Astrid panted hard and was hanging a lot in the saddle on Yakul, who was sweaty. Astrid pet her neck, "time for a break, this is a hard terrain, especially in this heat!" The old woman had decided to explore the place they had landed and hadn't asked if others thought it was a good idea, mostly because she expected them to want to discourage her due to her age. She had seen it as a confirmation of that suspicion when she informed she was going on the trip to make sure this was an island and if there was something important knowledge which could be good to discover, and the reaction had been worry and some had tried to make her change her mind. She had cut them off by telling them she'd be fine and would be riding.
At the middle of the day as now, it was getting really hot and Astrid wondered if this was normal or if it was a temporary heatwave which were passing. They were almost at the top of the hill they were trying to reach to get a good look at the island, they spent half an hour under a rocky formation for some shade before they continued. "What a view!" Astrid squealed as they had gotten as high up as possible and she did what she could to in print her the surroundings. It was an island, and the water looked to be really swirling further out which was a concern. They began to work their way down and Astrid felt the thirst tear at her throat, she had miscalculated how hot it would be, and how much water she'd need to bring.
Suddenly Yakul veered to the left and eagerly trotted over the rough terrain while ignoring all Astrid's attempt to turn her back to the way towards the beach. Yakul pushed her way through the more and more dense forest and barged through into an opening. Astrid's mouth fell open in amazement as she saw the hidden lake. "It's a paradise," she gasped in wonder and screamed when Yakul reached the water and accidently threw Astrid off her back as she lowered her head to drink. Astrid slid off over Yakul's neck and fell face first into the lake.

The falls were a hidden gem on the island. Tucked away on the opposite side of a sheer cliff that plummeted to certain doom into the deep waters of the surrounding mountainside, they were a breathtaking sight. Large maple trees with compact, rounded canopies with dark green foliage cropped around sweeping southern magnolias whose broad green leaves enshrouded large white flowers decorated the landscape around the waterfalls that cascaded into a welcoming pond at its base. Small wild wax myrtles spiraled out of control in random spots underneath the open fields around the bases of the large trees. Still, the reigning heatwave that climbed into dangerous territories and caused many Pokemon to seek the safety of cool shelter or the coolness of the water’s edge poured down from the burning sun above. Wild fish swam around at the base of the waterfall inside of the large pond. They held a myriad of colors, with each looking more unique than the last. Most of the fish were bright white darlings with large splashes of orange hues sprayed around their sides and along their long, showy tail fins. They would occasionally jump up high in the air, waving their tails in a brilliant display as they pointed their horns to the heavens above. Many jumped and leaped at the falls themselves, ever so slowly scaling their enormous heights. Several would land short of their goal and cascade down the rapids back into the pond below, bouncing along the water and around the sharp rocks near the base of the falls. Some of the fish jumped out at each other, knocking their horns against one another’s in combat as they fought over territorial rights in the pond. One small fish swam away from the crowd and shyly stuck to the edge of the draining rapids. It stared with dreamy eyes as it watched the raging waters sweep over the ledge of the mountain and fall down to the base of the pond below. “If only I were strong enough to jump up the mighty waterfall like my brothers and sisters before me.” It sighed as it talked to itself. It shook its head, shaking the horn that was fixed on the top about with a sad look. “I keep trying but I just can’t make it up there. I don’t know how yet…” When it spotted Astrid, the fish would gasp loudly. It quickly swam to a large rock that jutted out from the bottom of the pond and hid, peering around the side to watch her carefully and see what she might do. “I…I’m not here…” It whimpered, shaking like a leaf where it hid. A Wild Goldeen is hiding! Level 27. Decide what to do here. Which Pokemon? WG0Ch7ZC1-2What Level? 20-28Is it Shiny? 1-421-2·20-28·1-42

