The whole way there, Nyx remained pressed against the seat. As soon as they parked at the beach, Nyx scrambled to undo her seat belt and waited for someone on either side of her to get out so she could GO!

When they arrived on-sight, Jen opened the van door and jumped out; during the ride, she had taken off her uniform to reveal a blue two-piece and a pair of grey board shorts. Boots had been exchanged for flip flops and gloves were promptly stuffed into her tote bag next to a Pichu egg.
So much for "training". Might as well enjoy the day...as soon as everything was unloaded, that is.
Opening the back of the van (first making sure nothing thrown in there haphazardly would come tumbling out) the Grunt began pulling out bags and boxes packed with various beach stuffs. A few folding chairs had been covered with a tarp at the bottom of the boxes. "I think it was in here....HAH!" With a grunt, Jen struggled a bit with a portable fireplace she had snunk in earlier to drop it next to a cooler with various grillable foods and pokemon food cookables. Another cooler (much larger) held drinks from water to soda and vitamin drinks hung out near a large beach umbrella.
Inside the van, something caused her tote bag to wiggle and fall over. For a few seconds, it squirmed before a little yellow ear poked itself out from under a layer of clothes and towels with a tiny "CHU!".

"P'ka." Switch cocked his head and looked at Nyx askance. What was her problem? He wasn't back there long, though, soon returning to his trainer's lap.
The ride was uneventful, windows down and the radio on; Hayes was a reasonably careful driver, for all that he only kept one hand on the steering wheel. The agent pulled to a stop a few meters from Seth's vehicle, kicked the emergency brake on, and unlocked the doors, including the back. "Okay, here we go."
Switch didn't wait for the door to open; he leapt to the open window, perched there for a second, then dropped down and went racing across the sand. Hayes followed a moment after, slinging his backpack over one shoulder. "Shouting distance!" he called over his shoulder as he went to help unload the van. There was a distant "Piika!" from the tide pools.
When Hayes opened the back, he found.. a green-haired man wearing pants on his head, hugging a long-suffering Flareon. "..." The blond blinked a few times, then shifted one of the coolers with a scraping noise. "Hey, wake up. We're here."
Nadja's cool grey gaze shifted subtly toward Seth at Panther's attempt at humor (for lack of a better word,) her expression unchanged from that faint smile. As the disparaged grunt got out of the van, the redhead leaned back in her seat without comment, remaining in a relaxed pose for the rest of the trip. Most of the time she spent gazing vaguely out the window at some thing unseen.
When the van pulled to a halt she seemed to stir, stretching long legs out with languid motions before shouldering her bag, opening her door and descending lightly to the sand. The elite stood there for a moment with her hand on the door, surveying the seascape while a light breeze ruffled her hair.

Like Nadja, Nikki was pretty much silent the entire way there. But once they arrived, she quickly exited the van and made her way onto the sand. Sandals adorned her feet and she wore shorts and a tanktop as well.
Almost immediately she started releasing Pokemon. Her black Pidgeot being the first, followed by her pair of Eevees.
Stepping away from the van, Seth made his way down to the surf. The elite tossing a pokeball into the air to release a gargantuan Pokemon.
"Waaaaaaiiiil" the Wailord greeted its owner. Its bulk only partially submerged in the shallow waters.

Liam, who had been pretending he didn't exist during the entire ride, leaped out of the back of the van as soon as it came to a stop, trying to hide behind it.
Gotta get away from the Elites, he thought, ducking behind a now open door. He knew in that nagging little part of his brain that the Elites were here so they must know what's going on, but still, he was technically breaking a rule... even if they were...

Hayes saw a telltale flash of blue-white hair skitter around the side of the van. "Hey Liam!" he called. Maybe some focused activity would help the kid relax. "Can you take this umbrella?"

"I-I-I-I... yes sir, Mr. Hayes, sir," he responded, grabbing the umbrella. It fluttered a bit in his shaking hands, but at least being around Mr. Hayes was more comfortable than trying to hide from Seth and his newest partner. If anyone asked, he could always tell them Hayes brought him for a special mission.

