrike is still pretty uncomfortable with the idea of being at any kind of large, social gathering. Not to mention, he lacks enough Pokémon to compete in the race, and certainly doesn't have enough money to even think of bidding on anything in the auction, charity or no. And unlike prom, this event didn't come with a direct invitation that would feel rude to turn down.
But, even so, there's a couple of people he's met--maybe even started to get to know a little--that he figures are likely to be here and, well. Shrike maybe, possibly, wants to talk to them again just a little. It's kind of a strange and new feeling for him.
Which is why he's now found himself at the beach, looking around to spot someone he recognizes when Dimitri happens to spot and speak to him first.
"Oh. Um, I don't know..."
He's definitely not dressed for swimming. Leaving aside the fact that he'd never heard of swimwear before arriving in Johto, Shrike's still keeping himself fully covered, hooded cloak and all. What a strange kid.