Janus flailed wildly as the goldeen apparently forgot all about its timidness from when they had first encountered it, his tiny size and potential yummy looking exterior probably had something to do with it. His first attempts to shock it failed as it slammed into him and sent him into the air, it waited for him and he was lucky now that his size was so small he was neither impaled nor took a hard belly splash down into the water again, but instead was smacked on the side and skidded sideways back into the water. The goldeen looked like it was ready to charge at him again, so he quickly released his electric powers and the fish flipped upside down. He stared at it intently, but it just slowly sunk. It would have been it if the other fish hadn't decided to gather around. "You don't know me, but I am not food! I might be small but I can use electricity which you fish don't like, if you don't believe me, you can ask your friend who tried to eat me. I will use my electricity to defend myself so you will regret it of you try eat me as I will zap you, and I am really good at zapping!" He warned loudly and the water flashed around him, right until Astrid recalled him too, to get him out of the water.
Astrid sighed relieved when she had saved Yakul, only to gasp in horror when she saw Janus fly high up into the air, zap the goldeen which had attacked and now getting surrounded by several other fish. She fumbled to get his pokeball and get him recalled as well, she eyed the goldeens and seakings nervously as she let out her two pokemon to see how they were faring. Yakul shook her head and looked around, sighed relaxing and then sniffed the ground for something edible. Janus faced the water again and glared at the gathered fish out there. "That is a lot," Astrid said as she slowly stood up and shielded her eyes from the sun, "Janus, please tell them we mean them no harm, and that we are sorry for the first surprise and misunderstanding." "We are now out of the water and therefor we have the advantage, you still cannot eat me and now I have help from my friend, who is a grass type. Grass type is like plants, they drink up water so you can't really hurt her, just like you can't really hurt me. Go back to swim in circles or whatever you do, since as water pokemon you will not have a chance to eat me!" Janus stated to the fishes as a matter of fact, loud and clearly.

The fish fish with their bright orange splashes of color decorating their backs and fins swam around in wide ovals and circles. Many bright orange fish with small splashes of black slapped their white fins against the water and spun their wide white tails as they, too, swam in long, imperfect circular patterns. They murmured amongst themselves, shaking their horns this way and that, with wide eyes. “Goldeen is gone.” One screamed worriedly, backing up through the crowd before turning around and jutting off as fast as it could. “They took fellow Goldeen!” Another raised its head up above the water and pointed its horn in Astrid’s and Janus’ direction. Another stared from its friend to the accused party and nodded its head firmly. “They did…they did…evil things, they are!” The accuser nodded and screamed, “THEY ARE GOLDEEN DESTROYERS! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!”Then, within a splash, all of the wild Goldeen and Seaking would spin around and swim away as fast as they could. Many dived deep underneath the water and tried to hide themselves inside of the seaweed at the bottom of the large lake. Some started scaling the waterfalls and climbed their way to the top in an effort to evade her. Many would jump up above the water in long strides, as though they were skipping on top of the water. Some accidentally knocked themselves out of the water’s edge and flopped a bit on the bank as they tried to get back in the water. Whether they would be helped or they would eventually manage to flip-flop back into the lake, they would eventually take off in the blink of an eye. Something stayed though, hidden behind a large rock whose peak just barely jutted from the lake’s floor to burst through the edge of the water. It was a small fish, with two large tail fins, two dorsal fins, and two pelvic fins. The top of the Pokemon was painted in a dark blue hue that was nearly identical to the water itself, while its lower half was of a lighter hue. Small pinkish-purple spots decorated its tail. “Greaatt job, ohh mighttyy flea!” The fish raised itself up as it hopped on top of the rock and stared at the bright yellow Joltik. “Bet you’re real proud of yourself now…huh?!” It laughed sarcastically. It waved its fin in the direction of the fleeing Goldeen and shrugged, before plopping back into the water and rehydrating itself easily so. “You’ve scared the scaredy cats. You’re some brave Pokemon. Oh look at me. I’m shaking with fear!” The Finneon would shake its tail fins and its pectoral fins sarcastically as though it were afraid. Then, it would turn its body halfway and cover its face with one of its fins, as though it were shielding itself from Janus. “Please spare me, oh mighty flea! What will I ever tell the children if you strike me down where I swim!?” A Wild Finneon is taunting Janus! Level 21. Decide what to do here. Shiny?

