"Oh! My name's Penelope!" She replied, turning toward the other human who spotted her. When she looked for the bright light again, it changed position.

When she got a closer look, the curly haired and brown skinned trainer was next to a weird looking Grimer. The picnicker looked down and was puzzled for a bit. That's a new Pokemon she hadn't seen for sure. There's also this gremlin looking pink Pokemon. She looked back up and addressed herself, "It was getting foggy out in the beach, so I thought I'll make my way back to the shipwreck. At least it's insulated somewhat, you know?" And then she got a little lost.

However, their meet and greet were soon interrupted by a duo of fish. The Finneon blew a gust of wind from its fins alone, meanwhile the Goldeen was moving quicky in the water.

"The fish here are so energetic..." She commented. "Horizon, use Psybeam on the Finneon!" She hollered her order.

She pondered about the faint light in the distance. If she's caught in a wild Pokemon battle now, maybe she should send her other Pokemon to go take a look.

Mishu relaxed when the sound of a human voice greeted her. Somehow this voice sounded familiar. The blue-haired umber trainer paused with her hand pressed to the bottom of her chin thoughtfully. Had she heard the voice on the cruise ship, perhaps, before they managed to make their most unbearable landing on this forsaken island? Or was it in the heat of that momentous battle against the large Lugia from some time ago? She could have even dreamt that she’d met whoever this mysterious ‘Penelope’ was during one of her feverish nightmare-like dreams she’d spent tossing and turning inside of her makeshift tent in the middle of the night. “Nice to meet you, Penelope! Have you heard word back from the captain when we’re going home yet?”

Mishu had all but given up on going back to the promised mainland of Johto. She’d half-considered contrasting a mailbox and a wooden shed where she could stake a claim for herself and any others who might need a bit more room than one single beach hut somewhere on this large island could provide. Was it such a terrible endeavor to make the best of what life had given her? In the moment’s wake, Mishu immediately cursed that gigantic orange dragon who had insisted she take its invitation and had personally flown her to the cruise ship itself. Did it know that all of the passengers aboard would eventually get lost and stranded on a seclusive island, with little hope of ever seeing their loved ones again?

Mishu pressed ever closer so that she could make out more details of the Pinicker through the billowing fog that swirled around them. Was it kicked up by the luxurious wings of the beautiful Vivillon Penelope had fluttering near her on this autumn day? Or was it simply a breeze that billowed across the land, as was typical on such somber autumn days whose touches seemed halfway between summer and winter itself? “I’m afraid it’s still pretty foggy here.” Mishu laughed. She shivered to think that they wouldn’t find the mainlands before the snowy winters arrived, leaving all the passengers to scramble for shelter.

“I’m sorry…” Mishu half-laughed nervously, trying to find the ‘proper’ words to use to ask someone if they’d met before. “Your voice sounds familiar…did we meet on the cruise ship before the crash?” And if Penelope would answer her and inform her that they did not, she would inevitably have to follow up with more questions to try and pinpoint where she might have heard Penelope’s voice before. “Were you in that big fight against the Lugia, perhaps? That huge white bird from the sea?” Though, if both proved to be false memories, Mishu would drop the case altogether, turning to the large ocean as her Pokemon seemed to engage in a battle with some wild fish.

“You know, you’re right. Suraimu use Assurance on Goldeen!” Mishu instructed as she considered just what Penelope had said. She ran into a Seaking that had the energy and strength to knock her back onshore when she tried to swim around in the lake. Then, Yōsei crossed paths with a vibrant goldfish who swam around the entire lake (almost) with him, playing some sort of strange game with each other. Yōsei was always full of energy, and naturally caused a lot of mischief when he wasn’t being kept close watch of. It was nice to see her Pokemon enjoying himself with a like-minded creature, even if that time had come and gone like the previous seasons like summer and spring. “Perhaps this place gives them a natural paradise where they can relax and not fear very many predators? Have you seen many of them around yourself?”

