Welcome to Gaia! ::

Finally managing to get out of Pele's death grip, Seth let his Pokemon wander about. His Wailord puffed itself up with several massive gulps of air... then cruised across the water like a massive inflatable pool toy.

The antics from the grunts nearby was ignored as the elite decided to put some distance between himself and the rowdy bunch. More in Nadja's direction. He paused to watch her for a moment, before unpacking his bag which included a folding chair.
Setting up the chair, the elite then pulled out a pair of shades from his shirt pocket and put them on. Finally he settled down with a book in his hands.

Nikki looked unimpressed with the hazing that had befallen Faleen. Instead of joining in the fray, she meandered in Hayes direction. She didn't like most of the grunts, and the elites she'd rather leave alone.

After completing his manly duty of holding an umbrella for unmanly Liam, Sorano stalked off to the destination of his towel. Never was already hogging three-fourths of the entire thing, so the teal haired man had no choice but to sit on the sand like an depressed child. Suddenly, though, he jumped to his feet and Never opened one eye to him. Hmm, what had gotten his trainer so suddenly excited?

Sorano flexed a little before pulling out a wedgie from his speedo and turning to his Flareon. "Neva, I'm gonna go swimmin'! Care ta join me?"

The Flareon snorted. As if he could make contact with water, he was a damn fire type for crying out loud. "Flare." he simply uttered, coming out as a simple denial.

Sorano just smirked. " 'Kay than, yer loss!" he chirped before dashing towards the water, lime green speedo and all.

Grinning a little, Kofuku stuck her tongue out at Faleen. "Ooooh no, girlfriend, I'm not letting you waste away a perfectly beautiful day doing something you can do back at the HQ. We're going to actually have some fun in the sun." Making sure she had a good grip on her friend's legs, she started to move with the other two girls closer to the surf.

"So, what are your names? I'm Kofuku." She gave them a rather friendly smile, clearly in bright spirits at the moment.


Gizmo's ears twitched a little as Switch piqued his curiosity; what could be more fun than causing chaos among the humans? Bounding off after the other Pikachu, he held his tail up high; what had Switch found? As they started climbing up the more rockier terrain, he paused when he saw a small pool of water. Taking a few steps over to it, he peered in curiously; there was stuff in the pool! Living stuff! [Woooooooh, Switch, what is this stuff?]

As Sorano jumped into the water, time just seemed to pause, to hesitate and welcome the sudden case of misfortune to befall him amidst his happy moment. One second, his undergarments were neatly where they belonged . . . shielding his loins. Second, there was nothing, nada, nyet. His favorite annoyingly lime green speedo just seemed to vanish and fade away into the thin air about him. Time seem to resume than as Sorano took note of what just occurred. He splashed butt first into the water with a large ka-sploosh, spewing water everywhere. When he resurfaced, he immediacy panicked.

"Ohhhhhh . . . kaaaaay, great-o Arceus . . . are ya messin' with me?" he thought while dunking his head under the water and slapping the surface like he would the floor. "Kwe . . . he . . . hehe . . . hehehe, this ain't funn-ay y'know . . . give me back mah speeds! Gaaaa!"

This was not his day, not his day, not his day. Someone might see! Someone might . . . too late. Sorano had landed in somewhat shallow water that only reached up to mid-thigh. As he bent and searched for his only protection from the elements, a young boy pointed at his bum and a set of females playing volleyball laughed hysterically. By his majesty's back hair, this was not right. The poor grunt flushed more red than a steamed piece of Octilliery. This was not right at all.

The closer they got to the water, the more frantic and vocal Faleen become. Her sun glasses falling off in the struggle, her face bright red from embarrassment as being hauled off to easily like this.
The whole time she tried to reason with them, to absolutely no affect.
She stopped struggling once she found herself being held up over water, stiff as she tried to arch her body away from the ocean below.
“Don’t do it don’t do it! I don’t have a change of- AAII!” She felt all arms swing her, all hands let go, a moment in the air still dry, then SPLASH, Faleen vanished under the water in a spray of white. A wave rolling over the spot she was thrown in.
Water seeped into every article of clothing she had on.

Umbreon and Shuppet remained at the shoreline, knowing there was nothing they could do for there master now. eyes wide as they watched Faleen's inevitable wet doom.

And while all of this was going on, Seth didn't seem to react at all. He read his book in silence. If he was aware of any of it, he showed absolutely no sign.

The splashing of the water seemed to get the Wailord's attention and it drifted over to where Faleen had landed.

Coming around the side of the van to where Hayes was, Nikki paused at the crack of electricity.

"What the hell are you doing?"