Janus looked confused at the finneon when it called him proud and a badass, "I think you are wrong, I'm not waving flags around, I'm too small to hold one and don't have any which would be made for me," he began to explain, "and I don't wear sunglasses or say cool sentences to criminals and carry big guns like those cool badass people in the television does, I'm too small for that as well." The fish dived and he tilted his little head. "Are you listening?" Janus called as his long explanations mostly when unanswered and the fish was below water, "can you even hear me down there? Is the water filling your ears or something?" He carefully crawled a bit closer to the water's edge. He narrowed his small eyes in an attempt to spot the blue fish underwater, but its dark overside camouflaged it well, evolution had helped the fish species well by its colors, making it hard to spot from both above and below.
The joltik crawled back hurriedly when the finneon popped out of the water again and he looked at it suspiciously when it said no one was going to eat him. He flinched visibly when one of the seakings leaped out of water and snatched a flying bug and swallowed it. "You do want to eat me! And I do not allow it! If you try, even if I'm in the water, then you will be shocked! I can use electricity and Yakul here will," Janus's further rambling was drowned out by the finneon's begging for mercy as Yakul went into action. "And that will happen in your try anything funny!" He shouted after the fish as it rush off to lick its wounds. Yakul snorted and shook her head, staring at the lake. She snorted another time and then began sniff the dirt at the edge, she began stomping, scraping grass loose before she laid down and began to roll and rub her side against the ground. Janus crawled to a safe distance and watched her warily.
At the sunny boulder Astrid pulled off her drenched clothes and only kept on her underwear. The wet dress and shoes and such she spread out on the boulder to let the sun dry it. She sat down on a smaller flat stone and with a grimace stretched her sore legs, before she relaxed and closed her eyes to enjoy the sun.

It would take some time for the wild fish of the lake to calm back down. In time, white fishes with bright orange splashes swam around large, bright orange fishes with white fins and black splotches. They seemed to return to their normal daily activities, with most of the fish jumping out of the water’s edge to send their sharp white horns to clash against each other. One large Seaking knocked a smaller Goldeen out of the water, where it flopped about on the ground and gulped. The sun’s rays beat down from the heaven’s above – not nearly as catastrophically hot as before, but a detriment for a fish caught outside of the water’s warm embrace. Something moved from the deep. Long, thin blue antennas popped out from the depths of the water’s edge, moving this way and that curiously as they swam. It darted towards the edge of the water. Half of the Pokemon’s face rose of from the deep. It would rise up just enough to allow its large, yellow eyes with their plus-shaped pupils to search around the area. The antennas would shoot up straight in alarm when they landed on Astrid spreading out her soaked clothes on boulders to dry. The large yellow electric sacs at the ends of the Pokemon’s antennas waved dramatically in the air before it would duck underneath the water’s edge. But the Goldeen called out from the side of the lake. After some time, the Chinchou would slowly crawl up onto the shoreline. Cautiously, it would pause several times and search around to ensure that Astrid did not rush over to its side. While the coast seemed clear, the Chinchou would immediately run to the white fish with large orange splotches on its scales and roll it back into the safety of the water’s edge. It only paused when it noticed Janis. Frozen, the Chinchou would consider carefully if it was wise to converse with a fellow electric type, or if it should carry on about it’s mostly hidden life. “Be safe, little bug.” It commented to Janis, before rushing back towards the water’s edge. A Wild Chinchou is trying to remain unseen by Astrid! Level 26. Decide what to do here. Shiny? DeLSYXa|1-421-42

When Penelope was looking for the Pink Tree again, she got lost and found herself in a different part of forest. She could sense the peace in this area, and could see how crystal clear the water was. She also observed that the large trees in the area provided additional shade. She couldn't help but to choose this area to relax for a bit. She called out all of her Pokemon to enjoy the view and the atmosphere.
Potato began taking a nap under the tree, while avoiding the water as much as possible. Narctar was checking himself out in the reflection of the water. Horizon was slowly flapping her wings and enjoying the sunlight. Zuroy laid on the water and floated peacefully. Penelope grabbed some snacks from her backpack and began munching. She was glad there wasn't like, other people in the area to disturb her peace.
OOC: Can Zigzagoon from Ethan's box and Chinchou from Alex's box be moved to Penelope's Box?
If it hadn't already, Skiddo from Penny's box moved to party.
Others can join if not I'll do this solo

