It was all gone. All of it. Every single little part of his at least 300 part collection of the games he was gonna give his (imaginary, but shut up, okay?!) girlfriend was officially and without so much as a goodbye, down there in the depths of the ocean. He was kneeling at the shore, the little hits of water lapping at his knees a he stared, sand slowly seeping through the fistful he had held onto earlier.
Manly tears were shed that day, and they merged and mixed with the waters of which his collection was now a mere fragment of.
open to those with a pokemon able to go under water. if you are successful, you may get a reward! the more the merrier.
Bunny hadn't been in Petalburg long, maybe just a day or so, when she decided to walk around on the less-crowded part of the beach. She had never seen the sea like this, so close, and she wanted to soak it in as much as possible.
Diana, her Dratini, was slithering closely beside her, squealing in joy whenever the waves would come to meet the pokémon's body. She seemed to be excited about entering the water, something Bunny assumed was probably instinct, as that was where Dratini usually lived their lives.
After a few minutes of walking, the two of them saw a boy a good few paces away. At first she was going to politely walk around him, until she realized he was crying. So, of course, she immediately went to the boy to see if she could help.
"Oh gosh, are you okay?" She asked as she approached the boy. "Is something wrong? Could I help?"

"D-dude." He said, still not even looking at the new voice. "It's all down there!" he shouted, raw emotion flaring as he tried his best to contain the tears. No one could know who he was or how sad this moment in history had become. "S-something just grabbed my whole backpack and took it to the sea."
He looked at the girl, his eyes pleading. "It was pink," he suddenly remembered, trying to help to the best of his ability.
gamer seth has explained his woes! what will bunny do?.
She didn't really know what to think of the boy and his situation at first. Something pulled his backpack into the sea? Was it a pokémon, or was he being overdramatic? Surely a backpack would be kind of hard to pull off of a person's shoulders, but she didn't ask questions.
"You said it was pink, right?" As the boy nodded, she took off her sandals and began to wade through the water. "We'll look for it for you. Diana, can you check the deeper parts? I can only reach so far." The Dratini made a squeal of agreement and dived into the water, searching for the backpack. The two of them kept search and searching, Diana coming up for air occasionally and Bunny poking her head underwater to squint through the salty murkiness.
After about ten minutes of searching Bunny looked back to the boy and asked in a shout due to their growing distance to each other, "Do you have any idea what took it?"
[newclass=.pinky]background-color: #db506c;text-align:center;color: #db506c;height:100px;-webkit-transition: all .5s linear;-moz-transition: all .5s linear;-ms-transition: all .5s linear;-o-transition: all .5s linear;transition: all .5s linear;[/newclass][newclass=.pinky:hover]background-color: #e27a8f;text-align:center;color:#fafafa;-webkit-transition: all .5s linear;-moz-transition: all .5s linear;-ms-transition: all .5s linear;-o-transition: all .5s linear;transition: all .5s linear;[/newclass]
"Dude! You're like a total bro, dude, thaannnks." was his only response as the girl began wading through the water. A few minutes passed, though, and he had just begun to lose hope. Maybe there was nothing left to be done after all. The tears came back, shimmering on his dark green irises. He shrugged. "It was like some pink-snake-thing-pokemon. Freaking scary as shit, dude."
It was at that exact point that there were sudden waves in the water below Bunny. What was going on?
gamer seth has explained his woes! what will bunny do?.
It was hers. Whatever it was, it was from the fabled surface, were everything was amazing. She was collecting it, and it was hers by laws of nature. She had found the back first. Her tail was wrapped around it tightly, and her mouth, snarling at the opponent. It had hurt her tail and it was bleeding- the red particles making the water around them purple and maroon. She found fight for this!
a wild gorebyss appeared! it is holding gamer seth's bag! gorebyss is injured!
...yes, she would fight for it. But was she prepared to die for it?? The huntail knew that things from the surface were usually tasty, and right now it was hungry. The gorebyss was in the way of his meal, and he was ready to kill her for it. Snarling and whipping around like an eel, it had easily bitten into her flesh, and was prepared to do it again.
a wild huntail appears! huntail is attacking gorebyss! what will coordinator bunny do?
