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.

Shell is super excited about the piano noises! He continues plonking at the keys and Levi rolls his eyes, hoping the noise doesn't give him a headache as he sat back in the sand.

{I don't think I could do it,} Bug was saying. {You probably need feet, right?}

Oh it will give you a headache, heikrow. There's a reason Eren isn't around at the moment, and a reason this is a "special, outside toy". Fig happily adds to the noise by picking up an oversized, colorful maraca in his beak and flailing. Not even just his head, just... his whole body.

{Well, they're helpful. But as long as you can grip the wood, I think it'd work!}

"Woah, steady there assbutt," Levi snorts, reaching in to balance Fig as he convulses with he maraca. "Shell, don't encourage this." Shell responds by banging harder on the piano keys.

Bug looks unsure. "I don't know how to swim though..." But... if he fell and couldn't get out the water, Victor would surely save him! Again! Valiantly..... It was a difficult choice to make.

His convulsing is much more functional when Levi steadies his body, leaving his head and neck to do all the wiggling. With no rhythm. At all. Which sounds great along with Shell's terrible piano playing. Really it's just a hideous beach cacophony.

{Well, I wouldn't let your drown, you know! But if you'd prefer to just watch, that's fine too. I'm going to try it out.} Victor stands up and grabs the board under his arm. He heads out into the water, floating on the board and using his long arms to swim out past the breaking waves.