The secluded falls brought a sense of peace and tranquility to the area. Since most of the Pokemon that seemed to call this place home swam in its watery depths, it left the land barren and dry from wildlife activities. Therefore, when the first strange arrived on the scene, it was natural that the Pokemon of Paradise Falls would have taken notice. When another trainer – a young Picknicker who couldn’t have been older than sixteen or seventeen – appeared, some of the Pokemon immediately took notice and seemed to whisper amongst themselves. “Two-legs everywhere” The fish swam back and forth, splashing against the top of the water. “Two-legs invading our home…”Many of the simpler fish continued in their simpler lives. While large, orange scaled fish with splashes of black along their body and white along their fins turned to stare ominously in in Penelope and her Pokemon’s direction, smaller white fish with bright orange splotches leaped out of the waters to scale the mighty waterfall. It was almost breathtaking to watch the goldfish leap out of the water as though they were flying through the air itself. Their tail fins would spin like rudders and their pelvic fins slapped against the rushing currents repeatedly as they wriggled and squirmed their way up to the top of the waterfall. Though many made it, many more did not. The remains of the fish who flopped back to the bottom of the waterfall floundered about underneath its torrential downpour into the lake below. They bounced off a series of rocks, until they managed to land in the deeper waters of the lake, where they would swim around and resize the waterfall for scalability. One fish glared from the murky depths of the water. “These two-legs have had enough!” It grumbled underneath its breath and spun around like a rotating blade. Out of nowhere, the small grey fish shot out and sped after Penelope and her team like a speeding bullet. Only when it neared the edge of the lake would it stop. There, the Remoraid lurked, hiding near a collection of grey slabs that lined the bottom of the shallow end of the lake. Its cheeks puffed up and when Narctar stared at himself in his own reflection, the Jet Pokemon spewed a hot Jetstream of water at the bulbous pitcher plant’s face. “GO BACK TO WHERE YOU CAME FROM!” It screamed at the top of its lungs, spinning around to dart after Zuroy to try and ram against her back with its pointed horn-like dorsal fin. “TAKE THE FILTHY TWO-LEGS AWAY FROM OUR HAPPY HOMES!” It huffed and puffed. A Wild Remoraid is attacking! Level 27.What will Penelope do? Decide here. Shiny? P5jTw6Tk1-421-42

Janus looked confused when chinchou talked about not being a keeper, "you are playing soccer down there?" He asked surprised, "and not to be rude, but I don't think you would be a very good keeper, you need arms and legs for that," he said and glanced at Yakul. "If she could learn the rules she might be a good player, she would be able to kick the ball around easily, but I would be an even worse keeper than you would, if I tried to stop any ball from getting into the goal, I just be swept along. Why are we talking about this again?" Yakul had slowed down at the edge of the trees although she still made some occasionally weird twitches, she stomped the ground impatiently and turned to look at the chinchou, before slowly turning her head towards Astrid, who was sitting in a safe distance from the commotion. She sighed and relaxed and lowered her head to nibble on the greens which grew here. Janus frowned at what the deep sea fish told him, "but that's what I'm doing! I am small so people think they can walk over me and eat me, and I'm fighting to show its not the case and to make others listen. I'm fighting you because you said I should fight my own battles. Yakul's only job is to protect Astrid, since our trainer is very old and she cannot defend herself very well," he explained and looked closer at Chinchou, it sounded like it thought he had some control over Yakul but he thought it was clear that he didn't.
Janus paused and stared at the flashing of the flashing of the antennaes, they were made to catch the attention of small potential prey and they worked even above water. Janus pulled himself out of it and stomped a tiny little foot annoyed, "Stop trying to hypnotize me! I know what you do, I have seen it in the television. You hide and flash those things to get what you eat to come closer and get hypnotized and then you zap them and eat them!" He almost shouted, "you haven't tried to eat me yet," he accused and only saw the part of it wanting to help a fish which would eat him, confirm his belief that it was friends with the others and in the end would like to eat him too. He didn't want to give it a chance to succeed with that, so while it talked he leaped at it landed on top, the electricity which surely flashed around there didn't bother him and he bit down making the pokemon beneath him cry out. It swept him off almost immediately with one of its antennae's and plumped into the water to escape him.
Janus stood tall and proud, he had defended himself and had showed them that he wasn't food. He glanced at the water as he turned to crawl the long way over to Astrid, and he kept shooting glances back to make sure none of the fish were trying to sneak up on him. "I'm not blind," he said to himself, "I have eyes and I have ears and of course my mind is closed, its inside my head," he continued to mumble as he got closer to Astrid. The part of only believing what you wanted to believe made little sense to him, could you decide that on your own? What was a belief anyway? He knew what knowledge was, that was the truth, but belief? He had only seen shows about religion where they talked about believing, but he wasn't religius. He mulled over it as he crawled up on the warm rock Astrid was sunning herself on and settled beside her.
Sound of splashing and a young female's voice pulled Astrid out of her dozing and she opened her eyes and looked surprised when she spotted Penelope near the lake.

