Who: Everyone!
When: 8/27
Where: The Tropical Island
What: The end of summer is quickly approaching, get your last bit of summer fun in now!
Warnings: Beach episode shenanigans.

Bright sun, warm sands, rolling waves, the tropical island was the place to be. With the new port making travel out much easier, the island was seeing a surge in tourism. Something about fighting giant fiery gods must have made people eager to jump into the water and relax.

It looks like he's playing with Kyo?

[And sure enough, the big rock monster is basically holding him up and letting him scamper around on his shoulders.]

He'll be fine.

[...Oh. That was Yuuna's Tyranitar. Now everything made sense-- Ralts had good instincts, Rei remembered reading. They were sensitive to the feelings of the people and pokemon around them, and wouldn't approach a threat as openly as Shiro had approached Kyo.

Rei sighed, looking embarrassed.]

...He's not even a week old, [he explained, clearly chagrinned.] I've never taken care of a baby before.

Oh believe me, i haven't either. Suzume's kept me really busy, no lie.

[And at the mention of her name, a little Dratini slithers up out of the sand, popping out with a warbling hello to the stranger. She may or may not have decided to go burrowing for gold.]

But Kyo'll take care of him, don't worry.

[Rei did believe her-- and he believed that he needed to trust in Shiro as well. ]

They do seem to be getting along well. [He said, smiling, before he crouched down to see the new visitor.]

Afternoon, Suzume-san. Are you having fun?

[Dratini dives back into the sand and pops out right in front of Rei, playfully wiggling her tail.]

tini!

[She's very excited! And hello hello! Will you pet me?]

She's really, really innocent. But she's going to grow up to be bigger than Kyo, here.

That's right-- she's going to be a Dragonite one day, isn't she?

[He asked, reaching out to pet the Dratini on her smooth skin. She was so soft~]

It's hard to believe that this little one will get so big one day!

Yep, that's right.

[Dratini coils up and slithers up Rei's arm, curling herself around it and slithering up and up!]

Probably not all that long from now, if Kyo's any indication.

[Whoa, there, little Suzume! You're moving fast!

Rei glanced from the Dratini over to the Tyranitar-- and let himself feel relief when he saw Shiro watching everything on the beach from a vantage point on the giant reptile's head.]

Your pokemon do evolve quickly, [Rei noted, glancing back to Yuuna. He knew that Yuuna was like him, not Enlightened in the least, so her Pokemons' quick advancement was quite interesting.]

Well. Actually, you know...some people just have talents when working with Pokemon. I'm starting to notice it for sure. Mine have grown up a lot faster than a lot of my friends. Especially Kyo.

Maybe that's mine. I dunno.

That could be. It would explain a lot of the things that have happened so far.

[Like how the tiny clumsy Bergmite became a massive Avalugg so quickly, for one.]

...I'm not sure what mine is yet, honestly. It might be something that will just reveal itself in time.

Maybe it's being overprepared and ridiculously cautious.

[She grins and smacks him on the back gently.]

Or maybe it's your ability to research stuff.

Only a fool goes into the wilderness unprepared, Yuuna-san. And we are no fools!

[He's going to stand by that point, no matter how many shoulder slaps and teases he receives for it. It's a perfectly reasonable policy!]

But the study skills are just something I picked up from school. They're really nothing as special as you might think.

Well, I actually think you're better at it than me.

[She snorts a laugh.]

And I never forget anything I read.

[Rei chuckled, and smiled in return for what, to him, was a grand compliment.]

If you really think so, Yuuna-san...thank you.

Sure, sure.

I never did give you a proper thanks for helping me get those photos out to the papers. You're quite the sidekick, y'know.

No-- no thanks are necessary. We had to get those photos out one way or another. I'm just glad I had the opportunity to help.

Shush, Ryugazaki. You just get to come with me on my next trip, that's the reward.

[She made it sound like it was such a fantastic reward, or that he would somehow be a hinderance to her...although he knew she was just teasing, he still felt that spark to try harder. He didn't want to fall further behind than he already was.]

Where are you going on your next trip?

[It is a fantastic reward! It's going off to do important things.]

South of the Crater Plains. I think they call it the Wildwoods. I wanted to wait till the leaves started to change colors though.

[Ah-- exploring unknown territory!!]

If the region lives up to its name, then that would make for a very lovely trip. All of the colors...

[It would be a veritable pallet of reds, oranges, and yellows!]

..I wonder, what all is out there?

Exactly. Me too.

[She looks down at his trunks...]

And as many colors as you seem to wear.

The different colors apply to different psychological factors, [he said in his defense, adopting the cool, controlled aura of someone who knew exactly what he was doing.] I don't get to the beach very often so I wanted to account for all of them.

And what factors are those, anyway?

All of the factors that affect people at the beach, of course! Since I don't have the data to account for all of them, I decided that going for a multi-tiered approach was for the best!

[He's so proud of himself too...]

And...are any of those factors involving looking like you walked out of a paint shop?