The two fish hi-finned each other under water, that had been a brilliant display and the ones on the shore would surely have been amazed and awed and be ready to applaud them for their elegance and flashy display! They popped their heads over water and their expectantly expressions were quickly replaced with confused frowns. It looked like they hadn't seen it at all! Their amazing jumps and show they had done just for them, and then they hadn't paid any attention at all?!
The finneon slapped the surface with a fin and threw its head annoyed, "that can't be true! All that wasted just because they don't know how to enjoy beauty and open their eyes for what is going on around them!"
It swam around itself in distress, "what are we going to do? The first surprise has been destroyed and we need to make sure they really sees us for when we try again, otherwise it will all be destroyed and they won't see how amazing we are!" It said and then paused to looked around for its friend, as it has expected the other to come with its thoughts and together they could have found a solution.
The finneon gasped when it saw its goldeen friend shoot through the water like a torpedo, eyes glued to the brilliant vivillon who flapped around near the shore and actually looked out into the water.
"Wait! What are you doing?" The finneon called after the other fish.

The goldeen was furious, how dared they! They had set all this up to amaze them and bring them some joy, and then they ignored them! It was probably that wannabe pretty butterfly's fault, she draw all attention to her just because she was jealous! The golden fish leaped up from the water and charged at Horizon with its horn, sending her flapping backwards, the fish turned in the air and elegantly plopped back into the water. The goldeen appeared a moment later glaring at Horizon, "Move! It's our time to shine!"
"What are you doing?!" The finneon called as it rushed over and Horizon followed her orders, and perhaps even though the other fish was also on the path to attack her, and sent a beam of shimmering light which smacked the blue fish underwater with a splash. It leaped out of the water a moment later, made an elegant pose and then sent a just as flashy orb of water the other way, which hammered into Horizon.
Suraimu wasn't going to let his temporary partner get all the fun, and he rushed over to slap the golden fish over its cheek. It gasped offended and put a fin to the reddening spot, "what did you do that for?!" It exclaimed and then got a look of disgust as it slowly pulled the fin from its skin and goo was hanging and sticking to it. "Ew! Ew! Ew! What did you do?! Get it off!" It screeched and quickly dived to try rub it off to sandy bottom.

"The captain? No. But I've heard they found some new sauces in the pantry to pair with the Magikarp whiskers," Penelope replied to the trainer. While she wanted to go back home to mainland Johto, her priority right now was to seek warmth. When the other party pressed further if they've met before, she slowly replied while she jogged her own memory. "The cruise? What cruise? I was in Ilex Forest one day and then a flash of light brought me here. Must be some Pokemon teleportation." She replied without pausing. "Lugia? Oh yeah, I fought off one or two of them." Her memory equally hazy as the fog.

"If you mean the Pokemon in this area, yeah, I've fought off a Remoreid here. Their Aurora Beam can hit hard." She replied as she recounted her recent experience.

Horizon noticed the Finneon swam around like it was distressed and panicking, but not before being attacked by the Goldeen's horns and the Finneon blasting her with a whirling pulse of water. The Vivillon was a little mad. "Can't you read the room? It's foggy out here and you want to shine?! You better use a shinier move than that vomit backwash!" She usually play along with the others, but this time, she was agitated that they're both targeting her, when she also had a battle partner right there.

"If you look closely, there's two of us!" The bug type stood up for herself, and blasted another Psybeam at the Finneon. She watched them closely as her eyes began glowing in iridescent colors.

Mishu wasn’t very familiar with Magikarp, though she knew that Pokemon well enough. She’d seen them splashing about in the rivers and lakes whose currents weren’t too treacherous for the brave little fishes to swim around in. Though they looked pretty weak overall, and their bodies looked thin compared to their overall mass, she had to wonder why their whiskers were being cooked for consumption. “Are they filleting the whole fish?” The blue-haired educator asked curiously with a soft hum. “Or only the whiskers? I like spicy, savory sauces myself. What do you prefer?” It seemed odd…carrying on a conversation about food while their Pokemon battled…but no stranger than the entire time they’d spent on the island, overall.

