In the shadows beneath a rock a dark blue fish had followed the attempted teaching of dancing and it had snorted several times of the goldeen's words. It had went completely unnoticed but it was no surprise, its colors with a dark top and a light bottom was perfect for the water. Making it hard to see from both above and below when it swam around which gave it plenty of time to watch and study before it made its move. It was time now for that move and it swam forward and watching the shadows over water, battling was what this one fish liked, testing its strength against others and seeing how it could overcome them and become better. It had already ventured out into the deep sea a couple of times but preferred to be stronger first, potential evolve before it really set out to test what it could do there. While its camouflage was great in water, especially the more deeper ones it didn't work well in these shallow waters as it reached the shore. Its dark back was clear against the sandy bottom but it didn't matter, it wanted to be seen after all. "Hey! What are you?" It called and if it didn't get any reaction it would poke its head up above water and try again. "I'm a finneon, known for beauty but don't get me wrong, I'm a strong fighter! I'm looking for someone to test my strength against and you are new and could potential learn me some new stuff."It looked confidently between whoever was on the beach, "anyone brave enough to face me?"Finneon [Lv 25] wants to test itself against Mishu's pokemon.

Karasu swooped down on the Nest Ball before Mishu could run over to pick it up off of the ground. She placed one large, clawed foot on its and peered down at the strange contraption. Where did the strange fish go? It found her so funny and wanted to fight her to prove how strong it was as a contestant. Then the strange Pokemon simply poofed off into another space and time inside of these strange balls that even she found herself compelled to. “Come back?” Karasu asked softly on the tip of her tongue, unsure if that would make a difference. Could she ask for the Finneon to just poof itself back into existence in front of her that easily? Or was she forced to wait for her trainer to choose when such a thing would happen for her.
Mishu walked over and waved a hand in her blackbird’s direction. “Come now, Karasu.” She called to the large crow. “Take your foot off the ball please. We’ve got to let to go to the lab. There our professional companions can study the Finneon in more depth. Perhaps, I’ll trade it away eventually, too.” Mishu mused to herself. Karasu tilted a questioning glance at her trainer and stretched her wings out with a loud caw. Was she going to just hand over the Nest Ball that easily because Mishu instructed her too? Mishu hummed thoughtfully to herself as she considered the weight of her words.
She really didn’t have any use for Finneon beyond possible further research for her companions back at the labs within her estates. Most of her students loved studying anything that they could get their hands on, so being able to study the movements of a Finneon in person would benefit them greatly. Would she simply trade it away, instead? Allowing Finneon to travel with a trainer who would give it the specialized time and care it needed to be beneficial for the Pokemon. Battling and gaining strength would help it eventually evolve, as well, if there was an evolutionary path forward for the blue fish. It was a conundrum to be sure. As Karasu backed away from her Nest Ball and tucked her wings back at her sides, Mishu snagged it off the ground and cleaned it off before allowing it to be teleported off to the labs. “This is a nice area…none of you have seen me swim, huh?” Mishu smirked.
Mishu dug around in her supplies and pulled out her spare outfit she’d carried with her, then found a private surrounding of thick bushes and tall trees where she could switch into it. She approached the edge of the lake in her shorts and tank top with a bright smile. Even though the weather was beginning to cool off, this was still a decent time for her to take a quick dip. She walked out far enough in the water where the bank would dip, causing her to climb into the lake and swim around. Her hands splashed against the surface, and she dived repeatedly, only to resurface once more. The felt cool to the touch – almost chilling against Mishu’s skin as she swam around. Kotaro’s mouth fell open and his eyes widened as he watched his trainer – who he’d previously believed might not be able to swim – swim gracefully through the waters with elegant breaststrokes and butterfly strokes. When did she learn to swim – and so well?! He jumped into the lake and floundered around with its long, gangly legs as he swam after his trainer. “Don’t worry, Mishu! I’ll save you!” Kotaro promised, all while doing his best to keep his head above the surface of the water.

