The day was perfect. Gorgeous sparkling waters stirring a calm white noise as the backdrop to the ideal beach vacation. The sand was pleasantly heated but not scorching; the sun bright but tempered with speckles of fluffy cloud floating across the rich blue sky; even wild pokémon were meandering about the shallow edges of the Secluded Beach, having become mildly accustomed to the new inhabitants. One of the designated fishers for the late morning sat beneath an only half-beaten patio umbrella salvaged from the wreckage. Chin resting on one hand as the other lazily gripped the rod, his rattata busily digging some hole nearby. The rodent had gotten through enough that only its tail was visible. There were a few of these holes around, one even recovered in a neat mound. What was being accomplished not even the trainer could really say. Burning up energy perhaps? The young pokemon trainer wished they could say the same of themselves, but instead a yawn hung in the air. It seemed like nothing was catching today even with the abundance of activity. There was a school of fish shimmering just over... "Huh, where'd they go?" Dull green eyes scanned the clear waters, having become very calm over the last few minutes. "Wait... is that... bubbling?" A tenseness gripped them. Even their rattata poked their head out to look curiously at their trainer. Just off shore, standing proudly on one of the protruding stones in the water, was something the trainer had never seen before. They weren't naive though, they had witnessed the previous excitements of the beach. This one didn't approach though. It was waiting. And it would wait until it had gathered enough attention.

Penelope was leaving from the fishing wreckage when she noticed Pokemon fleeing from an area. Did something strange happened again? She ran the opposite direction of where the wild Pokemon were running from. She was back at the beach again. This time, she arrived to see that other people weren't here yet. The weather was also not raining hard this time. In fact, she could feel the warm summer heat here. Hell, she was starting to sweat. She looked around to see what's the deal. There weren't damages in the surrounding area, so there wasn't any battles happened yet. She put a hand on her head to shield from the sun, and looked around as she turned her body left to right and then right to left. In the distance, she saw another four legged Pokemon that she don't usually see. This one had a crown on its head, but it certainly don't look like a bird. What was this one called? Penelope tossed out a Pokeball just to be safe, and summoned her Vivillon into the battle. "Horizon, use Light Screen!"The fluttering Pokemon appeared, and after her eyes glowed a prismatic color, she summoned an invisible barrier that was briefly visible for a second. ![](http://www.serebii.net/xy/pokemon/666-o.png) | Horizon | Lv "25" Used Light Screen!

The day was awesome, and hadn't Lei felt dirty and sweaty and stuck on this cursed island, she would have enjoyed it fully. The first part she could do something about at least and she went swimming in the clothes she had on, it was just as dirty and smelling like she was and it couldn't hurt. That the salt covered clothes probably would be a nuisance later on, she didn't think about. She broke through the surface and brushed her wet hair away from her face, and froze when she saw the huge pokemon waiting on a rock right in front of her. Her mouth fell open. Entei! She slowly lowered herself into the water so only her head was visible and carefully waded backwards away from it and towards the shore. When she felt she was at a safe distance, although you'd never know with a pokemon like this, she dare to stand up fully and look at the beach to see what other trainers who was gathering to face this one. She spotted a trainer with a vivillon and made a beeline for her. "Hi! Pretty vivillon," she said with a smile which widened when Horizon used its move, "that's great! Really useful!" she added and released her own pokemon, it was good pokeballs were waterproof. A stunky wearing what looked to be armor jumped down on the sand in front of her. "Time to even the ods even more, Acid Spray Minerva!" Lei ordered confidently and began to wring water out of her hair. Minerva stared at the entei in front of them, "again?!" She exclaimed and shook her head before she sent her acids at the huge fire dog. "What is it with those and appearing here all the time? What is it they want?" She complained to no one in particular. ![](https://i.postimg.cc/MGMRfhbZ/434-Halloween-Rhy.png) | Minerva | Lv *25* Used Acid spray!

