[attr="class","mv1"]"oh look...more water." evan pointed out towards the vast ocean that was close to the town of petalburg. they had finally made it a few days ago and they had yet to head to the beach there. there was a festival happening in the city which made sense since all the trainers he had ran into were heading to the city. there seemed to be a lot to do here unlike the rest of the towns they had stopped in. it looked to be a major stop for traveling trainers.
once again evan had left his companion behind and had ventured out to explore the city by himself, wanting to take in the sights. the first thing he wanted to do was check out the beach before all the people came out later that day. sure he had gotten lost a couple of times but eventually with some help from the locals and snow flying overhead to check out the landscape, he had finally made it to the beach.
the water lapped at his ankles as he stood in the water, peering out into the ocean with no particular thing on his mind. it was calm and relaxing and if he could, he would spend the rest of the day out here. but sadly there was more city to explore and he wanted to get sightseeing out of the way before going back to meet with noah.
He was bothered. Agitated. Normally the beach was so quiet, quiet enough for him to bask in the warmer shallows on nice days like this. But no. Instead there were humans splashing and shrieking everywhere. They were even scaring away the magikarp! He was at his wit's end. If they wanted something to shriek about, he'd give them something to shriek about!
The next pair of delicious legs he saw in the water were his target and, baring his teeth, he went in to bite those toes. But no! The water was too shallow for him to reach! He began swimming, now more aggravated, up and down near this human, leering at them from the water.

[attr="class","nv3"] machine thanks for taking my catching thread. going to pass this one \o

[attr="class","mv1"]evan thought he saw something in the water but he wasn't sure if he was seeing things. he peered closely at the water and jumped in surprise when he saw the shape. he saw the teeth before anything else and was glad he had not been standing that deep in the ocean. he watched it swim nearby clearly glaring at him for probably being in its territory. "uh..." evan took a few steps back out of the water and waved nervously at the pokemon. "sorry about that. i'll just go somewhere else." there was no way he was getting into it with a carvahna of all things. there could be others nearby and he wasn't about to stay and find out. they were known for chewing through solid steel and they would easily rip him and his pokemon to shreds if they had the chance.
he walked further down the beach and sighed when he thought he got far enough away from the spot where the carvahna had been lurking. taking out a pokeball, he released snow out into the air, watching as she flew down near the water and started to clean herself. "watch out for other pokemon okay?" he didn't want any of them to get the drop on them again. he liked all body parts intact.
Oh, dear. How did she even end up here? She'd been basking in the warmer shallows, just like any other fish, when the tide suddenly went out and... and... left her in this tiny rockpool! The water was beginning to get much too warm for her... and there was no one else to talk to. How was she ever going to last here until the tide rose again and she was allowed to return to the sea?
Oooh... maybe that wingull over there would help? Or what about that trainer over there?
The luvdisc began to splash about, in the hopes of catching someone's attention.
A wild luvdisc has appeared!
wingull ♂ lv.08
keen eye
growl
water gun
supersonic
wing attack
He'd been watching this luvdisc for a while. She appeared well and truly trapped in that rockpool. An easy meal.
The wingull continued circling the patch of the beach where the sand had been washed away, revealing coarse rocks littered with pools of seawater. He... He wasn't hesitating or anything! He was just... biding his time while this warm updraft from inland still blew.
He steadily began gliding lower and lower as the luvdisc began to splash about, until he finally landed near the rockpool and tucked his wings in. He tilted his head and hopped closer.

[attr="class","mv1"]evan wasn't sure what he was expecting next on his trip down the beach. he faintly heard the sound of splashing and stopped to turn towards the ocean. he was hoping the carvahna had not followed him down the beach since they were known for being territorial. he looked out into the water and saw nothing. the splashing was coming from nearby and he was sure that he heard a faint cry of a pokemon. he glanced over to a small rock formation near the ocean and glanced inside one of the rock pools. "um..." he could only stare at the sight of the luvdisc splashing helplessly in the shallow water. evan looked around and only spotted a wingull flying nearby that had its eye on the small water type. evan walked closer, keeping his eyes on the other pokemon before stepping closer to see what was wrong. "hey are you stuck? do you need help?"
snow saw her trainer walking closer to the rock pool and spotted the other two pokemon in it. the swablu was still young and inexperienced and had trouble reading situations, almost like a young child. so when she spotted the pokemon near evan her first instinct was to help her trainer in any way possible. since the pokemon was splashing and not calming down, she wanted to help it relax. snow flew nearby and began to make a light musical call, using sing down at the pokemon to help out. evan quickly looked up and saw the flying type attacking the pokemon and tried not to sigh in response. "ugh not again..."
Oh, what a nice human! Until his swablu comes over and starts singing. The song sounded really nice, but then luvdisc felt really drowsy...Her eyes start drooping. Her movements start to slow until she drifts to the center of the whirlpool.
luvdisc falls asleep!
wingull ♂ lv.08
keen eye