Bunny was happy to help somebody in need, especially if they were so upset about it. She made a point to ignore the cringe-worthy "bros" that were thrown her way, only nodding to show that she had heard or understood. But it wasn't long until the boy was crying again, she supposed about to give up hope. Honestly, she was too, but she wasn't going to quit that early. It wasn't her way.
"Something pink...?" Bunny mumbled to herself, treading even deeper into the water. Well, it mist have been a pokémon, and it had to have been strong to be able to snatch it up right out of a boy's hands. She wasn't willing to completely disregard Luvdisc, but they seemed just a little too small. Maybe an Alomomola?
Her Dratini's head poked out of the water to get a breath, and Bunny called out to her, "Diana, we're looking for a pink pokémon, keep an eye—" She gasped loudly, feeling the water beneath her sway. She looked to see through the murky depths and, at first, only processed the purplish color of rising blood in the water. "DIANA!"
The Dratini nearly rocketed her way to Bunny through the water, making small crests of water behind her. Bunny quickly moved away from the blood and dipped underwater, blinking as the salt burned her eyes and muddled her vision. By what she could tell, the pink pokémon had appeared, and it was being attacked! A blue-and-orange pokémon was advancing aggressively towards it, and in turn, the pink pokémon was preparing to attack. She had to break this up, it wasn't safe!
Returning to the surface, she shouted, "Diana, paralyze them with Thunder Wave! And then attack the blue one with Ice Beam, try to keep your distance, but don't hit the pink one!" By what she saw, the pink on had been attacked first, and so harshly that it was bleeding. Although she knew, to a certain extent, that this was more or less natural occurrence in pokémon life, she still wanted to stop something drastic from happening.

Diana dashed towards Bunny desperately as her trainer cried for help. Her heart was pumping in anxiety, adrenaline being her only reason as to reacting so quickly. She was close enough to the surface to hear Bunny tell her to use Thunder Wave, and she was only slightly hesitant. Diana was sure her trainer knew that she, too, would be affected by the attack. But the Dratini followed directions and administered a paralyzing blow, hoping it would travel well enough through water to stop her opponents in their place. Then, with a careful aim, Diana attempted to shoot a beam of ice at the Huntail and avoid the Gorebyss. She could only hope her aim was true.
diana used thunder wave in the water! diana used ice beam on huntail!
He jumps a little at the girl's shrill scream, and at this point there's a crowd that's gathered to watch what's going on. Ew, people! The gamer shouts at Bunny, trying to make himself look like a spectator instead of the victim, otherwise there would be too many question he didn't want to answer.
"Hey! Did something happen!?" He asks. Did she find the pokemon? Doubtful...but hey, why was the water over there red?
gamer seth wants to know whats happening! what will bunny do?.
The second that the current was let loose in the water, Gorebyss knew something would happen. So despite the pain and the horrible shock, she pulled back. Her nerves were growing numb but the wuick forethought had allowed her to escape the icebeam attack. It gave one look to the human and the dratini before turnign away, attempting to swim even though it had been paralyzed. The bag was tugged along with her by the tail.
a wild gorebyss appeared! gorebyss is paralyzed! gorebyss tries to flee!
... The paralyzing wave made his open jaw hang open, and the Huntail let out a screech of pain. It could not avoid the ice beam, and instead was thrown backwards as the beam of ice hit. The huntail then began its counter attack. Gorebyss was gone, and he did want the food in the bag, but he wanted revenge more. The huntail lunged and attempted to bite the Dratini. After that attack it lunged forward yet again, its viciousness unrelenting.
a wild huntail appears! huntail is paralyzed! huntail is hit by icebeam! huntail uses bite x2!
Suddenly there was a full-on battle somewhere beneath Bunny, and she was having trouble seeing what was happening. But she felt the Thunder Wave hit, her body clenching together on impulse. Through squinted eyes she could see the three pokémon below her, the the two larger snake-like ones frozen in place. No, wait, the pink one was moving away. It was the one that had the bag! But it was also the one that was bleeding. Bunny had to wait a few more minutes before she could overpower the paralysis, but once she started moving she felt unaffected. She dipped underwater and attempted to approach what she had discovered was a Gorebyss while keeping an eye on the Huntail. She hoped to retrieve the bag and possibly heal the pokémon while she was at it.