Tristan had been idly minding his own business exploring the Secluded Beach when he happened to notice a set of trainers and their pokemon in battle against a pokemon that he had only ever heard about as whispers from folklore. Approaching the scene Tristan was initially in shock and awe, were his eyes deceiving him, was this the legendary pokemon known as Entei?! Tristan rubbed his eyes to make sure that this was real, it surely felt like he was living out a dream at this point.
One of the trainers motioned for Tristan to join in on the battle, it appeared as if bringing this legendary beast down was going to be an all hands on deck team effort. Tristan released Loki the Froakie from his pokeball but before he could even order an attack from his troublesome bubble frog pokemon, the quadrupedal frog leapt into action, literally. Loki released several clear bubbles from its mouth towards its opponent. Despite how tense the battlefield seemed to be as multiple trainer owned pokemon waged battle against the eminent dog like pokemon, Tristan couldn't help but keep things lighthearted, "This big boy is going to take some serious work, does anybody have a Magikarp handy, that'd really make a splash" ![](https://i.ibb.co/bP011xk/Froakie.png) | Loki | Lv "25" Used Bubble!

"Watch out!" Lei shouted to the other trainer and dived to avoid the fire which was sent at them. It was hard to tell what move it had been used since everything a pokemon like this used, were huge and devastating. Which became clear when the fire stopped burning and Lei looked up from where she had thrown herself on the sand. Minerva too had dived and avoided the attacks, but Horizon hadn't been so lucky and lay on the ground smoking. "It's sacrifice will be worth it," Lei said grimly as she got back on her feet and looked around worriedly, she doubted they could handle it just those two. Usually many more trainers stepped up to help, but this time the beach was empty and the trainers who were around chose to sit it out and watch. "I have a drampa who can renew the Light Screen if necessary," Lei informed and found another pokeball and let out a popplio in front of her. "Minerva, get back here!" She shouted and the Stunky looked back at her, hesitated a moment but then bounded over to her. "I am here to protect you, what do you need of me?" She asked Lei but got no answer, the stunky looked around to see if anyone else needed her help at the moment. Lei looked around and spotted some trainers watching, "Hey! If you have any pokemon we could use some help dealing with this one!" She shouted and was relieved when at least one other came over and chose to join them. She sent him a weird glance as he arrived. "A magikarp I don't have, but I think we need something better than that anyway," she said with a wry smile. ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/gen5/popplio.png) | Popplio | Lv *25* Switched in!

Marchbaby was still totally conked out from the battle with Suicune that he did not even notice Entei had appeared. He was fast asleep on a hammock made from a large tree leaf and tree branches when the sounds of the fiery tornado finally woke him up. " Oh you have got to be kidding me. I cannot believe another legendary Pokemon is attacking us." As he wiped his eyes he quickly made his way to the still functioning PC in order to make some changes to his party. Once he made a few changes he ran back towards the battle ready to challenge the legendary Pokemon. " Sorry I am late, it is good to see we have a Light Screen up, that should help a bunch. Since Entei had it's special defense lowered I think I have the perfect Pokemon to use." He then tossed an Ultra Ball on the ground revealing a gigantic Pokemon known as Wailord in front of him. The creature dwarfed everything around him as he floated in mid air waiting for permission to attack. Marchbaby gave everyone a moment to take in the shocking sight before he discussed his plan with everyone. " Odysseus meet the other survivors, we are going to help them fend off this Entei like we have a few other legendary Pokemon. Everyone Odysseus here can do pretty good damage with his water type moves but he has horrible defenses. If anyone can boost his defenses it will be a huge help."After he let the whale Pokemon settle in he gave the order to attack hoping the sight of such a large Pokemon would catch Entei off guard. " Odysseus let's start out with your Brine and then we can go from there. I want to see just how strong you are out of the gate before I start training you." He then watched as the whale Pokemon started to build up a large amount of salt water within it's body before taking aim at the fire type legendary. Once Odysseus had enough water stored up he fired as Marchbaby stared in amazement at the sight of such a large Pokemon unleashing a move. " I still cannot get over how big you are, I have seen plenty of dragon types in my life but none of them come close to you in size." Marchbaby then watched as the attack quickly closed the distance to Entei and he hoped Brine would score a direct hit. ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/gen5/wailord.png) | Odysseus | Lv 30 Used Brine! <Mystic Water>