supersonic
wing attack
Wingull pops up in surprise. He looks at the pokemon thankfully and plucks the luvdisc out of the water. It's sleeping but he can kill it easily.

[attr="class","nv3"] cilalic LUVDISC NOOOOO also rolled a 3 for fury attack. i think thats how it works o/
[attr="class","mv"]
[attr="class","mv1"]evan didn't understand why his pokemon always thought it was okay to randomly attack the wild ones they see when they are out. maybe it was because she was still young and naive about the way things worked. he felt himself grow a little tired as the attack was aimed down towards the pokemon, unfortunately next to where he was standing. raising a hand to his face, he slapped himself awake to prevent from falling face first into the small rock pool. "snow stop!" he tried to call out as he watched the luvdisc soon fall asleep within the water. the wingull however managed to stay safe and took that time to pluck the water type in its claws. "wait no!" he watched in stunned silence as the wingull flew into the air. "hey, where are you going?" the swablu had stopped singing her song when her trainer had shouted but he still looked in distress as he watched the two pokemon take off. knowing that the wingull needed to be stopped, the swablu took after them, diving straight at the wingull to deliver a fury attack, hoping to peck at the bird a number of times in order for it to drop the small water type.
Ah! Wingulh struggles to stay aloft. she stumbles, dropping the luvdisc right above evan. Fine, if they wanted to play dirty he'll geghis lunch right back! Wingull shrieks at the swablu in attempt to confuse it, and after that shoots a gush of water towards it.

SWABLU WAS HIT BY SUPERSONIC! SWABLU BECAME CONFUSED! SWABLU WAS HIT BY WATER GUN! SWABLU USED FURY ATTACK! x3
[attr="class","nv3"] cilalic random number generator hated me and then loved me.

[attr="class","mv1"]evan watched his pokemon rush at the wingull and began to peck at it, the fight going on between them causing it to lose grip of the luvdisc. since he was standing under them, the water type fell right at him causing him to reach up his hands to try and catch it. he caught the sleeping pokemon in his arms and looked down to see if it was alright. "okay um...i'll just wait for you to wake up so i can put you back in the water." he mumbled down to it and walked closer to the shore. he wanted the pokemon to at least wake up before he let it go into the ocean. he didn't want to watch it start floating away and then get eaten by something again.
the swablu attacks landed and it moved out of the way to avoid getting hit again. however it was unable to get far enough to avoid hearing the shriek emitted from the bird. the flying type started to feel dizzy and she could barely focus on anything. through the world spinning around, she was also hit with a spray of water. the swablu cried in distress and tried to focus on where her opponent was. seeing a faint outline threw her spinning vision, she managed to come at the wingull again for another fury attack.

[attr="class","nv3"] cilalic gonna pass on the pokemon and end the thread. thanks again o/ also that luvdisc was amazing okay
[attr="class","mv"]
[attr="class","mv1"]evan winced at the loud shriek the wingull gave off and noticed that his pokemon was affected by the attack. snow flew dizzily in the air and could not even avoid the water attack that came straight at her. evan wasn't too worried about his pokemon at the moment and knew the confusion would wear off eventually. she once again began to peck at the wingull again and sighed in relief when the flying type finally fell unconscious and fell towards the rocks. he hoped the bird would be alright but right now he was more concerned about the sleeping luvdisc in his arms.
recalling snow to her pokeball to help her get rid of her status effect, evan then walked closer to the shore and lightly placed the luvdisc in the water. he hoped that it would at least wake up very soon so it could be on its way. he felt bad for the pokemon but at least it was safe from the wingull for now. "um...i'll stay with you until you wake up. would hate to see you get eaten by something right after we saved you." he commented down to the still sleeping pokemon that was drifting in the waves. this day was turning out to have a great start.
