Honestly, the surfboards are probably the safest option for the two of them... So Dimitri follows suit on that front, staying in the shallows as he does his best to figure out the whole.... thing. Which isn't that hard! Just that little anklet...

The end result has both his Gyarados hooked up to what equate to very long reins, except there's going to be no controlling them at all, and Dimitri beams while wobbling a little bit on his surfboard, one foot still in the shallows.

"Are you ready?"

This is going to be a terrible idea."