Penelope heard a woman next to her shouted "WATCH OUT!" and ducked real fast, as the Entei summoned a fire tornado in her direction. The poor VIvillon was burnt and fallen to the ground, unconscious, even with the Light Screen supposedly blocking half the damage. After all, Horizon was part bug type and that wasn't helping. Penelope was sad for a bit, as she had not had her Pokemon fainted before. However, the words of the woman next to her was helpful to pick up her mood again. "Thank you. Yes, my Vivillon had a pretty scale pattern, just like the sunset! I'm sure she would be fluttering again once we finish this and let her rest up." She smiled and paused. "I am Penelope, by the way."She then started seeing other trainers joined in with their water Pokemon, which gave her an idea. Well, she did have her Azumarill, but she don't have to bring her out right away yet. "Yup, if we need Light Screen again, that Dream Paw might be helpful." She replied, unfamiliar with a new Pokemon's name. Then, someone sent out a GIANT Wailord. She almost woah'd out loud, but she was definitely looking at that direction. She dug her pockets for another Pokeball to toss. "Come on out, Potato! Start with a Sword Dance!" She hollered. The jolly Diggersbt chuckled when he saw the Wailord and then an Entei. He started dancing strangely and then looked more energetic as ever for a fight. ![](http://www.serebii.net/xy/pokemon/660.png) | Potato | Lv 28 Used Sword Dance! <Silk Scarf>

How were so many legendary Pokemon washing up onto the beach? Did they get lost and stranded in the middle of a hive mind?! The beige boy's rich brown eyes widened in fear and concern as he watched the gigantic dog appear and other trainers rushing to the fray. At least one of them Zaiden recognized, and didn't really like as much. Leilani seemed pretty pushy last time they spoke, which made it even harder for Zaiden to speak up for himself. Distancing himself away from her, the teenager began to walk around the battlefield to the edge of the other side, before he would be forced into the water itself. Zaiden pulled out a small red-and-white Pokeball and released his floundering white-and-orange fish, Kingyo, with the click of a button and raised his hands up to mimic rain itself. The fish popped out in a flash and landed in the cold lapping waves of the shoreline. Immediately, Kingyo hopped up so that it would appear as though he were standing on his tail fin. He began to shake and wiggle about, dancing in the gently rolling tides. The fish would dance with all of his might, trying to summon the skies to bring about thick dark clouds and impending torrential downpours unlike the world would have ever seen before. Hopefully, the fish's work would be well worth it, and Kingyo would manage to summon the rainstorm of his dreams with his powerful fins and dancing rhythms. ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/gen5/goldeen.png) | Kingyo | Lv "25" Used Rain Dance!

