Who: Everyone!
Where: The newly discovered island
What: After recent events, the people of Union could use a bit of R&R. What better place than a tropical island?
Warnings: Drinks with little umbrellas in them, swimsuits, idek

An island paradise, discovered just off the southern coast, less than a day's travel from the city. A strong enough Pokemon could easily carry their partner and others out there. It was hard to say just who sent the original message, but pictures surfaced, with the tagline "Don't you wish you were here," came over the warp bands' feeds, and, like Venomoths to the flame, people began clamoring toward this new found tropical get-away. Those who wanted to go would find it easy enough--with so many people making their way to investigate, for whatever reason they claimed (but let's be honest, it was probably the beach), one could just hitch a ride.

The island itself appeared untouched by human contact. The Pokemon were strange and different compared to the fare immediately around Union. A warm breeze blew through palm trees, carrying the scent of hibiscus flowers. The water, blue as the summer sky, was warm and inviting.

This truly was a paradise.

Fo' sho'!

And you don't think you're going to get too hot? Or your Magikarp?

I'll be fine. Short-sleeved shirt, hat, and pants. It's easy-breezy. And Flippy, here, can hold his own.

[>Magikarp
>Holding its own

Hahahahaha no.]

Magikarp strength aside, a fish on land?

You're thinking too hard on this, Sparky.

...Sparky?

You looked like you needed a nickname.

No. Trust me. I don't. Not at all!

[You see, he's fated to be known as the "White Devil."]

You don't like nicknames?

Um. Well, nicknames are okay, I guess. I just don't want one.

I'm not sure I trust that, mister. But okay. [She shrugs.] Let's go explore. Flippy's impatient and he thirsts for excitement.

[He just stares at them with those creepy eyes.]

[Oh, he's genuine. He just has other reasons.]

Uh...okay, I think I'll take your word for it on that one.

[Asemu calls upon his Fletchling. However, it just...stares at the Magikarp. Staring contest, go!]

Um. Bullet?

[She looks up at the Fletchling, then down at her Magikarp. It continues to flop uselessly.]

What's up with your Fletchling? He's giving Flippy funny looks.

I don't know. He hasn't done this before. Bullet? Bullet, we need to get moving!

[Reluctantly, the Fletchling turns away from the Magikarp, then takes off into the air.]

Bullet will help us navigate. Let's follow.

Maybe he hit his head.

[She shrugs, then she follows. Flippy, uh, flops after Yang. He's loyal, at least?]

When would he have had the chance?

[And he follows, as well. The trees are thick, but not thick enough to lose sight of the Fletchling overhead.]