They were a odd pair, the human swimmer and the thievul who seemed to think his well swimming trainer needed his help. The seaking which had swam over to see what all the splashing was about watched them silently for quite some time and it could have just been it, it could have found them boring and then chose to swim away without them even noticing it had been there. Instead the seaking swam forward and one of the times Mishu dived she would come face to face with it. "You are not doing a very good job of drowning yourself, and neither is your friend," It said gloomily, since why else would a land dwelling species enter the water and try get below surface? "You don't look like you mean it though,"t added and would follow her to the surface where it looked blankly at Kotaro. "I know life is tough and unfair and that you have no hope of getting away from here, but you don't act like you have given up hope yet."It sighed heavily, "we're all trapped here with those whirlpools surrounding the islands and everyone expects you to be happy and grateful for what the island gives you, and not dream about another life. You are not allowed to think life is against you or is unfair, you are not allowed to dream about anything else than what you already got, you should just be happy and cheerfull all the time," it added bitterly and looked down into the surface for a bit. "Hey, any of you wanting to battle? To take the mind of our situation and pretend its something else?" It asked and looked from one to the other anything but enthusiastic.

The large hellhound tipped her horned head down and narrowed her eyes. Seaking’s words were as sour and unneeded now as they had ever been. “If you’re going to talk about me.” Hinoina snapped, with flames licking around her sharp, pointed teeth. “Then you best speak to me!” What this fish tried to insinuate about her burned her to her core. She wanted to leap into the water and tear the brightly colored koi fish apart, fin by fin! How presumptuous of it to think that it knew her?! It was clearly a threat to her friends. A threat that she wouldn’t just lay down and allow to exist so easily. She pawed at the edge of the water and howled in pain every time the water leaped up and touched her paws.
Kotaro’s face dropped as he watched his friend pacing about, trying to get ahold of the koi fish. Seaking swam away nearly as easy as it appeared, giving up in the midst of the battle after Hinoina managed to wear it down in a nearly one-sided battle. He paced over to her and placed his long, thin snout on Hinoina’s back with a weak smile. “Don’t worry about it that much, Hinoina…” Though, even with Kotaro’s kind words, Hinoina spun around and shot him a sharp look, causing Kotaro to back up and sit down in the warm sands. “I’m just saying…it was-” Hinoina raised her hackles and pressed her flared nostril into the side of Kotaro’s face. How could he act like they weren’t previously in danger?! Did the fish not offer to help drown them originally, regardless of if it was a misunderstanding or not? That was something she couldn’t take so lightly.
“Just what, Kotaro?!” Hinoina demanded from Kotaro with a long howl. She stomped one foot into the ground and dug at the earth with her sharp claws. Yosei laughed nervously and slipped away from both of the canines, not entirely sure his usually joking manners would be well welcomed in the moment. There were few things that managed to get the small, child-like pink imp to straighten his act up. Hinoina was definitely one of those ‘few things’, especially when she was caught within her own emotions. Mishu stepped in between both of the canines and gently pushed Hinoina’s fierce fangs away from Kotaro, incorrectly assuming that they were about to break out into an all-out fight against each other.
“Hinoina, no!” Mishu crossed her arms over her chest and frowned at her tall horned hellhound whose head rested just below her own. Hinoina’s sharp red eyes narrowed down on her trainer, and although her snarling face remained, she backed up. “You should know better than to fight with your own packmates.” Mishu sighed, then turned to Kotaro in turn. She reached out and gently stroked her canine on the top of his head, then stroked Hinoina carefully on the top of her head. “Come on guys…what’s wrong? Surely, you won’t let one little fish get you both worked up so much…are you both hungry? Is that it?” Mishu asked, studying their body language to try to deduce what the issue was.
Hinoina glanced away and stared angrily at a random pebble on the ground. With Mishu standing her ground and in the hellhound’s way, there was no way that Hinoina would let it escalate any further. After a long moment of silence, she would slowly calm herself down and return her attention back to the conversation with a softer yet firmer tone. “I was protecting you both. You should know that it’s my sworn duty to keep you all safe from signs of danger.” She furrowed her brows and refused to return her gaze back to Kotaro. The long legged red fox smiled and wagged his tail, thankful to have a friend that cared so much about him – even if she was very rough around the edges. “And I appreciate that about you.” He admitted.