After what felt like an eternity, stuck on this island with all kinds of other trainers and Pokemon, Shinya was beginning to get annoyed. Even more so than usual. Some of the other trainers were really getting on the Team Skull grunt's nerves, especially a young man by the name of Zaiden. Finally, it had gotten to the point when Shinya felt like he needed to clean himself just to wash away the memories, metaphorically speaking. That, and being stuck on a secluded island with no bath or shower had left Shinya more than a little filthy. Fortunately, his ninja friend, Venom, had located a place on the island they could use to clean themselves when the need arose. It wasn't anything fancy, just a smaller waterfall not far from Paradise Falls, but it got the job done. Every once in a while, Shinya and Venom would make their way to their secret spot and use the waterfall like a shower to wash themselves, as well as the clothes on their backs. And as Shinya stood under the cold, but very refreshing water, he decided to take stock. "I can't believe we're still stuck here. Has seriously no one noticed the missin' cruise ship and sent out a search party by now? Rgh! How useless can ya get?" The Bug type trainer cursed under his breath after that, wondering how much longer it would be until help finally arrived. However, his frustrations didn't last too much longer, as he continued talking to himself in a more relaxed tone of voice a few minutes later. "Whatever. At least this whole mess wasn't a total loss. Dwebble, Joltik, Shelmet, and Wimpod. Not too shabby I'd say." Shinya remarked with a grin on his face, thinking about the four new Pokemon he added to his team since arriving on this island. He traded away some Pokemon he caught to Lei in exchange for his Joltik and Shelmet, he found his Dwebble in the wild, and he bought his Wimpod from another female trainer by the name of Penelope. Needless to say, Shinya was extremely pleased with the way things had been turning out for him. Not only that, but both he and Venom got to battle some legendary Pokemon too. Sure, there were other trainers around, but how many trainers in the world could honestly say that they fought against a legendary Pokemon of all things? "First Lugia, and then Suicune. Who's next? Raikou? Or maybe even Ho-Oh?" The Team Skull grunt's grin got even bigger at the thought of getting to battle the Rainbow Pokemon itself, as he finished washing himself and left the waterfall. Both he and his clothes were soaking wet, but he was fairly used to it, as it was usually raining back in his hometown anyway. Still, spending some time on the beach, under the hot sun to dry off couldn't hurt. So, after leaving his and Venom's secret spot, Shinya randomly chose a direction, then headed for the beach. Since it was an island, there was basically a beach in every direction, so it didn't really matter which way he went. However, as the Alolan trainer made his way to the ocean, he suddenly stopped and looked up at the sky with a puzzled look on his face, noticing some dark rain clouds hanging over a single stretch of the coastline. This was a clear sign that some Pokemon was using Rain Dance, but who? And for that matter, why? Seconds later, Shinya heard what could only be described as a massive battle taking place directly under the rain clouds. Whatever was going on over there, Shinya had to see it for himself. "An island rumble and I wasn't invited? Not cool." After one more quick remark, Shinya ran towards the shore as fast as his soaked legs could carry him. Upon arrival, Shinya came to a complete stop, very surprised by some of the things he saw. Naturally, the first thing he noticed was the beached Wailord, since it was extremely hard to miss and all. "Wait a minute, somebody here had a Wailord this whole time?! Why haven't we used it to leave this place already?!" The Bug type trainer asked out loud, his frustration level rising steadily once again. Fortunately, that frustration level went right back down and was replaced with an extremely high level of excitement as soon as he saw what all the other trainers were battling against. "Entei?! Oh, heck yeah! Time to make this two for two!" Getting to battle another legendary Pokemon had gotten Shinya all kinds of excited, as his grin returned with a vengeance, and he immediately reached for a poke ball from his bag. "I don't know what the heck is up with this island, but I'm definitely not complainin'! I think I'm startin' to see a pattern here! Does this mean that Raikou is gonna show up in the near future too?! I sure hope so!"
The Team Skull grunt's mind was racing with all kinds of legendary possibilities for the future, but for the time being, he focused on the legend that was right in front of him, tossing his poke ball of choice up into the air. "Let's destroy another legend, Wimpod!" The poke ball burst open, and the Turn Tail Pokemon appeared right in the middle of the battlefield. Needless to say, he was immediately terrified by the things he saw, and was quick to turn tail and run away as fast as he could, hiding behind his trainer's legs for safety. "WIMP! Wimp! Wimp! Wimp! Pod! Pod! Pod!" The Bug/Water type shivered with fear, wanting absolutely nothing to do with such a large battle, especially when it was against the Volcano Pokemon itself. Of course, Shinya wasn't having any of that, losing his grin, taking on a firmer tone of voice, and pushing Wimpod back out in front of him and towards the battle with his right foot. "I understand that it's in your nature, Wimpod, but don't be such a coward. Just crawl over to Entei, and throw some sand into its eyes with your Sand Attack. Do it, then I'll switch ya out with someone else. Ya got it?" While it was true that Shinya despised cowardice, especially from his own Pokemon, he was significantly more patient with Wimpod. True, cowardice was kind of Wimpod's whole deal, but Shinya knew better than anyone that it would all be worth it and more once his Wimpod finally evolved into Golisopod. The partner Pokemon of his big bro, Guzma. Despite his obvious level of fear, Wimpod simply couldn't refuse a command from his trainer. Even if Shinya wasn't his original trainer. Plus, the Turn Tail Pokemon could tell that the Alolan trainer was serious. And if he was being honest, he too really wanted to evolve so that he could get stronger and finally stop acting so scared all the time. "Wimp...Wimpod! Wimp! Wimp!" Gathering what little courage he had, Wimpod faced his opponent, jumped into the ocean, and swam towards the legendary Pokemon as quickly as he could. Once he reached the rock that Entei stood on, he scooped up some sand from the ocean floor, jumped out of the water, and threw a ball of wet sand directly into the Fire type's face. ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/gen5/wimpod.png)