Shouldering her bag, Kofuku looked to her friend and grinned. "Hey, I don't need to be dressed up in a uniform to train. Besides, I've been running them decently hard all week while I've been off of studies and stuff with the infirmary."
Her bag suddenly got a lot heavier as Gizmo escaped from his ball. Little head poking out from the towel, he scrambled out of the bag and landed on the ground with his tail held high as he looked around. There was so much going on, and his eyes grew wide as he tried to take it all in; his person never told him they were going to a party! Tail twitching, he noticed a very familiar 'Chu running off in the beach. [SWITCH!] Grinning, the pikachu took off after his friend, kicking sand up behind him as he ran.
"STAY OUT OF TROUBLE!" Fuku called after him, then sighed and reached into her backpack. "Hiromi, Hercules, follow him please." Sure enough, the eevee and totodile appeared and nodded to their trainer before going off after the troublesome pikachu. Giving a sigh, Fuku shook her head. "Last time they ran off, Hercules joined us.. remember that, Faleen?"

Nereus jumped out of the back of the van as soon as the back was opened up. He ran down the beach towards the water, holding his surfboard over his head, the masterball bouncing around at top of the board until it tilted and jumped in front of the pikachu. The mouse pokemon stopped, suddenly remembering his plotting companion and poked the pokeball, releasing the mewtwo. "Pika pikachu!"
"No, no, I am sure you didn't forget that I was here...." Heal sat down next to the pikachu and gave him a look before watching the other pokemon and their trainers, seeing a large shadow going across the water, he rasied an eyebrow and watched as a large pidgeot flew towards the water and dived down. "Hey, that looks like Ga..ga...gavin?!"
That is when the mewtwo and pikachu suddely had one of their ears grabbed, and were roughly made to turn around. "Pika..."
"Ah...eh....hi...."
The towering mute scientist narrowed his eyes in delight at their shock expression. It still amused him that his pokemon thought they could out smart him, however, he knew part of the shock was because he was wearing swimming trunks and nothing else.
"How did you know where we were?"
Ezekiel removed his hands from their ears and took out a paper from the bag he brought and showed it to the mewtwo.
"Oooh...I forgot to erase the e-mail....wait, it doesn't say which beach we were in" At this, Heal was shown the man's pokedex, which switch on to a map showing a bunch of dots, three of said dots were shown to be at the beach. "...........You have us all chipped?!.....Wait....is that one your brother?! Has anyone told you you are a sick sick man?"
The man nodded as he open an beach umbrella that had designs of playing cards depicting a poker's full house and propped up before putting a couple of towels under it and flopping ontop of one and waved a hand at the two still staring pokemon. Nereus took this as he could finally go to the water and shot towards it with his surfboard. "Pikapikapikapikapikapikapikapikapika!"
Heal got onto the other towel and still stared at Ezekiel who was putting a pair of shades on, he gave the mewtwo a 'what' look. "I didn't know you had a tattoo..." He pointed at the trainer's left arm, which was cover with tattoo full of strange designs from shoulder to wrist. Of course, Ezekiel always wore long sleeves, so it was always hidden. His pjs were even long sleeved.

Faleen knew Kofuku better then Kofuku thought, "I didn't say you needed to be in uniform, but my statement is still true"
She said with a grin, tilting her sunglasses down to peer over at Kofuku, and then push them back up.
The grunt watched Kofuku's Pokémon run off toward the beach, smiling softly when he friend brought up the last time they were at the beach.
Since then, it did look like Kofuku's improved. Hercules wasn't being as disobedient.
"Alright" she said with a sigh, stretching herself out a little from the long trip then reached down to pull her poke balls from her thigh.
Expanding them so that they fit in her hand, she tossed them toward the sand.
Talk about two out of place looking Pokémon, Shuppet already dark in color seemed rather excited to be there, though his setting was usually a darker indoor setting more fitting with his type and coloring.
Umbreon, did not look nearly as pleased, the moment he was sent out to stand in the bright sun, his ears drooped to the side as his head bowed down, looking over at his master with eyes that were not nearly as wide as they usually are.
“I know” Faleen said to him, putting the poke balls back onto her thigh as she made her way over to them, her boots sinking into the sand, causing her to have to take shorter steps.
her eyes moving to the Pokemon that the others were releasing, the one that stood out most by far was the wailord half beached on the sand... and she didn't think Seth's Pokemon could get any bigger.