As fog crept in from the sea and covered everything in a white blanket, it could almost seem as if the seaking's gloomy mood had transferred to the weather. It was surprisingly chilly and dew formed on every grass straw and making every paw and footstep a wet one. Down below surface they wouldn't feel any difference as the fog would never venture down there, some fish philosophers had wondered about that in the past and if the fog ever would get dense enough for a fish to swim up into the. The discussions quickly turned to what would happen when the fog disappeared again while fish were swimming in it, and it created two main theories, one said that the fog would slowly merge with the sea and safely bring the fish down with them, while the other stated that the fog would disappear in a blink of an eye and the fish would fall and better not be too high or above land. It had never been possible to test out the theories. A goldeen swam through the underwater way from the sea and into the lake with the falls. It was a place the young hatchlings usually started their swimming lessons in and had playdates as it was a safe spot from predators, both flying and swimming. This goldeen was way too big to go on playdates and it came alone, it circled the pond clearly looking for something, or someone. It paused at the water fall and then with a guilty grin it poked its head up inside it and looked around in the watery cave between the falling water and the cliff, then swam forward letting the water cascade down on its head before it dived and continued to circle the rest of the pond. It poked its head up and looked around, scanning the sky for birds but couldn't see any, and lingered for a moment about the theories of fog, it shook its head and dived again. It poked its head out of water a moment later again when it spotted someone on land who might have seen something. "Excuse me? Have you seen an old grumpy fart of a seaking around here somewhere?" It called out to the ones on land, "he's old and always talk about the end of the world, but he's my grandpa and we haven't seen him in some days, so I just want to check up on him."Goldeen [Lv 25] wants to know where its grumpy grandpa has gone to.

Penelope was trying to find her way back toward the ship from the safety of the thick fog. It's probably not a good idea to roam around when you can't even see past your feet. Thankfully, there wasn't like scary island legends about ghosts in this thick fog, so she didn't have to worry about ghost ship or something. She walked for quite a bit, holding her hand onto tree barks along the way to make it seems like she had a footing. Soon enough, she saw some light glowing in the background. Was that the ship's light? She remembered someone with an electric Pokemon in the ship, were they signaling and looking for survivors to come back?
Then, she stepped on something wet, and soon she realized she heard a familiar waterfall sound.
Oh, she's back to this place again. So she did have a vague memory of where to go, but it was to the falls and not where the ship was. However, where would the light be coming from then? She tossed out a Pokeball of her one and only flying Pokemon. "Horizon, I can't see. Can you clear the fog a little?"
She floated in the air and flapped her wings a little harder. Penelope could see the familiar waterfalls where she met the older woman. She should probably continue toward the shipwreck to find a spot for safety, but now her feet were wet and she wanted to dry them for a bit. As she took off her shoes and socks, she saw a little glowing light again? Was this the same glow earlier?
Horizon thought she noticed something and turned toward if anything came up to attack them. From her experience battling a Remoreid here, she figured she would start off with a Light Screen as defense.