The Huntail began to attack Diana, and Bunny felt of twinge of worry as she wasn't able to immediately help. Returning to the surface for just a moment, she shouted, "Use Ice Beam, then wrap!" She returned on her chase for the Gorebyss. Bunny hoped to somehow coax it towards the shore, where it could return the bag and be healed. If the pokémon was stubborn, she might be able to offer something also for a trade of sorts.

She couldn't dodge the first attack, her body being clamped painfully between the Huntail's teeth. She cried out in pain until the pokémon unleashed, and suddenly the voice of her trainer carried through the water.
Diana swerved away from the second attack and shot another beam of ice at the Huntail, and before she could even see if it hit, dashed forward to wrap her body around it.
diana was hit by bite! diana dodged bite! diana used ice beam! diana used wrap!
Seth walked over, not having the remotest idea of what was going on. More importantly, why was the water red? A life full of video games had taught him water was blue. What wast this supposed to mean? He put one toe into the water, but exactly at the wrong time. The current jolted his whold body, causing him to let out a scream of pure agony before falling to the ground.
gamer seth needs medical attention!! what will bunny do?.
God damnit! She lost one oppnent and was met with another- a human, this time. Those were probably the most abundant things on the surface, and she didn't like them one bit. Gorebyss spun around and faced the girl, and then sent a sharp telekinetic blast in her direction. The thought waves were strong enough to create a ripple, and they would undoubtedly cause a little confusion in the girl's mind. The pink pokemon turned again, fleeing the scene. But then it turned back, wondering if it had killed the human by mistake?
a wild gorebyss appeared! gorebyss is paralyzed! gorebyss uses confusion on bunny! gorebyss tries to flee! (2/3!!) gorebyss looks back at bunny?!
The beam of ice was easily manuevered around. Even though it was slowed down, the huntail could feel the water freezing up and knew exactly where to lunge to avoid the attack. Avoiding the wrap was unfortunately a bit harder, and the snake found himself strangled by a dratini. It then took advantage of the close quarters, and tried yet another bite, its fangs barred and the attack emitting a dark wave all by itself. It was not a pokemon who enjoyed begin taken lightly.
a wild huntail appears! huntail dodges icebeam! huntail is hit by wrap, wrap inflicts damage! huntail is paralyzed and cannot move! huntail uses bite! x1
"Tutuu!" Sam Hoiday yelled out as he chased his Natu down the streets of Petalburg. For some reason the Natu had suddenly started flying down the road, in the direction of the beach. Not wanting to let one of his new favorite pokemon just run away Sam had to chase after it.
Eventually after enough running Natu would fly right over the beach, hovering near where the Gamer Dude had fallen, trying to get Sam to come over there. Once Sam neared the 'chaos' on the beach Natu would land back on the top of the boy's hat, having done her job.
"Oh right..future shit..you probably saw what happened and wanted to help huh Tutu?" Sam said in a monotone voice as he took in the situation trying to figure out what exactly was going on. "Welp..time to get to work!" He added before teaching up and pulling his goggles down to cover his eyes, only to keep his hands moving to grab a pokeball, sending out his Surskit.
"Skimmer you're up! See those two pokemon out there? The pink one and the blue and orange one? Yeah go get em, quick attacks!" Sam called out, ordering the Surskit to attack. Which naturally the little water spider pokemon did, running right out on the water before speeding up even more. Going to fling itself at the Gorebyss, and then head over to fling itself at the Huntail for two total quick attacks. While this was going on Sam would start to pull the Gamer Dude onto the beach more, before bending down to check him for a pulse.
Bunny began to panic. The Gorebyss was moving aggressively and in a way that made her feel like the poor thing was probably scared. She didn't know what action to take. Should she physically reprimand the Gorebyss and drag it onto land, so she can heal it and take the bag? Should she try to just take the bag and leave the Gorebyss injured? Or should she battle it and make it faint so it wouldn't have to struggle against her?