The balmy summer’s day could seem like a dream for some. The bright burning star that clung in the day’s sky burned with a fierce intensity. It was enough to cause many to seek shelter underneath the tall trees that surrounded the land near the large lake. A gentle breeze rustled the star-shaped leaves that clung to the long, snake-like branches that shot out in all directions and formed the canopies above. Luckily, the heat was nothing like it had been before, leaving behind a welcomed cooling touch from the now long-past heatwave that may have felt like only a dream for some. Still, the fish that jumped about seemed to have all sped off and disappeared. Now, the open lake felt eerily empty. A quiet stilled the waters, causing their gentle ebb and flow to seem silent and nonexistent. Only when small leaves were broken off of the tall branches above to drift down onto the water’s surface, would the lake see movement. Small waves shot out from the leaves as soon as they touch the water’s surface. These waves would roll away from the leaves in a strange, almost perfect circular pattern. The leaves drifted softly on top of the water, swaying in different directions as they drifted with the ever-changing winds. And still, the Pokemon that had all but vanished seemed to remain in hiding, as though they were plotting something…but what? When Astrid managed to wake up, something swam closer to her near the surface of the water. A small Remoraid popped up on the top of the water and tilted its head curiously. When it noticed Janus and, in turn, the wily Skiddo, it would immediately duck underneath the water with a loud gasp. She seems to friendly and warm… The Remoraid thought to itself. How can I…I know! It would pop back up and spit large shot of water as Janus and Yakul, trying to knock them out of the way. “Excuse me but…I want the human so you both can leave!” It warned them, trying to sound tough as though it were bluffing for its life. A Wild Remoraid is attacking! Level 27.What will Astrid do? Decide here. Shiny Baby? CNjh2Hg31-421-42

"Don't you have any?" Janus asked brutally honest, "then you need to talk with others and not be so threateningly. Can't you talk with the other fish down there?" The remoraid looked down and mumbled something about the others not wanting to play with it, although Janus had a hard time hearing it. "We are yes! I have kept telling the other fish which lives down there that I'm not food, but I don't think they understood it," he said thoughtfully, "do they think you are food too?" That would make it very hard to make friends down there. He didn't really get any answers as Astrid came closer and offered the fish what it wished, the other options of how they could be together and it eagerly accepted. "Oh my goodness! That must be a yes!" Astrid laughed, not really having expected that outcome. She picked up the pokeball with a smile, "hopefully you can help me figure something out about the areas around the island, and if we can get away somehow," Astrid told the pokeball and after having pocketed it, got Yakul to help her back up standing. She wondered if it would be possible to make a raft and get enough pokemon swimmers to pull the survivors back to the mainland. "Might be best if one some went, would be a hard trip," she mused and walked over to watch the other trainer battle her remoraid.
"You can do it! Do not give up!" She called out to encourage her, "it probably will not help to suggest she should ask it," she said to herself with a little smile.

As Astrid walked over to watch Penelope's battle a wild Pokemon lurking in one of the small pools nearby kept watch. It had seen Astrid capture it's friend and it was in no mood for games as it fired off a Bubble Beam towards the elderly trainer hoping to teach her a lesson. It missed however scoring a hit on a nearby rock though it had managed to get Astrid's attention with the attempted bubble massacre. It did not have many options left as it could no longer rely on sneak attacks and the small pool it was in was not deep enough to hide from Astrid. Though it had miscalculated in it's attempt to punish Astrid it still had a chance to get some payback if it could win a battle against her. The Remoraid splashed and thrashed as it tried to psyche itself up for the upcoming battle. It was going to get revenge or go down in a blaze of glory trying. Remoraid (Level 26) demands a battle. Battle it here. Shiny? su1T2Y5d1-421-42

Penelope jumped for joy when she finally caught the Remoraid. She grabbed the Pokeball with one hand, her other hand also raised up in the air, and combined with her feet jumping and splashing in the water. Horizon and Zuroy this time decided to watch and let Narcatar handle the next one, as Horizon definitely needed a rest from the last battle. The human went on her way to store the captured Remoraid into her backpack, and wanted to go meet the other trainer, who was way older than her. However, on her way there, the other woman was already confronted with another Remoraid.
Another Remoraid had peeped out of the water and fired Bubble Beam at the old lady. While they missed her, some of the bubbles had startled Narctar, who was enjoying himself in the water. He got agitated now, and grew himself bigger to show any other fish who dared to show up who's the boss. Now that he looked bigger, he tagged along Penelope to the pool where she stood. Next, he cleared his throat to get ready for some Bullet Seed at whoever fish dared to show up. He may have heard about those territorial fishes, but he wasn't sure what to expect when they interrupted his self-appreciation session.