Yōsei relaxed. It was nice to have someone that found him fun to be around. When Goldeen nudged Yōsei's side gently, he spun around in the water and tilted his head. Would a prank really be the same if he were spending his time asking his friends what kind of ‘tricks’ they liked the most? He wasn’t so sure that this fish’s suggestions would work out as well as it seemed to think they would. He took it into consideration, but mentally doubted how successful that route would go. “I guess…” He hummed under his voice while the smile tickled the corners of his lips. “But you know what? I’m so glad you found it fun!”
When the time came to separate, Yōsei waved to Goldeen as he watched it swim back to its friends in the deeper parts of the large waterfall. “I hope things work out for your grandpa!” Yōsei called after his newfound friend by cupping his hands around his mouth and shouting at the top of his lungs. How difficult must it have been for that fish to always chase after its grandparent, trying to keep up with the other fish’s whereabouts at all times? It was something that Yōsei wasn’t sure he would do as easily and with as much dedication. Sure, he’d go hunting for his friends on Mishu’s team…but that was a different beast altogether. They weren’t always running off. Or…you know what? Was it really that different?
Mishu smiled as Yōsei climbed out of the water and back onto the dry bank beside the large lake. Water dripped from the tiny imp’s body. Yōsei spun around in quick circles to shake himself off and sent large droplets of water off his body to spray everyone else around him. Kotaro jumped back while coughing and spitting the water droplets as he shook his head. “Hey…hey…hey!” He barked with a gruff growl underneath his voice, while shaking himself off. “Can you watch it a bit better than that, huh?” He demanded. Yōsei laughed with a shrug and leaned against his friend while blowing on the tips of his fingernails. “Sorry, buddy! I just met the most interesting fish ever! How do you know if it’s love at first site?” Yōsei half-giggled.
“Did you have a lot of fun out there, Yōsei?” Mishu asked curiously. Yōsei nodded his head firmly while Kotaro’s eyes widened with shock. He glanced towards the tall falls that spilled over the top of the ridge and cascaded into the lake below and back to the wily imp. The long legged red fox just couldn’t understand what might have happened while Yōsei was far out in the large lake, swimming around with the fishes. “But…you’re not even in the same egg group! Are you?” Yōsei laughed with a shake of his head and tapped Kotaro against his leg with one hand. “Poor…poor Kotaro…you wouldn’t understand the fine dance that is love, would you? It’s ok…love doesn’t worry about such trivial things like ‘egg groups’ and such…”
Mishu noticed something tall moving through the fog and blinked several times. What was that? “Guys…keep your wits about you…” She shushed them worriedly and pointed in the direction of Penelope. Though Penelope’s shadow seemed very humanish in the distance, Mishu couldn’t be quite so sure. She carefully and slowly lingered through the fog with her hands cupped around her mouth, and called out to the strange figure in the distance. “H-hey? Who goes there? My name’s Mishu!” She turned to Suraimu, who stretched up to be nearly as tall as his owner and waved his entire body around joyfully. “Prepare yourself, Suraimu…ok?” Fearing that it could be some strange bear.

The fog was stubbornly hanging around and refused to leave, Horizon's attempts became feeble as it just whirled around and did all it could to hug him and stay around. It might just the be last spasms, hanging on with its figuratively nails before it got burned or blown away, or perhaps it was thick and dense enough to hang around for the next month. Who knew? certainly not the fog itself as it didn't really have any consciousness of its own. It was great at hiding things and making it spooky, although things which shone enough would be able to send flashes through even the dense fog to make themselves seen. Penelope did really see something as she herself got spotted, but not by whatever it was that was in the lake. A couple of beautiful fish where swimming in circles around each other, posing and stretching to show the other their best side while they praised the other ones beauty and style. They were great friends simply due to having so much in common: all their beauty, which was only rivaled by the other. It was a thing which could easily have ended in them being jealous of each other but as they were the only ones and no one else would ever be able to as much as dream about outshining them, they had banded together and helped the other be the best they ever could be. A shout through the fog caught their attention and they looked eagerly at each other. In a lazy, elegant swim they set out to find the new arrivals and to impress them with their looks and their elegance. It was easy and as they got closer a shimmering light dance in the air momentarily. The two fish didn't need to speak to each other to know what to do, the finneon leaped out of the water and posed, its brilliant scales shimmering even in the fog, it spun around and the quick motion sent a gust in over land, which was broken up a lot by the shield which Horizon had raised. The goldeen speed through the water with incredible speed and leaped out of the water as finneon plumped back down again. The golden fish wouldn't think twice about it, but suddenly it was convinced it didn't need to use that trick to become faster ever again! Or at least for quite some time. Goldeen [Lv 21] and Finneon [Lv 28] are showing off their beauty! Fog will be in effect!Continue battle hereShiny: Ot_traPC1-421-421-42·1-42

