The beach was packed on the sunny day. Everyone was out and about enjoying the warm weather, eating ice cream and playing on the beaches. Isabela was one of those on the beach. She was kicking around in the water, running through the sand, and back into the water. Every trip back into the water, she would pause and look at something in her hand, and then tuck it into her pocket. Finally, she ran up to the sidewalk at the end of the sand, and started crunching on an apple she'd snatched from someone’s picnic basket, quite pleased with herself. She skipped happily over to the playground, debating if she wanted to play more or go back to where she rested her head.

Raxka was enjoying the warmth of the sun on her skin. Truly going to the beach was a favorite thing for the ampharos as not only did it allow her to barely wear clothing, but she could also enjoy the crash of the waves against the shore. Someone should have made me a water type. She grinned playfully before wading out of the ocean waters to get back to the warm sands. Raiden had left her alone to go on one of his 'training' missions today so she felt like it was a good day to just enjoy life. Now though she was feeling a snack and so the shiny gathered up her beach towel and bag to head towards the sidewalk.

Isabela had turned to leave the beach, but the sight of a gorgeous shiny ampharos caught her attention. That woman sure was pretty. Surely someone like that would have something good to nab! Tossing the apple core into the garbage, she scurried over to get behind the teen and see if there was anything special to grab. However, there were clearly no pockets for anything to be hidden in... Lips pursing, she boldly walked up and tapped the woman’s arm, face shifting into the sweetest smile she had. “’scuse me. I lost my money, an’ it’s really, really hot... Can I borrow sum’thin’ from ya for ice cream?”

Happily lost in her thoughts Raxka nearly stumbled when she felt a tap on her arm, "Excuse me?" The ampharos raised an eyebrow and then just smirked, "So you're needing to borrow?" Normally Raxka could have easily just given the money over, but what was the fun in that? It also didn't help that she had no real wallet or purse on her currently so the ampharos had to think about the situation, "How badly do you want the ice cream, kiddo?"

She was always willing to help out another pokehuman. She just wondered how much the girl wanted to do for the ice cream. Raxka had several ideas after all about how to go about getting it.

Isabela nodded and clasped her hands in front of her hopefully. The question of her desire made her brow rise curiously. That was a new one. “It’s really hot... so, really bad,” she replied, fanning herself slightly with one hand to make her point. She really didn’t mind the heat, but that didn’t matter! “Even enough fer a small is good~” she encouraged.

How adorable. This child really wanted some ice cream then. The sight made Raxka even more determined to do this job, "Alright then." She bent down to hold out a finger across the pokegirl's mouth, "Sssh. It's not that we get the money for it, the real way to do it is to get what you're wanting." She pulled back to look around the boardwalk that they were on currently.

Bingo. One human was standing by his ice cream stall where the wrapped cones and ice cream bars stood out boldly. Easy target, locked on. Raxka turned back to look at the girl before carefully pointing over the way, "See there? I need your cute little hands to be swift enough to pluck a treat or two from that freezer while I 'talk' to that lovely man."

The ampharos winked playfully, "Think you can do that since you want the ice cream so badly?"

Expression lighting up, Isabela was about to thank the ampharos when she was suddenly confused. Her jaw slackened slightly, eyes shifting over to the stall Raxka was pointing at. Immediately, her expression lit up like the sun. Someone else who didn’t mind snatching a thing or two!? It took a moment for her mind to adjust before nodding enthusiastically. “Just tell me what one ya want!”

"What I want?" Raxka tapped her finger on her chin thoughtfully, "I'll take any of them I think." She finally noted, "Just grab me any one, okay?" She wasn't picky when it came to sweets. All of them were delicious to her, especially icecream. The shiny was just happy to see how willing the girl was to join in on the plan. A fun way to pass time definitely! Raiden may have called her a bad influence, but truly wasn't this just a part of surviving? You gotta do what you gotta do she always said.

"I'm going to head on over so just wait a few and when he's not looking sneak around the corner, okay? I'll keep him busy until you run away." Winking Raxka began to sashay her way towards the icecream stand. It was obvious in the way that she walked that others began looking in the direction of the bikini clad ampharos.

Smiling Raxka waved towards the teen, "Hello there~ Care to tell me about how to get around this area?" She leaned over the counter with no hesitation, "A gal tends to get lost in this sea of people after all." Soon enough the expert had the boy walking with her towards the doorway where she could point the way she had come while his gaze tended to sway between the street and Raxka herself.

Nodding, Isabela strolled over to a close spot to watch, eyes giving all of her attention to the seductive teen. So that was how it worked... Amazing! That guy was a toy in the teens grasp!

Quickly glancing around at anyone else nearby, she hurried over to the freezer, grabbed a couple treats, and strolled away as though all was right with the world. After she was out of view, she took a bite of the sour apple fruit pop she’d grabbed for herself, and held the chocolate mint bar out for Raxka to take when the teen came over.

Careful to keep the store in the corner of her gaze Raxka had to hide her grin as she saw the girl sneak in and out with the ice cream. Oh this was so nostalgic! After all of the big heists she had pulled with the boys this was truly a relaxing theft. Holding back her laughter the teen nodded towards the guy, "Thank you so much for helping me out."

"Oh, but I didn't finish telling you about the best place to..."

Raxka raised a finger to his lips, "It's alright. You've been such a darling, but I truly need to get going." She winked playfully towards him, "Next time I'm here you'll have to tell more about the highlights of this place. I'll be more than willing to spend time to listen~"

Leaving him stunned the teen only burst into laughter as she turned the corner and took the bar from the other girl, "Not too bad, kiddo. You have some good nerves to just go in like that." Raxka took a bite of her bar while asking through the mouthful, "So what's your name?"

When the teen returned, Isabela looked up at her with a bright grin. “Thanks! You’re really awesome, too! That guy was helpless against you!” She couldn’t help being excited by what she’d seen. What she’d learned would be tucked into the back of her mind and used when it was more appropriate~ Licking at some of the dripping juices, she wiped her mouth on her sleeve and straightened up. “I’m Isabela. What about you?”

Raxka laughed, "I suppose he was, wasn't he?" She couldn't help it. Sometimes just walking her way into a guy's line of sight was just a fun thing to do. Thankfully Raiden wasn't here to enforce his clothing rules on her. Now that made life a hassle.

"Isabela? I'm Raxka." The ampharos grinned as she took another bite of her ice cream, "You might have some good talent in you for this life." Stretching her arms out the ampharos noticed the changing sunlight. Looked like her time was about up, "Tell ya what. I have to go now, but I'll keep an eye out for you in this area. Plus if you happen to be here..." She scribbled an address down for Amalie's shop, "Just tell her your Raxka's Issy. She'll have some things for you if you ever need, okay?"

Winking at the girl one last time the teen walked her way back into the crowds to disappear once more.

“Raxka.” That was an interesting name. Just like the teen sporting it! The compliment made Isabela’s smile grow even brighter. Darned right, she could do this!

She was feeling pretty darned good, and nodded to the teen. She needed to find a place to sleep tonight anyway. “Raxka’s Issy.” That sounded interesting! What kind of things would there be for her to have? “I’ll find it!” she assured. Maybe some food the next time she couldn’t get any dinner for herself. Going to bed hungry always stunk. She playfully winked back, and skipped off with a pep in her step at the huge boost of confidence the evening had brought her.
