Surfing Swarm!

[crystalmaster]

[The video feed opens with Radley filming as he goes outside on his property to see what some of his Pokemon are exclaiming about. He almost drops the PokeGear when he sees.]

What the ... ?!??!!!

[Pikachu and Alolan Raichu are surfing in the pond.]

Just ... how?!??!

[Evie makes an exclamation of delight and runs over to the shore.]

Evie! Evie, no! Come back!

[Evie has already leaped onto the surf board to ride with Raichu. She warbles in delight.

Radley slaps his forehead.]

Oh gosh. Evie!

[He's terrified of Electric types attacking him, but he's more afraid of them getting mad and hurting Evie. He watches for a moment, tense, but they seem friendly and welcoming to her being there. Seeing that, he keeps filming the video, but it's probably shaky until his hands stop shaking.]

So ... I'm not gonna antagonize these guys. But ... what do I do about this? How are they even surfing in my pond?!

[A crowd is starting to gather outside the property fence, enjoying the show. Seeing this, Radley ponders. If Evie's not in danger, and people like this, maybe it can turn to his advantage. Maybe he can subtly hint at the crowd getting some food to eat while watching the entertainment.]

... They are pretty skilled at what they do. I have to say I'm impressed. Anyone wanna drop by and see this in person?

Yeah. They'll probably look for another body of water.

[Another town. Another body of water. Another crowd to entertain. It's good to be a surfing Pikachu or an Alolan Raichu.]

As for me, I shall be looking for a place to refresh myself and rest.

Today has been busy and most productive.

Re: Video

[crystalmaster]

Cool. For me too. Here's to good and productive days.

[His Pokemon chorus.]

As to you.

[Then,]

Good journey.

Re: Video

[crystalmaster]

Well, I'm just going inside my building here, but yeah, good journey to you.

[He smiles and starts calling the Pokemon to come inside with him.]

[That response triggers laughter from Keldor. Not at Radley's expense, no, but at himself. He's only known Radley a short time, but already regards him as a trusted friend, and as such had briefly forgotten that Radley doesn't know Eternian customs.]

No. No. In Eternia one does not say things like "goodbye" as is the custom here. One says "good journey" instead.

[Now, with it explained properly, so Radley understands the context,]

Good journey, friend.

Re: Video

[crystalmaster]

Oh! That's pretty cool. I like that better than Goodbye.

[He smiles.]

Good journey, friend.

[Keldor nods, and the feed is cut.]