Leonard laughed and mentally faceplamed at Panther's attempt at humor. It was funny, at least in the sense that no one else was saying anything, but there was no way he was going to escape that alive. And true to his thoughts, the grunt got kicked out of the car.
For the rest of the ride, he stayed silent and just stared outside the window. When they finally arrived at the beach, Leonard whooped in excitement and practically leaped out of the car.
He would like nothing more than to just relax and perhaps take a dip in the ocean... but if they really were here for training then he should at least look like it. So he sent out the only Pokemon he trusted to be around people, and that was his Drifloon.
The Drifloon, Weatherby, was humming softly while bobbing in the breeze. If he had to go against some of the other Pokemon the other trainers sent out, he would get KO in one move. But if there were wild Pokemon... Leonard considered going out to the sea to look for wild Pokemon to battle, but stopped himself for two reasons. One, he might get lost. Two, he didn't quite trust his Surfing Pokemon quite just yet. For all he knew, she would just buck him off.

Sorano snorted awake. "Whu?" he said at first but when he turned his head, he obtained his answer. Like a Pikachu using Volt Tackle, Sorano sparked with excitement and immediately bolted for the sand, the pants and shirt he was wearing ripped away in the midst of his run. The Flareon sighed a little, glad to be able to breathe normally. Never bowed to Hayes in thanks and followed after his trainer in a slow trek. The heat felt nice and the Flareon ruffled his fur from the sunlight. The sand felt even nicer, save for the fact it was so course.
When the Flareon reached up with Sorano, he took a seat as the grunt rolled out a towel and flexed. Sorano flexed again, than again. He even flexed when two young woman crossed his way and flexed again when a Wingull squawked and stole some of his snack foods. Heck, he flexed when Never began to roll in the sand. His flexing was amazing, utterly amazing. Such mastery . . . such skill, was his flexing.
"The weather be nice to-day, aye, Neva?" questioned Sorano while flexing.
The Flareon just grunted a, "Areeee." as he soaked himself in sand. Ah, so warm~.

As he continued to hold the umbrella for Hayes, Liam took a moment to look around and see who had arrived at the beach with him. He noticed Seth and his Wailord (Oh, Wailord, I'm going to get eaten...) as well as Nikki and Darkfeather, her Pidgeot (They could kill me and dump me in the ocean... and nobody would ever know...). He knew Faleen, who he waved at heartily, and her Umbreon, as well as... BY ARCEUS!
"Sorano!" Liam cried, waving the umbrella over his head, "You look... SO RIDICULOUS!" It was all he could do not to drop the umbrella and roll around on the ground clutching his gut and laughing.
"What are you trying to do!?" he called, laughing the whole while.

"Ree-dicolous?" blinked Sorano as he turned around towards the familiar voice. He grimaced at the laughter but managed to mutter out a, " 'ey sherty." while grinding his teeth. Didn't girlies faun over men who were all show and not just talk? Shrugging, Sorano approached the shorter male and ruffled his hair. "What're ya doin' here? A'sides from bein' a sherty an' doin sherty-ish things."
Never stalked over and took a seat next to Sorano. "Flareee." he yawned and blinked lazily at Liam. Oh look, it was a fun-sized human. What fun.

Nyx launched out of the van, squealing with glee. She couldn't get her uniform off quick enough, especially since in her rush to bathing-suit-up she managed to get her top stuck.
So Nyx stood there, arms wrapped up awkwardly over her head, skirt still hanging on off of one foot.
"Uhh.... little help here? I appear to be stuck. Guys?"