“Well…our Lugia was considered to be a baby. So…that must mean mom’s around somewhere…” Mishu pictured the different Pokemon she’d seen during that monumental fight and couldn’t recall which one Penelope might have used in that battle. Perhaps she’d only seen her in glimpses around the island – such as the occurrence may be when several thousands of people were all stranded together, with barely any real connection to each other. “There was this really strong trainer with a…Magnezone, I believe it was. And a brunette with a large, fluffy-looking dragon…” Those were the most noticeable in the midst of the fray for all the extra work they put into the fight. Would Penelope recall any of them, perhaps?

“Suraimu keep using Assurance!” Mishu called out to her Pokemon, placing her hands around her mouth in a makeshift microphone. “Horizon, you’re doing great as well!” She tried to encourage Penelope’s small and very elegant looking butterfly. Suraimu smiled as he stretched himself up tall and thin, like a piece of paper floating in the wind. “Hey guys, I’m sorry! Can you try that again? I didn’t mean to ignore you! You’re both beautiful in your own ways. Please? Show me once more?!” Suraimu called to them, trying to get the attention of at least one of the fish and to hopefully calm their emotions down some.

He shrank a bit as Goldeen yelled and tried to clean the muck he’d left behind off. “I just want to make friends. We’re all getting just a bit…heated here, aren’t we? We can have fun! We don’t have to be so angry whether we battle or play…do we?” Suraimu would try to tap Goldeen on its back as though it were patting the elegant looking fish for reassurance. He couldn’t help that the thick gunk his body was made up of would drip all over the place, landing with splashes on the surface of Goldeen’s and Finneon’s watery homes. “Don’t be jealous of my partner.” Suraimu nodded towards Horizon. “You can both be beautiful in the same space!” He insisted.

“What an odd way to appear here…” Mishu hummed to herself. Was it Dragonite’s doing, as well? She’d never known many Dragonite to know how to teleport others to new locations. An Abra or Kadabra made more sense and weren’t too rare to find closer to Goldenrod. But would one have wandered all the way into Ilex Forest? Then, too, there were legends told of the forest guardian that few had ever seen deep inside of Ilex’s depths. Perhaps that was the Pokemon that transported Penelope here? “A Dragonite gave me an invitation to the cruise. When I refused it at first…it personally flew me out to the ship itself…” She sighed with a shake of her head. “My Suraimu knows Sludge Wave, which would be great if it didn’t put your Horizon at risk. So I guess it’s just whittling them down as much as we can?” Mishu laughed at the thought that sometimes her Pokemon’s best moves were also their worst moves in the heat of some battles.

"We don't want to shine, we DO shine!" Finneon began declaring before Horizon finished her sentence and they both gasped horrified when they heard her last comment.
"Vomit?! How dare you! Its pure water from the lake you barbaric *****!" Goldeen exclaimed and if Horizon hadn't had their full attention before, she certainly did now. "I'll show you!" It declared and then sent a shining bubble of water which splashed all over the vivillon. Horizon was completely focused on the finneon who was building up speed and formed a glowing orb of psychic energy in front of her, but something went wrong. Instead of sending a bright beam at the fish and knocking it down into the water again, it exploded in her face and threw her to the ground.
Finneon was quick to follow it up and once again leaped high into the air, making the fog swirl around it in pretty patterns and slapped its fin together, creating a wave in the air which slammed into the downed Horizon.

