"Mordecai, you're in my sun. Move."
"Metang..." The large Pokemon's tone was apologetic, almost ashamed, but he obediently moved out of the way.
It was a perfect day to be at the beach; there were only a few clouds in the sky, the sun was shining, there was a gentle breeze blowing across the sand, and the waves were rolling gently along the shoreline. A lot of other people had deemed it a perfect day as well, but most of them were closer to the water. Seraphine, however, was not. She'd gone that day, in her soft pink bikini and laying on her pink and white towel, to sunbathe and tan. Oh of course she could go to a tanning booth, but she actually liked being outside. Not that she'd admit it, of course.
Her Pokemon were enjoying it too; Mordecai was hovering nearby with her bag, Giselle was invisible somewhere, and Anastasia was playing with Isabella while Jacques took turns impersonating the lot of them. Yes, it was a wonderful day to be at the beach.

In the next instant something ran past Sera, kicking up sand in its wake. The culprit being a blue and white Growlithe with a jagged scar across one side of its face. Repede made his way to the water's edge, where he sat down and wagged his tail, looking back and forth and tilting his nose into the air to take in the scents. It had been a while since they'd both been to a beach, even Yuri would have to admit that.
The young man tailing his furry companion as he made his way towards the water's edge, and not without coming past Sera as well. He paused nearby, placing a hand on his hip as he took in the scene. The ocean never ceased to amaze.
The breeze played with his long black hair, and today he was also dressed differently from normal. Even Yuri had sense enough not to wear boots on the beach. Getting sand in his shoes was really annoying. Thus he was barefooted, and wore a white bandana on his head. He also wore a pair of loose fitting, airy yellow pants and a white tank top decorated with some weird looking black creature on the front.

The Growlithe itself wouldn't bother her - in fact, she could've completely ignored it altogether - except for the fact sand was now flying all over her. That tended to happen when you laid on a beach towel in the sand. "Augh! Phhffthpt!" Note to self: Never eat sand. "Hey!" The fire-type, however, had already long since past her and instead of yelling at it, she ended up yelling at some guy following it. No matter, that guy probably owned it so naturally all yelling should be directed at him anyway. "Who do you think you are, getting sand all over me?!" She sputtered as she sat upright and began dusting the sand off herself. Of all the rude, inconsiderate things...! "I just, you did not -- Oooooh! You are so damned lucky that I'm being nicer to people!" She finished with a huff and a pout as she crossed her arms over her chest before she looked up at oh dear gods what was he wearing? "Why would you wear such an atrocious thing to the beach?" Her distaste, if not evident in her words and her tone, was made more obvious by the look of disgust on her face.
Anya and Isabella moved back over to their mistress's side, the Absol staying there while the Umbreon turned to gaze up at the human curiously. "Breee?"

Yuri would have been completely oblivious to this girl's discomfort if she hadn't started flailing around and screaming. At first he didn't realize it was directed at him, and halfway through her rant, he finally looked at her, blinking. Huh?
However, her disgust at his clothing drew a grin. Oh ho ho. So she was one of those. Yuri wasn't at all wounded, and was instead, amused more than anything. Naturally, he had to be a smart a**.
"And who do you think you are? The fashion police?" Although it was said with humor rather than any sort of defensiveness.

"I only am when people run by and assault me with sand!" She retorted as she stood herself up and put her hands on her hips. While some girls might be uncomfortable standing in a bikini in front of a fully clothed male, Seraphine showed absolutely no such discomfort. "And only when someone prances by that looks like their colorblind three year old brother dressed them in the dark!" Honestly, who would wear such an atrocious outfit? He did look sort of good in yellow though, so it wasn't entirely terrible. Just mostly.
"Well," she relented after a moment as her arms moved to cross over her chest and her nose lifted just a fraction, "it could be worse, I suppose. Still, doesn't give you or your dog any right to get sand all over me." Clearly she was expecting a heartfelt apology, but with the situation how it was, she probably wouldn't get much more than laughed at.

By this time Repede had started wandering back, carrying a stick in his mouth. One might think that the dog wanted to play fetch, but Yuri knew better. The Growlithe had noticed all the yelling and now sat next to his human companion, looking up at Sera with one stoic blue eye.
"Wow, don't hold back," Yuri said with his silly smirk still plastered on his face.
He then looked down at his Growlithe. "Well? What do you say, Repede?" The dogmon looked up at Yuri then back to Sera, and gave a bark.
"There, ya see? He's sorry."

Yuri's comment made the brunette narrow her eyes slightly, and for a few moments she seriously considered requesting that her parents sue him. She wasn't sure what they could sue him for - legally or monetary, considering he didn't look like he had any money - but that wasn't the point. However, at the Growlithe's - ew, what was wrong with its eye? - 'apology' she huffed and moved to put her hands on her hips.
She didn't seem to be bothered at all by the fact she was standing in front of a guy who was wearing more clothing than she was.
"Well..." She began, eying the dog very skeptically, "I suppose that's alright." It didn't look smart enough to spray her with sand on purpose, anyway. "I'm Seraphine," the teen relented at last, focusing on Yuri again and not looking quite as hostile or angry. "Who're you?"

