Pokemon: The Beach & Bay

[idolpro]

Keep heading past the downtown area and you'll come to a sunny beach and the ocean! There's a stall where you can trade your uniform for a unit-appropriate swimsuit so you and your Pokemon can enjoy the sand and the sea together! There's a cart nearby that gives out lemonade and ice cream for free to help you beat the heat. You can also take advantage of the local ferry: although there's a massive sign that reads "Safari Bio-Dome, Coming Soon!" for now it's mostly good for sight-seeing all the marine Pokemon in the bay or catch-and-release fishing off the side.

[Play! Play!? Dratini happily splashes water right back at Marill before diving underwater again. Circling somewhat shark-like...]

And give pets out for free when they've been making bank on them. For shame, that would be a bad economic choice.

[purrrnicious]

Good point.



. . .If they can, like, make up weird creatures like this, why bother dragging all of us into this stupid world anyway? They could've just made up some fake people, too.


[Marill's a good swimmer, but it's also just very chipper and cheerful and bobs at the top splashing lightly, waiting for its playmate to resurface.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Dratini does resurface.




But she also coils herself around Marill twice over and dunks them back under. PLAY WITH ME!]

Who knows? Maybe we're all part of a spin-off show while we're playing around with exotic animals.

I bet it's cheaper to kidnap someone than to model them anyway.

[purrrnicious]

Hey. Don't let your thing drown my thing. I don't wanna get penalized.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Huffs]

Fine.

[Intensity snaps his fingers and for a good while there, it looks like nothings going to happen.

But Dratini pops up much closer to the shore (Marill free so the water pokemon was let go at some point) and starts--- well, for -- lack of a better term to describe the sound -- whining before flopping dramatically onto the beach at Kohime's feet. They were playing!? What gives!]

[purrrnicious]

[Hops back clear of the splash zone. Her Marill is out in the water bobbing and trilling happily, waving its little arms. There's a serious personality mismatch going on here between "trainer" and mon.]

Uh, am I supposed to be able to understand that?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Very serious mismatch.

It whines another pitiful "Drati~" as it tries to curl around Kohime's ankles]

More or less.

[Certainly not doing anything to stop Dratini. That's for sure]

[purrrnicious]

––Hey!

[Taking a few quick steps back, her fur standing on end. And then hissing at the Dratini for good measure.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Drati...

She looks up at Kohime with big woobly anime eyes.

(Intensity tries -- and fails -- not to laugh)]

[purrrnicious]

[Sorry, Dratini, she’s immune to puppy eyes. She’s a cat and all.

She gives Intensity a Look when he laughs. ]

You cuddle it, it’s your poke-whatever.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Bold of you to think I'm a cuddler.

[When Dratini sees that it's ploy is not working, it sighs (if a pokemon could sigh) and sits back on it's tail, bringing itself up to about 4 feet of height and regarding Kohime curiously. Why is this person almost as sour as her master? Obviously an intervention is needed]

[purrrnicious]

. . .

Why is it staring at me like that?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Maybe she's thinking about eating you.

[Dratini whips her head around to glare at her trainer]

[purrrnicious]

[Shooting him a glare that oddly mirrors Dratini’s. Meanwhile, Marill has finally made it to shore, and shakes itself dry right near Intensity. ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Excuse you! Can you scruff a water mouse?! If not, it's getting picked up by its tail!]

[purrrnicious]

[It dangles from its tail and trills happily — apparently this is some fun new game???


Kohime’s just gonna be over here cracking up, though. ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[This is not a fun new game! He huffs as he holds Marill out at arm's length. UPSIDE DOWN in fact]

Okay, yes. Yours is broken.

[purrrnicious]

Oh, I don’t know. He’s kind of starting to grow on me.

[Marill chirps and wiggles his upside down arms at Intensity like he wants to be cuddled. ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Hey, Kohime.

Think fast.

He's tossing your mouse at you to catch]

[purrrnicious]

[Ducks with an undignified squeak and Marill soars over her instead, landing back in the water with a splash. ]

Hey! Watch it!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Now who's turn is it to laugh]

I thought you were supposed to catch mice!

It was mostly dry.

[As evident by the water still dripping off the edges of Intensity's trenchcoat]

[purrrnicious]

Yeah, one time, in that stupid “capital-ism” game!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

...

Did they really put you on rat duty?

[He doesn't know if he should find that hilarious or insulting. And his expression says as much]

[purrrnicious]

What’s that face for?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

It's almost too on brand to the point it's insulting.