Goldeen nodded pleased as the finneon landed back in the water with almost no splash. Suraimu had to give it another slap on the chin to get its attention. The golden fish looked offended at Suraimu but did listen to he had to say.
"Say that to your friend! It's her who's just trying to offend us, get her to apologize and sit down and watch our show!" Goldeen demanded and glared challenging at Suraimu. "We're the prettiest around here and we tried to make you all happy and share our beauty with you, and in return you ignore us, attack us and even call us vormit!" It exclaimed offended and made an agitated sob, which was mostly to express how awful that had been.
Finneon came over, "what are you doing?" It asked its friend while sending the grimer an suspicious look.
"He claims they just want to be friends, I have told him they should apologize and sit down and watch!" Goldeen declared with its nose in the sky.
"Sounds good, but I'd say it should be a good apology for me to want to give them a show now!" Finneon retorted and looked expectantly at the grimer.

"It's still vomit after your mouth gone through it. If you're slapping your tail and splashing it, then yeah, your mouth haven't touch it!" The bug replied back to them, standing on her statement. She wasn't going to apologize just yet. Even though she was confused from the Water Pulse, and turning a wrong direction when talking to the Finneon, her voice was loud enough to annoy said fish. Penelope noticed her Pokemon was disoriented when the Psybeam stopped midway and the Pokemon hit herself.

"Horizon, come here!" The young trainer called out, and the flustered bug type managed to get close to her. She dug out a Soda Pop and cracked it open. The bottle fizzed audibly as the area did not have much background noise. Penelope was surprise that it fizzed in this weather. "Take a drink of this, and maybe the fizz will wake you up!" The bug grabbed the bottle and drank it all down.

"Hm... I do remember someone with a Magnezone. What was the fluffy dragon Pokemon again?" She asked her current partner, as she cannot seem to remember. Heck, did she even learn the name or species of such Pokemon?

Suraimu shrank away from the colorful blue fish when Finneon spoke back to him. Why was this fish having such a huge hissy fit over what could have easily been a misunderstanding between all of the Pokemon? The Alolan Grimer pressed himself against the ground as though he were nothing more than a puddle of slime and stared up at the open skies above, noting the puffy white clouds that covered the usually blue ‘heavenly seas’. Even the sun seemed to struggle through the foggy atmosphere, though a few of its rays pushed their way through. They were muted in their usual strength and depth. “Well…with a fog…how can we be sure you shine?” Suraimu squeaked out, pressing his head up from the puddle that was himself, to try and sneak a glance at the angry little fish.

“Horizon is having a hard time in this battle…huh?” Mishu asked curiously enough, giving Horizon a once over. It couldn’t help that the two wild Pokemon seemed strangely drawn to the fluttering butterfly. “Suraimu, try to distraction them while Horizon gets a quick drink, will you?” Mishu cupped her hands around her mouth and shouted at her Pokemon. Suraimu lifted himself up and reformed himself into his usual body. He turned to Mishu while pressing one hand against his ‘chin’ and tilting his head thoughtfully at his trainer. What did she mean, distract the other Pokemon? They didn’t seem to like him all that much! So…why would he keep bothering them so? Ugh! “Use Assurance again!” She added on.

Mishu scratched the back of her neck and tried to think long and hard about the fluffy dragon she’d seen before. What was it called? Dragomir or something like that? Although part of it felt right, most of that name felt completely off. It sounded more like a nickname you might have given a Pokemon, than an actual name of a Pokemon species. “Well…definitely wasn’t a Dragonite…and I wanna say Dragomir, but that doesn’t even sound like a Pokemon…hmm…” She hummed thoughtfully and glanced around through the fog at the tall silhouettes that cast long, dark tree-like shadows in the distance. “It’s almost like a dragon grandpa, when you think about it. Like a Drandpa?” That felt close…unbelievably close…but not quite right, either.

Suraimu stretched himself up long and tall and waved towards the two fish as he whistled on the top of his lungs. He needed to keep them preoccupied, but how? “My friend? I think she’s suffering from a head injury.” Suraimu said with a half-hearted smile as he glanced over at Horizon, then back at the fish in the lake. He laughed at his little joke and gestured towards the Goldeen personally. “One too many hits to the head by you and your friend, I suspect. Guess you’re just terrified of what I can do huh?” He reached out and tried to slam the colorful Goldeen with his hands once more.

