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.

[The birds ignore the Magikarp, but Bolt is ever curious and hops over towards the floppy fish, poking at it with his tail and a soft 'Pii?' sound.]

Aren't you afraid it'll get blown off or something? Plus it looks pretty bulky to go exploring in.

[She waves a hand, dismissively.]

It'll be fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine.

[Which is when a gust lifts the hat right off her head.]

HEY!

[notthatjason]

[You have terribly timing Yang. Jason jumps for the hat, using a burst of wind to help counter the gust that took it to begin with. Jason snatches it out of the air and lands in the sand a few feet away, thanks mostly to his wind powered jump.

He smiles at turns back around.]

See? Not a very practical hat.

[He offers it to her.]

[ember_celica]

Aw, my hero!

[Yang applauds, then she grins. She watches him come down, then she puts the hat on her head, and tugs it tighter, just so it doesn't blow off in another gust.]

[Probably. It is basically a sail.]

Where'd you learn that jump, Jace? That was awesome.

[notthatjason]

Well, Bolt's been helping me with some of my electrical abilities, so I thought I should also keep working on my wind control.

[He may have had his Enlightened powers for awhile, but he's still learning his limits and what he can do with them.]

I figured out I can use the wind to help give me boosts...can't exactly fly...but it's helpful.

[ember_celica]

You're gonna be flying at this rate, buddy. [She nods, cheerfully, at that. Then she crosses her arms behind her back, while she paces, and turns to look at him.]

I can't fly, really. I've learned to do some crazy jumps. And, you know... time some blasts to really send me flying, if I need to. But I can't control it as well as you did there.

[notthatjason]

That'd be pretty awesome if I could. Maybe someday. [He's getting better everyday, especially since he'd been working hard with his growing Pokemon team lately. So, he's fairly optimistic about it being a possibility in the future.]

Really? That still sounds like it'd be pretty impressive to see though.