Lei began to try brush off some of all the sand which was now stuck to her front, her clothes were wet after all after her dip in the ocean, but it wasn't very effective so she gave up on it again. "I'm Lei," she presented herself quickly as she eyed the area and was pleased to see other trainers arrive, "now something is happening!"She looked confused at Penelope for a moment and opened her mouth to ask about what Dream Paw was, when a wailord was called to scene and Lei took several steps back as she thought it was a bit too close to comfort. She had seen them plenty of times before, but usually out in the ocean around the islands. "Woo! Now we have a fighting chance! He has some of the toughest pokemon I have seen on the island," Lei told Penelope excitedly and then paused, "I don't even know what he's called," she added thoughtfully and made a mental note about getting it. Perhaps it could be useful for her later. The rain began to fall and people gathered to face the entei, "people are really helping each other now, perhaps they are learning," she grinned and pushed down the little voice who asked if the others had met an made a plan without her? She glanced at Shinya when he ask out loud why they hadn't used the wailord to leave the island yet and she narrowed her eyes. That was a good question and her eyes traveled to the ocean beyond, perhaps there were something out there which kept them there too? Her attention was pulled back to the beach and the battle when it picked up speed and she glanced down at her popplio who was just watching. "You have a lot to live up to," she said dryly to it, and it glanced back at her with sorrowfull eyes to see her gesture to all the other pokemon around them, "Water Gun, and make it count!""Why? It makes no difference at all," the popplio said gloomily but sent one at the fire legendary anyway. ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/gen5/popplio.png) | Popplio | Lv *25* Used Water Gun!

"Ooohh..." Penelope replied to Lei, about the trainer with toughest Pokemon. "So that's a Wailord?" She wasn't going to mention the unfamiliar Pokemon's name, maybe when she see it. "Maybe we should ask for his name?" She suggested. Soon, other trainers joined in the fray, and this area was getting crowded, for a good cause. She saw more blue Pokemon in the area, a Goldeen dancing for some rain, and then not blue colored Pokemon. Usually water types were blue, but not all of them were. When the Rain started pouring, it didn't take long for the Entei to dislike it, after all, it was a fire type. The fire canine tried to bite the Goldeen, but missed. She sighed a bit as her rain coat was dried recently from the battle with Suicune, but it looked like she'll need it again. She hurriedly put it on. When she was done, she returned to the battle and made a move. "Let's try a Double Kick, Potato!" Penelope hollered and punched the air excitedly, but then stopped when the movement made the rain got into her eyes. ![](http://www.serebii.net/xy/pokemon/660.png) | Potato | Lv 28 Used Double Kick! <Silk Scarf>

