8th Prayer: The Big Kahuna
Action/Video at the Beach:
[Okay, this is just so adorable that even a dour, serious young woman like Rei can't help but share it with the rest of Union. The Warp Band starts up, showing a scene on the shoreline. In the distance is an enormous, slow-rolling spring storm heading inland. It's still many miles off, but the effects of it are already beginning to show. Massive swells, enormous waves generated in the distance by the storm, are breaking against the shore at regular intervals. Each wave is larger than the last, and they're predictable in their formation (as predictable as they can be, anyway).
Basically? It's a surfer's paradise.]
Well good afternoon everyone. It's been a while since I made a public broadcast, but I've never seen anything quite like this before. I thought it was worth sharing and recording for later.
[The camera zooms in on something out in the water, a small group of Pokemon on, you guessed it, surfboards. A Gardevoir, Treecko, and Riolu all seem to be in the shallows, paddling around and trying to get a feel for things...but the camera moves up and focuses on something else.
A Pikachu.
A Pikachu in little swim trunks, shredding away down the long trough of one of the larger waves, laughing wildly as the wind blows his ears back. He makes it through the entire trough before swerving back and coasting back in towards the other Pokemon.]
Ariel's been at this all afternoon, and he's been trying to teach the other three how to surf too. I had to do a little reading on the sport, but apparently he's pretty good. Has anyone else ever seen something like this?
Action that evening, Lake Shrine/Union:
[After the storm finally does hit the beach, Rei heads home, but decides to stop up at the Lake Shrine for dinner and a rest. She's built a small fire, but while she sets about cooking up some stuff, Ariel seems to have casually enlisted the other Pokemon in gathering up large wooden sticks and jabbing them in the ground in a wide circle. A few minutes later, he's lit all the ends of these poles up like torches and hops into the center of the ring to begin some sort of strange dance. Rei stops, watching the strange behavior before realizing that it's some sort of ritual.
She...doesn't really know what it's for, but after a minute or two she and the other Pokemon with her start to attempt to follow Ariel's steps, admittedly somewhat clumsily. Rei's never been much of a dancer, leaving that aspect of shrinework to her grandfather, but the Pokemon seems pleased that she's joining in. Never-mind that she'd never, ever let herself be caught doing this if she knew other people might be watching...
So, feel free to watch and wander up!]

Action - Beach
When she surfaces to get a better look at the odd shapes riding the waves above, there's a purple Kingdra next to her. It doesn't take too long for her to spot Rei on the beach, which she offers a bit of a wave before swimming closer to shore.]
Are those yours?
no subject
They are, yes.
no subject
Did you teach them that? I imagine it'd take a fair amount of practice for them to learn to keep their balance like that.
no subject
[Gardevoir just aren't built for that...]
no subject
[Umi would have to agree with that. Sadly, a fair number of her own team have no legs, so training them with that would be kind of pointless. The Pikachu seems to be enjoying itself, though. Maybe the twins would like it too.]
I've never seen anything like that before.
no subject
no subject
[Umi hasn't really done any looking into the Dream World yet.]
Whatever the case though, I'm sure he's an interesting addition to your team.
no subject
[A shrug.]
And he's...certainly unorthodox. He can fight Ground types rather well. Which is immeasurably useful.
no subject
I would imagine so. I bet they're quite surprised by that, too.
no subject
[Rei's laugh is a little sharp. She'd been amused as hell when he'd just walked all over a wild Golem in the mountains last week.]
no subject
Yeah, it quickly turns things around.
no subject
[A beat.]
How's your band going? I haven't seen Maki-chan or her girlfriend at the shrine in a while.
no subject
It could be going better though, I suppose. Conflicting schedules and whatnot.
no subject
no subject
no subject
[She's got her own little club, you know.]
no subject
[And surely they both have at least one member of their little clubs that has to be kept in line.]

[Unfortunately, Umi's apartment is tiny, otherwise she probably would've offered.]