Yeah, if Sera tried to sue him, she'd get nothing but pocket lint. Then he would probably spend time in jail or something. Which wasn't a problem, he'd been there before, many times. When you spent as much time in jail as he did, you just stopped caring after awhile. Plus a cell could be pretty comfy if you did it right.
The man just chuckled at the girl's huffing.
"Oh? So now I'm worthy of your name? I'm honored. Mine's Yuri."
If Repede had known Sera's thoughts on his intelligence, the Growlithe would have been insulted.

"Part of it," she said with some self-importance as she looked down at one hand to study her nails as if they were clearly much more important than he was. She obviously didn't get what he meant.
Anastasia stepped off to one side, still near Sera but now closer to Repede. she said to him with a dip of her short muzzle.
If Seraphine had any idea what her pokemon was thinking, she would have been Very Unhappy. As it was, she was content at the moment and thought she treated the situation quite well. "Yuri?" She repeated with a quirk of her brow. "That's an--...interesting name," the girl abruptly paused before finishing her sentence. Clearly 'interesting' wasn't the word she had originally intended to say, but thought better of the first and opted for that instead.

Heh! This girl sure was something else. But if she didn't plan to tell him her last name, she didn't need to know his either. She probably didn't care anyway, and it didn't really bother him, so there was no reason to waste breath.
Repede looked over at the Umbreon and smirked, causing the pair of chopsticks in his mouth to stick straight up. Impolite was somewhat of an understatement here. "" The Growlithe wasn't really bothered by the girl's attitude, but that didn't mean he had to like her either.
Settling his weight onto one foot, Yuri's brows rose at her comment.
"Yeah well, I'm an interesting guy. So it fits, right?"

Sera folded her arms across her chest again with a thoughtful frown. "Yeah, I guess so." Weird name for a weird guy with a weird pokemon - yes, it definitely fit the bill.
Anastasia seemed a bit relieved by the Growlithe's comment, and she settled more comfortably into the sand. A short pause. Although she wouldn't blame the fire-type if he didn't believe her for a second. Seraphine was... definitely something else, but she loved her Mistress regardless.
Sera continued to frown, this time at Yuri's clothes. "...do you always wear that to the beach?"

Repede lolled his tongue out of his mouth in an amused pant at Anastasia, as if he were chuckling.
"" So it would stand to reason that Yuri probably didn't like Sera either. Not that he would show it so readily, but Repede could tell. Despite the smirks and the almost friendly banter, his human smelled of annoyance.
And again with the clothes. "Yeah, sure." Granted Yuri couldn't remember the last time he'd been to the beach, and really he hadn't had these clothes for very long. He just needed something other than his usual attire, and it seemed good enough for him.
"Why? Too much for your delicate eyes to handle? Sorry if my tastes aren't as refined as yours." Judging from his tone, that "apology" wasn't actually sincere in the slightest.

Anastasia asked, turning to regard the Growlithe with bright blue eyes. More people like Sera? Her Mistress would probably hate them all and call them materialistic pig-headed snobs or something - she never said she wasn't a hypocrite.
Seraphine sniffed at his 'apology', watching him closely for a moment or two before she shrugged and deemed it adequate. She really couldn't expect too much from an obviously inferior person. He didn't have an ounce of fashion sense, that much was clear, and probably had no money anyway even if he did - therefore, inferior. "That's alright," she said with some self-importance as she shifted her weight to the other foot, "it isn't that bad, I suppose..." She couldn't help but glance skeptically at his clothes again.
It was at that point she became acutely aware that she had been harassing him about his clothes for the past several minutes, and it gave her a nagging feeling that her negativity in relation to that was probably a bad thing, especially since she'd dragged it out so long. She had to at least attempt to be nice, even if he was lacking in the fashion department. "So anyway," she said, shifting her weight again, "tell me about your... ah.." Crap, what were they called again? It.. was.... oh! "Oh, yes - your Growlithe." That was it. Perfect! That subject change was flawless, and flowed perfectly. Of course it did.

Repede wondered a bit at Anastasia's surprise. Did she not know that others like Sera existed? One would think that a Pokemon who lived with such a human, would be well familiarized with them. ""
Yuri didn't miss the tone in Sera's voice. He wasn't an idiot and could somewhat guess where the girl's line of thought was going. He regarded her with a cool gaze for a moment, until his eyes brightened a bit again as she asked about his faithful companion.
"Oh, Repede? We've been together ever since I was in the military. He's a great Pokemon."
Hearing the humans talk about him, Repede turned his attention their way and barked a couple times.
"Heh, he seems to like your Pokemon too."

she said with a nod to herself and a satisfied flick of her tail. Luke acted kind of snobbish, and he was from there, so it made sense that snobby people tended to come from there. Good thing there weren't a lot of them here.
Sera was blissfully unaware of how her mannerisms were bothering Yuri - or how he liked to talk about his pokemon, but that was mostly because he'd brought up hers. "Of course he does! Anastasia is such a sweet little thing, aren't you?" She cooed to the dark-type as she leaned down to stroke the Umbreon's head a couple of times. Anya churred happily in response. "I guess she likes him too, but she likes everybody. ...wait, military?" She looked at him again, this time leveling him with a vaguely surprised and extremely skeptical look. This guy did not look like he was now, nor ever was military material.
Jacques chose this time to be obnoxious, so with a bounce he landed between Anastasia and Repede, flipped into the air and with a pop! he landed as an exact duplicate of the Growlithe - except with a devious little smirk.