Much like Lei, Shinya's clothes were soaking wet and quickly became covered in sand as well. However, the Team Skull grunt didn't really seem to notice or care, since his attention was mainly focused on the legendary Pokemon at this particular moment in time. Besides, the rain was more than enough to wash away the sand anyway. Shinya wasn't all that surprised when Entei managed to land a hit on Marchbaby's Wailord even after taking a face full of Wimpod's Sand Attack, since the Float Whale Pokemon was an extremely large target and all. Still, Shinya and Wimpod's efforts weren't in vain, as Entei failed to land a hit on the Goldeen by the name of Kingyo. Of course, Shinya wasn't too happy about the fact that he basically just helped Zaiden out, letting out a single huff before turning back towards his Wimpod. With the task he was given complete, Wimpod dashed over the seafloor, and then onto the beach as quickly as he could, returning to his trainer's side. "Pod. Wimpod. Wimpod?" The Turn Tail Pokemon continued to shiver in fear, asking his trainer if he could go back to his poke ball now. Looking down at his cowardly Pokemon, Shinya let out a sigh, calling said Pokemon back to his red and white orb for the time being. "Fine, but I might call on ya again later, Wimpod." The Bug type trainer gave his Pokemon fair warning, then put his poke ball back into his back, and withdrew a new one from said bag. "Ya know what? Let's throw a little more mud into this legend's eyes. Ya can never be too careful. And ya can never throw too much mud either."Shinya smirked and chuckled to himself, deciding that it was better to be safe than sorry. Mainly because his Pokemon were all Bug types and Entei was a Fire type. Regardless, if anyone thought that was gonna make the Team Skull grunt turn tail and run away himself, they'd be wrong. Dead wrong. And Shinya was more than happy to prove it, tossing his second poke ball up into the air and calling out his next Pokemon of choice. "Nincada, take over!" Nincada emerged from his Sport Ball and immediately felt uncomfortable, mainly because of the rain. As a Bug/Ground type, a watery battlefield of any kind of definitely not a good match for the Trainee Pokemon. However, since their opponent was a legendary Fire type Pokemon, Nincada would soon be thanking his lucky stars for the downpour. ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/gen5/nincada.png)

After a rather impressive first showing Marchbaby was quite proud of Odysseus even if his poor defenses led to him taking a ton of damage from Entei's retaliatory strike. Odysseus had not gotten any defensive boosts from anyone though Marchbaby doubted it would have made a huge difference as Wailord were not known for their ability to endure hits at all. " Great work Odysseus, that was a big hit you took but I am glad you were able to stay in the fight. I wonder what move we can try next?" He then paused as he looked at all the other trainers around them hoping to pull off another combo. Having heard Shinya yell out about a Wailord Marchbaby felt compelled to answer as his Wailord knew the right move to clear the waters off the beach of the swirling Whirlpools however he lacked the right badge for Odysseus to obey him outside of battle. " I wish Odysseus here could get us off the island but I do not have enough badges for him to be able to use Whirlpool outside of battle. If it makes you feel any better though it is not the only potentially useful move he knows that is currently useless outside of battle." Getting back to his original plan of looking around it was clear that this round was becoming a hyper offensive one. With all of the current trainers this round using offensive moves however there was not much of a chance for a combo. To make up for that fact however Odysseus had a bit of a trick up his sleeve as he could make use of the nearby ocean to strike Entei while being safe from an attack while he awaited the right moment to strike. " It looks like everyone else is trying to do damage so we might as well do the same. Odysseus dive under the waves and strike Entei when the moment is right." As Odysseus floated towards the ocean Marchbaby watched in amazement as the whale Pokemon caused a gigantic splash as he entered the water. As Entei was on the beach it would be hard for Odysseus to strike but Marchbaby hoped someone would draw Entei towards the ocean to make it easier. " If anyone can trick Entei into getting close to the ocean Odysseus should be able to get an opening to strike." He said hoping one of the other trainers would assist. ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/gen5/wailord.png) | Odysseus | Lv 30 Used Dive! <Mystic Water>