The two fish stared offended at Horizon, then the goldeen huffed and turned its head away in disgust, "shows how little you know! Uncultured swine. Trying to show you some beauty and this is is how you repay us?" It turned to its blue friend, "why are we even staying? Why are we arguing? Shouldn't we just leave? There is no reason to waste our beauty and skill on them if they don't want to enjoy it," it said in a kind voice, the finneon looked torn.
"Perhaps you are right, I had just hoped we had finally found someone who'd really enjoy it since they hadn't seen any of it before," the finneon said hesitantly and the goldeen gave its friend a gentle nudge.

They would probably have left if not Suraimu had called out to them and they looked at him reluctantly, they did not laugh of his joke. The goldeen glared and shot through the water and impaled the grimer with its horn, "we did not do that! We're not savages, you just don't know how to handle beauty! She's just crazy!"
"Get away from him?! What are you doing?!" The finneon called out horrified, "that's not elegant at all, and you get slime all over you!" It sent a water orb flying at them, also dropped the show in favor of speed, it slammed into Suraimu and pushed him off the goldeen's horn. He swung his arms wildly at it but only managed to hit himself.
Horizon could sit back and enjoy the show as she was chucking down her drink and got a short well deserved rest.

"Yeah, they seem to be targeting her for some reason." Penelope muttered, not sure why her Pokemon kept on being targeted. Thankfully though, as she had watched the next round played out, the two fish shifted their attention toward the Grimer. She gulped down in relief as her Vivillon survived a round. Even with Light Screen, the opponents were kind of tough. When her bug was done chugging the Soda Pop, Peenelope got it from her and put it away, so as to not leave trash in the wilderness.

"Uh... maybe if we see her in the shipwreck, we can ask her the name of that Pokemon." She sounded like she would scratch her head, as she was puzzled on the mystery new Pokemon's name.

"Ugh, my head is stuffy and hurting. WELL, this makes two of us." The bug complained. "How did that Pokemon confuse us before my Psybeam confuse them? That is like, unfair!." And more.

"If you're looking for an audience, we're the wrong crowd. My human is only interested in hiking and stuff, not splashy water." She managed to sound out during her headache episode. "Have you never heard of the phrase beauty is in the eyes of the beholder? Not everyone understands your art, you know?"

"Now I definitely can't appreciate your art with my headache. Your audience now cannot focus!" The bug type fought back, and fired her own Psybeam at the Finneon.

Mishu wrapped a strand of her long blue hair in her fingers nervously as she twirled the ends. The battle didn’t look too good overall. Horizon was struggling against the fish in the heat of the battle. Suraimu didn’t look that well off himself, considering the worst of the assaults that he’d taken in battle. There wasn’t much that Mishu would do with either fish, so she hadn’t considered collecting either of them for her personal journey. Though watching them tussle about in the dense fog, the blue-haired educator worried and wondered if she should capture one of them to save the Pokemon the worst of their assaults. Was it a better alternative to their endless battling that would see to the trainers each chasing some type of medicine from their pouches to ensure that their Pokemon managed to cling on to the end? It was difficult to truly determine.

“Suraimu try to focus through. Take your time and focus on your opponent. Only when you’re sure, take aim and hit it with another Assurance!” The toxic green Pokemon stretched himself up high through the dense fog and shrugged his entire body this way and that. What was going on all around them?! He gulped, shrunk back down in the blink of an eye, then shot back up as though he wasn’t quite sure what form he wanted to take. When Suraimu turned to the brightly colored butterfly he saw something quite peculiar replace his newfound friend. “Ah! My head is spinning…” The Alolan Grimer grumbled and gulped. Then chuckled, “Did you always have six wings? And four antenna?” And why were there suddenly two Horizon? Now one…now one split halfway down her body into two like Siamese twins? Huh?

