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.

[For a second, Jade stares after the Feraligatrs, wondering if it's worth pursuing them. But they're out of sight before he can even begin to issue commands to his Pokemon, and he really ought to fulfil his duties by tending to the civilians, so he leaves the matter for now.]

[The tension flows out from his body, his intent expression relaxing into an amused smile as he observes Sakura's reaction.]

Well now, I'm glad that this is all settled nicely.

[His smile doesn't fade as he glances down at Red.]

I'll be sure to keep that in mind. [Jade's words are polite, as is his tone, but there's an edge of sarcasm in there all the same.]

[While they are talking, a single Totodile comes running out of the brush, "roaring". It was totally there with the Feraligatrs the whole time, you just must not have noticed it.

It runs into Red's ankle and falls flat on its face.]

Good. I--

[There is a slight pause from Red as he is wondering just what happened, but whatever, it's very cute. Abby is pointing and making a million noises that Kindred Souls and other Pokémon will understand as, {That! That's what I wanted to show you Red!} While Red can't understand his Charmander in that way, he does understand enough and activates his Warp Band before picking it up, and Abby takes Red's hat to now wear on his head, finally seeming a lot less nervous.]

Hey little one, why don't you tell me what all the trouble was about?

((OOC: Herp. Forgot to mention that Sakura-mun said to skip her turn for this round.))

[The Totodile looks up dumbly, and looks around. And then starts bawling]

[Red looks down at Abby, who stares back. Reassuring isn't his strong point, so Red turns back to the Totodile and holds it close, patting it's back.]

It'll be okay. You want to come with me? Should we... [sigh] Find your family? You don't have to cry.

[The Totodile sniffles and looks up at Red, wibbling]

[Red nods as if he's just decided.]

Yes. You can come with us, or we'll help you find your your family; it's all up to you, so smile. It's nice making new friends. I'm Red, and this is Abby.

[The Charmander waves, though he is hiding his head under Red's hat.]

[The Totodile starts bawling again and attaches itself to Red's leg.

Congratulations! You've bonded with Totodile! It is level 22]