Before Bunny could think which option to choose, a wave of something came over her. Suddenly left and right muddled together, and she couldn't tell which was was up or down. Her lungs began to feel like they were bursting, and her limbs flailed uselessly around her. What was she doing? Where was the surface? She needed air!
And then the water ran down her face as she sprung into the day's air, and her eyes refocused. Gasping harshly, she coughed and spluttered before looking at the Gorebyss who was, surprisingly, looking back at her. "I'm just trying to help you!" Bunny cried desperately, tears beginning to rim her eyes. "You're hurt! I can help! Please!" This was useless. The pokémon couldn't understand her. Wiping her eyes in frustration, Bunny nearly jumped as a Surskit whizzed by her and attacked the Gorebyss before darting off in Diana and the Huntail's direction. Looking around frantically, Bunny noticed the gamer boy to be injured, but luckily somebody else had arrived to the situation. Bunny could only assume that this new guy was the one who owned the Surskit.
"Use Ice Beam again," she called out to Diana weakly, "do it as much as you can."

Diana couldn't dodge the bite, so she didn't even try. The voice of her exhausted trainer only made the Dratini more determined, and as the Huntail's teeth digged into her skin, Diana unleashed a furious Ice Beam at it's ugly head. Once the Huntail had unlatched itself, Diana maneuvered just out of his reach when another pokémon zomed by before aiming yet another Ice Beam at it's body in fury.
diana was hit by bite! diana used ice beam! diana's wrap is now finished! diana used ice beam!
He heard something happen, and suddenly there was a boy chekcing his pulse. Tere were kind ddes everywhere. And then suddenly he heard a voice deamanding that everyone clear the area and that they would take charge of the situation. It was...female? Crap, what was he supposed to do? Right, of course, what he had been doing: play dead! But then all of a sudden....
gamer seth needs medical attention!! a life guard (?) has appeared! she asks everyone to clear the area!
She heard something happen- ooh, that was cue wasn't it? A ahhh, a pretty little thing was unconscious, she could show him a good time, maybe hehehe. She skipped the way towards the man and then blew her life guard whistle (ahh, the day she'd been waiting for!) and commanded everyone out of there. There was one dude who checked his pulse, maybe she'd give him something for being a good citizen who knew? Whatever. First the kiss. She leaned over and put her lips to Seth's, despite him not needing artificial respiration...
a life guard (?) has appeared! she asks everyone to clear the area! paige and seth make out!
A-a-a... kiss?!! The first in his life, and it was just like the movies. Beautiful. He never wanted it to end. And then, he opened his eyes, and the moment was too perfect. He got up and then they were kissing instead of whatever the hell life guards were supposed to do. Screw that shit. He finally paused for air and looked around, grabbing the nearest bro which just happened to be Sam.
"Dude! You did it! Dude, where's the other girl, your girlfriend?? What do you guys want, I can't repay you, though..."
Of course that was all under the assumption that his bag was okay- everything was going so well, his bag had to be fine, right?!
The human seemed sad- being sad was never good. Gorebyss sympathized- she had been sad many times before, but she wondered why exactly the human was sad. She sawm closer, daring to almost touch the human despite the wanrings givne to her before. It looked at the girl, suddenly calm. Possibly even hopeful for something other than fear and battling. She empathized with the human. Sshe might have even wanted to give the bag back. But then she was hit. But a quick attack, a stupid and foul play. She was so sick of it. The gorebyss turned heel and ran away, taking the bag along with her.
a wild gorebyss appeared! gorebyss wants to befriend bunny! gorebyss is hit by quick attack! gorebyss flees! [bag capture was unsuccessful, return to Seth for rewards!] [no more wild pokemon may appear!]
It was more than e could take. He was proud, surely but more than that he was wild and all wild creatures know when they have lost. This was it, but he was happy to have gone out looking while looking for food, not like the pathetic condition someone else had died in- protecting something else. But those das were in past. He would merge with the water now, and find a new life for himself...the pokemon slowly drifted towards the bottom of the ocean, the life slowly fading from its eyes.
huntail is severely injured! huntail faints! skimmer and diana gain 1 level capture? no more wild pokemon may appear!