Mishu nodded her head in Penelope’s direction. Surely asking the owner of the strange looking dragon would be the quickest way to solve the mystery. “You think she’s a dragon tamer?” Mishu was definitely fond of her Dark Type Pokemon. It was evident in the fact that no one else joined her team that simply wasn’t a Dark Type. The ebony-umber trainer tapped the side of her face with one finger with a hum and a twinkle in her eye. “If she is…maybe she has stronger dragons that can carry us on their backs off this island…do you think?” Though, it seemed that as soon as the fish turned their attention to Suraimu then her Pokemon would be the one floundering at the deep end of the wading pool. This wouldn’t help them in the long term of events…oh dear.

Although the Goldeen insisted that they weren’t savages, Suraimu might have begged to differ. Especially when it impaled him on its horn. It gasped loudly with a terrible shriek that caused Mishu to cover her ears and shake her head. “Ah, Suraimu, stay strong! You’ve got this, buddy! I’m right here, ok?” Suraimu grunted and shaped the toxic sludge that was normally his hands into a strange looking ‘thumbs up’. He hurt all over and couldn’t be as sure as he tried to reassure his trainer. But he would do everything in his power to remain in the fight to the bitter end. He just had to hope that it wasn’t too close behind him… “You sure do act like savages…that hurt!” Suraimu pointed out rather bluntly.

“It is unfair! Maybe you’ll confuse them this time!” Suraimu cheered on his battling companion. He would then chase after the Goldeen by stretching himself out far over the top of the water, wavering slowly like a wood stork stalking its prey. When Suraimu was pretty sure that he was staring at the Goldeen and not an illusion caused by his own confusion, he would smack his hands down repeatedly to try and jostle the other Pokemon. “Maybe I can take one of them out, so we can focus on just that really mean one!” Suraimu giggled enthusiastically.

"You certainly have no knowledge of art, we can agree on that!" one of the fishes said to Horizon, but to the two confused land based pokemon it was hard to figure out who. It wasn't really important though, was it? They were both equally annoying and stuck-up.
"If you weren't interested you could just have said so instead of attacking and calling us names!" One of them said offended and a huff was heard, "you are no audience, you aren't watching anything so no need for you to focus."

Goldeen looked surprised when Suraimu shrieked and managed to force out through the pain that the attack of the horn had hurt.
"Really? Aren't you just a pile of glob? Can you feel anything?" the golden fish asked perplexed, "or of course I expected you to feel something, but not much." It withdrew its horn and looked puzzled at the grimer, although there were no remorse.
"Are you sure you are really feeling anything? Isn't it just something you think since you have been told it hurts? I mean, with how drippy and gooey you are, you could drop an arm without feeling it, right?" Its attempt to confuse Suraimu didn't work very well, mostly since he was already confused.

"I wonder if the main problem perhaps is that fog," The finneon said thoughtfully, "it really takes away all the shine from us and shields us in blur." It nodded to itself confidently and started a beautiful dance which slowly made the clouds rise above and become more dense, and soon the first few raindrops began to fall.
"Much better," it said pleased.

Suraimu stretched, high and higher and then smack his hands down hard, only to winch when it became clear he had found and attacked his own back. How he had been able to mistake his own green-ish body for goldeen's golden was a question which only the confusion would be able to answer.

Penelope chuckled at the other trainer's idea, "If she did, she would have fly away herself already, instead of being stuck on this island with us." If she had a strong dragon type Pokemon, she certainly would not waste time lingering on this boring island. "Hopefully we'll be rescue soon. People have to notice if some of us aren't like responding to calls, right?" She whined sadly, hoping that the end of this marooned trainer with Pokemon who can't swim or fly long distance would be resolved.

"I might not be interested, but I know better that performing in the middle of a fog would be an useless attempt!" The bug hollered back. "If I had told you earlier I wasn't interested, would you still be listening?" Just as she had finished speaking, it seemed the Finneon got a clue and cleared away the fog with a Rain Dance. The sky seemed to gather clouds in their area, and then began pouring purifying rain to remove the nasty fog.