After capturing the Finneon Kevin started to try his luck at finding another Pokemon in the falls. The other trainers in the area made it a bit more challenging as so many people would likely scare off most of the Pokemon in the area but he knew after runnning into a Horsea already that it would be worth the effort to keep searching for as long as he possibly could. The strong Pokemon in the area were also super useful for training his team more for the next gym battle whenever he got rescued. As he dove into the deepest part of the water to search for another Pokemon Samantha groaned as the mere sight of her trainer swimming again annoyed her to no end.
" This place is so gross, I have no idea how you all can like water so much. You are crazy if you think I am going to take one step towards that water if something leaps out at us. Nothing on this planet is worth getting wet in such a dreary place. You and Oracle can have fun with whatever greets you." As she walked towards the entrance of the falls to.try and stay as far away from the water as possible Oracle joined Kevin in the water as she started to scan around for another Pokemon.
It was a bit hard to focus with all of the trainers and their Pokemon around but she could faintly pick up on some Pokemon hiding in the water. " I do not blame the wild Pokemon here for being scared, there is quite a bit of noise right now but maybe one of them will be brave enough to greet us soon. Something must be brave enough to investigate this commotion. Hopefully it will not be too long until luck is on our side again." Just as she finished speaking Kevin noticed some bubbles coming from beneath a pile of rocks beneath the surface as he went to investigate. It could be nothing but such a strange arrangement of bubbles was too good to pass up on the off chance it was a wild Pokemon trying to hide.
" I have a feeling these bubbles are a sign of something. Oracle be ready just in case as almost anything could be hiding beneath them." He then started to lift the rocks as sand was kicked up beneath them. Once it settled he would be able to see if his effort was worth it or not.

Winter came pouring in through the front door with a vengeance. It shrieked and screamed while dumping tons of snow that covered the ground in a winter white wonderland. Thick balls of crystalized ice swirled in the air and slammed into the ground, breaking, and shattering into smaller pieces as the storm raged on. Even the lake – whose magnificent waterfall cascaded over the edge of a steep cliffside – began to freeze over. Thick sheets of ice etched their way up from the shorelines towards the waterfalls in the back of the lake against the bottom of the cliffside, leaving holes only where the ice was the thinnest. A feisty little bullet-shaped grey fish zipped this way and that underneath the ice. It fumed to itself, alarmed, and upset to see how its friends were all battling these strange humanoid creatures that stomped all about their area. It jumped up through one of the holes in the thick ice that coated the top of the lake and shot out powerful blasts of water. When one of the strange trainers dived into the water and swam around below the ice, this angered the little fish more! Not another human swimming in their domains! It immediately darted through the icy cold waters after Kevin while shooting powerful blasts of water from its mouth through the water-filled homelands to try and smack the trainer…well anywhere it could. “YOU NEED TO LEAVE!” It roared angrily while the hail raged on atop the water’s surface. “We HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF YOUR KIND AROUND HERE! TAKE A HINT AND BOOK IT!” While Kevin searched underneath the rocks at the falls, the Remoraid would continue to try to pelt it. Should Oracle get in the way of its plans, it had to quarrels in fighting Kevin’s Pokemon and teaching them both a lesson. They didn’t belong here. Maybe they brought in this cold weather, too! Whatever the reason, the Remoraid wasn’t going to allow them to stay a second longer in its watery home! Shiny? SspYq3aw1-42 A Wild Remoraid appeared! Level 28. Decide what Kevin will do here. 1-42