Once the Lifeguard ran over and blew her whistle Sam would practically jump back from the gamer guy on the ground. Throwing his arms in the air "Alright alright i'll move, was just making sure the guy was okay." He added as he looked out to the water, trying to figure out what was going on. Only to see his Surskit...sort of dancing around in place on the water. Surskit seemed to be pretty happy about knocking out the Huntail!
Which was a noticeably bigger pokemon then Surskit, it seemed like a big victory in the pokemon's mind. Before Surskit made his way back to Sam it'd let out a quick Sweet Scent, testing out its new move for the hell of it.
Once the pokemon started on its way back Sam would just pull out the Surskit's pokeball, returning the pokemon instead of waiting for them to come back. Luckily for sam he missed the gamer guy and the life guards whole little make out session because he was watching the Surskit.
"My what? She's not my girlfriend.." Sam replied to the Gamer guy, lifting an eyebrow at him, before glancing out at Bunny then right back at the gamer guy. "Not that I wouldn't mind, I mean well umm. Err what do you mean what do I want?" Sam said a bit flustered, trying to change the subject,

MY GIRLFRIEND
NO DOUBT ABOUT IT SHE'S A BAD, BAD GIRLFRIEND
She had felt so much hope, so much happiness and joy when the Gorebyss approached her again. She was just about to lead it to the shore when every strand of her emotional stability shattered as the Surskit attacked the Gorebyss and it immediately swam away, far from reach, with the bag in tow.
Bunny stared blankly into the horizon, tears welling up in her eyes and her chest tightening and making it hard to breathe underwater. A few sobs left her throat, and she didn't even try to wipe the tears off her face. A part of her was mad at the other trainer and the Surskit, but she knew they were just trying to help. She had been happy for it only a moment ago.
When Bunny turned around, a melancholy look on her face, she saw the gamer boy and some lifeguard making out. She frowned. She thought she heard that people were going to take care of the problem, not the fact that they can't get a relationship. But she guessed that wasn't really her business.
Diana swam up to her, and despite being tired and beaten up the pokémon offered it's body to help it's trainer swim to shore. Once they arrived, Bunny shakily stood on the sand and approached the gamer boy that was asking the other boy that showed up what he wanted in reward.
"I-I didn't get the bag," Bunny mumbled quietly as she wiped the tears from her eyes. She tried to keep her voice from shaking. "Sorry, it got away."
[newclass=.pinky]background-color: #db506c;text-align:center;color: #db506c;height:100px;-webkit-transition: all .5s linear;-moz-transition: all .5s linear;-ms-transition: all .5s linear;-o-transition: all .5s linear;transition: all .5s linear;[/newclass][newclass=.pinky:hover]background-color: #e27a8f;text-align:center;color:#fafafa;-webkit-transition: all .5s linear;-moz-transition: all .5s linear;-ms-transition: all .5s linear;-o-transition: all .5s linear;transition: all .5s linear;[/newclass]
The boy stammering that the girl wasn't his girlfriend just made him laugh and shout (a little too loudly, maybe just so that Bunny herself would hear) "Oh c'mon, she's obviously your girlfriend." But his eyes went to the lifeguard girl as if asking for something else. The life guard was too busy checking her nails. Gamer Seth then realized that the girl was sobbing and she quickly stated that she didn't have his bag, at which his face fell....
"...Oh cmon, sweetie, what does it matter what's in the bag?!" Paige threw her arms around Seth, gave him and quick kiss on the cheek and winked at Bunny so that Seth couldn't see. If it wasn't for Bunny doing whatever the hell, she might not have gotten an excuse to make this boring day fun! One girl to another, right? She then turned to wink at Sam for entirely different reasons, and if she had her way the whole beach would be blushing by the end of the evening.
"Anyway, if you're not gonna reward them, I will. Here, both of you. For aiding a life guard's duty!"
life guard paige congratulates sam and bunny! sam and bunny receive: one revive each, 2 pd and gamer seth's eternal gratitude! either end the thread to receive rewards or continue posting. no more npc posts will occur.