However, Horizon was suspicious about this. She vaguely remember her Azumarill friend becoming more powerful in the rain instead, and if those fish could get a boost in the rain, that might be a bad idea for them. "WELL, at least you heard my advice and clear up that fog. Now I can see better." She then added cleverly, "I hope you'll remember about the fog next time."

"Let's test out this again..." She hummed and put up a Light Screen, which should have shimmer better under the rain instead of the fog.

OOC:
Light screen should have ended last round, right?
If so, Light Screen up again.

Dark Type Trainer •
Education / Science

Suraimu couldn’t quite catch a break. The world spun around him in a hue of colors. Lots of greens and browns splashed against the backdrop, though the glimmering effects of whites and golds seemed to sparkle like flashlights shining into a dark cave. He tried his best to focus, slamming his body everywhere the golden flecks sparkled the brightest, though he only bounced about awkwardly. Then something strange shook his entire body just as he smacked his hardest against the golden and white hues that darted all around his strange form. “Yeeeeaaaaa-oowwcchh! That really hurt you know!” Suraimu giggled, making it hard to tell if he was being serious or facetious.

Mishu frowned and sighed heavily. Penelope made a lot of sense. Who would have stayed on the island stuck with all the other lost passengers as long as they had been lost as sea, if they could have simply flown or swum away by now? That must surely mean that there wasn’t a way for anyone on the island to escape. “You have a point.” She nodded her head firmly and blinked perplexed as the rains began to fall from the heavens above. Thick cumulonimbus clouds swelled up inside of the bright blue skies, blocking out most of their hues to replace it with drab and dreary greys instead. Though the fog slowly faded away, making the world clearer for them both, it wasn’t as much of an improvement as the Dark Type trainer was hoping for.

“I would have flown away by now. Still…no one having already used bird Pokemon to at least send word back to the mainland?” Seemed strange. Well…she did have her very own bird Pokemon and she hadn’t even thought to send Karasu on such a mission. The blue haired trainer’s eyes lit up as though a light bulb had just turned on and she fished around inside the pockets of her cotton-and-polyester pants in a hurry. “That’s what we could do! Use our birds to fly back to the mainland! Most only need something you’d find on the mainland to spot their way in the right direction, since most birds use their keen eyesight instead of their sense of smell.” Birds weren’t really known for their sense of smell, since they weren’t that strong…but a lot of birds used their eyes to find what they needed, like food left out in a bird feeder from far away.

“Isn’t that rude?” Suraimu giggled louder as bits of his strange form dripped from his own body and splashed against the ground. Since he was mostly just toxic sludge that had somehow been given sentient life, it wasn’t so strange of a question to ask. “Obviously my body is all connected somehow, right? I’m alive. So I feel pain just like you would.” He scoffed. The strange toxic sludge turned to Horizon and frowned when his friend continued to berate the two fish, though he couldn’t really blame him. Maybe they’d listened so that they could show off their wonderful dance moves without the fog ruining it? Maybe it was just a trick to increase the power of their attacks? How would Suraimu or Horizon know if they didn’t even give the two fish a chance? “I think Horizon means is…we will see your moves better now. Is it too late for a new performance?” Suraimu asked thoughtfully.

“Suraimu keep using Assurance! Please have patience and only attack when you’re sure you can focus through your confusion!” Mishu called out with her hands cupped around her mouth. As Suraimu stretched out tall once more and focused through the hues of colors all blended together to try and strike the golden fish once more, Mishu nodded and hummed underneath her voice. “I’m sure my Estate has noticed. I have an Education Center that I’m hoping will be state-of-the-art for Johto one day. It’s set up for young and old alike to further their own understanding of Pokemon and the different biomes in our world! But…how well is it running without me, I wonder…” Mishu tapped the side of her face with a loud, audible, and exasperated sigh.
