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.

Famke is now attempting to climb up Cress's leg, wanting to conquer this new person and assimilate him into her empire of human minions. Unaware of this goal, Armin watches with mild amusement.

"Not that I know of, no. They're usually greyish, I believe. Famke is just special, I guess."

Cress has a malicious looking ghost sword that possesses it's wielder, sadly the Pokmeons attempts will be for nothing. Cress knows no fear, "Maybe they are shiny, my father says some Pokemon -- really rare ones -- will come in different colors. Famke must be really special."

Espurr will conquer all, she will triumph over this fearless smiley person she will -- get onto his knee and take a rest. Conquering is hard work.

"Really? Shiny...hm. I'll have to research it. I certainly think she's special, though."

Cress just gives her a pet, "She's special, all Pokmeon are." Suddenly eyes his Honedge up that just so happened to show his eye at those words. Cress see's you, you crazy sword.. "Do you live in Union? I'm guessing so--"

"I think so too." Oh, hello Honedge. Armin's going to smile a little awkward at you, because you're sharp. "Ah, yes, I do. I just...don't get out very much."

Hello, Armin, wouldn't you like a good handshake with such a lovely Honedge such as him? No, because Cress is going to control you with his human one. Waving him away, making him 'sit.' "I.. don't get out much either. I'm part of the Swords of the Savior.. so most of my work is inner city."

No handshakes plz. Armin is busy getting all starry-eyed and amazed at Cress rn. "You're a Sword? Er...is that the proper term? Either way, that's amazing!"

Cress blushes, rubbing the back of his neck, "Ahah.. Yes I am. I'm hoping to give Union a nice helping hand in justice.. I mean, I've always been a follower and this profession keeps me close to home so I can look after my mom. Her health hasn't been great.

What do you do for a living? You still in school?"

"Do for a living?" This baffles little rich kid. Does Cress mean like...work? For money? WHAAAAT? "Um. I'm...out of school. Right now. Ah, s-sorry about your mom." Is that an appropriate thing to say??? Sympathy is good, right??

Hum? Cress doesn't really get it but ah.. sure. "She's been doing better, thanks." He looks down this his ruined volleyball, "Hey, do you know how to play? Wanna play a round?" He'll find a way to fix it, his mom packed him all sorts of 'in case of emergence' whatnot's and he's pretty sure someone around here has a air-pump.

"Um..." Armin sort of stalls, because the truth is he fails at anything and everything sports-related, ever, in the world, period. But he manages a brave smile. "I...I can try?"
