Iβm your biggest fanIβll follow you until you love me
Ah, summer; it was Ai's favorite time of year. Summer was the season for camping and fishing, and even though the sweltering heat made her sweat even more than usual it was worth it for those simple pleasures. Sure you could fish in winter, but keeping cooped up in a ramshackle box staring at a hole cut in the ice waiting hours for a bite that wasn't even guaranteed while freezing your ass off was far from her definition of fun. No, summer was far better. She'd already caught a few Magikarp off the dock her bare feet were currently dangling over, but she'd let them all go. And now, she lamented, was all out of bait.
Or was she?
"Hey, Scatterbug," she called, nose wrinkling as the caterpillar wiggled his way toward her from where Spike and Maurice had been sunning themselves. Yuck, what an unsettling way of moving.
< What is it, Ai? > he asked, tilting his head quizzically. She gave him a devious look which seemed to pass right over the oblivious bug's head.
"You ever been bait before?" she asked, and he had to take a moment to think about it like it was something that wasn't incredibly dangerous and probably pretty offensive to be asked.
< No, not really. Why? Do you need some bait? Can I help? > Ai almost felt a little bad at how much the slow-witted bug seemed to want to help her, obviously not realizing the peril of being live bait.
"Here's what you'll do. You're going to hold on to the fishing line, hold your breath as you go for a brief swim, and try and get something to bite the hook." She showed it to him and he looked at it with a sort of wide-eyed wonder. "Think you can do that?"
It was then she caught Spike's judgmental and disapproving look from back on the beach and she sighed. "...Nevermind. Go back and have fun with the others." Scatterbug nodded and smiled, beginning the steady crawl back to their companions and Ai had to look away.
This was going to be a long summer.

'i've got to break away' The heat was insufferable, almost, only broken by the crisp tang of lemonade - artfully designed, costing way too much but far more delicious than it had any right to be. He sat seaside, a rare break in his hectic plans, watching his Pokemon playing in the surf. Not watching closely enough, though, because as soon as he looked away, Kanna bulled up the sand, spraying water at his trainer from his trunk. Minske laughed, ducking behind his arm, but the saline rain assaulted him anyway. < Play, Minske, come play! > And who was he to deny such a plea? Minske pushed himself off of the towel, lemonade splashing to the ground, laughing as he chased his mischievous Pokemon toward the waves. |

Summer was always one of Kaleoβs busiest times. In recent years, it was a whirlwind season for concerts and promotional events; before that, it was a constant juggling act of trying to figure out what to do with his three younger siblings while they were out of school when he had to work. It was a rare day that he actually had more than an hour to himself, let alone a full day... but the whole regional journey was a blessing in more ways than one, itβd seem. {...So, youβre just going to sleep all day, then?}βYup.β Kaleo grinned, settling back on the makeshift pillow heβd fashioned out of his shirt and jacket and tipping the brim of his snap-back over his eyes. Ah, afternoon naps in the sun, heβd missed you so. βWake me when ya want dinner, βkay?...βHibi said something else, but he was already out. 150 Words β --- β aw yis god of word count PHARAOH LEAP.

β² Cool water encircled her legs as she straddled the surfboard, bobbing with the waves. It couldnβt compare to a Mantine ride, but she was grateful for the rental shops along the beach, the sunlight glittering on the water, the salty waves that lapped at the board and stung her eyes. A warm breeze carried a flock of Wingull over her head; she leaned back onto one arm and reached up towards them. This was as close to home as she could get. Close enough that she could just picture her mother there beside her, on her own surfboard. Close enough that she could imagine the wooden docks of the Seafolk Village, the fishermen returning from a day out on the open ocean. Close enough that she felt terribly homesick and yet perfectly at peace. Fane paddled forward. Time to catch her next wave. β 143 If this is still going <3

There really was nothing quite like it. The view sheβd had all her childhood right here on this bench along the river. Circunus City shimmering in the moonlight, every towering building lit up even at night. And the less glamorous but Grus at her back sprawling along the river it was settled alongside because of. It was home for her for 18 years and now that she was back, it held a strange sense of both nostalgia and unfamiliarity. Sheβd only been a ranger for a year and then gone on this little journey of hers for a handful of months. But so much had happened had changed for her since then.
Sheβd be turning the big two-oh soon and for the first time since official adulthood finally actually felt like a grown-up. Sarah glanced down at her little red wagon full of her team at various stages. The eggs that still needed to hatch. The babies who had hatched and were doing their best. And the seasoned older pokemon who were still woefully underleveled for their age. She had a responsibility out here on the road. And it was nice to have a moment of peace like this. They werenβt in the wild battling in the sun. They were in her hometown having a sit and enjoying the view. The breeze off the water was just cold enough to make you grateful it wasnβt blistering heat. The illumise and volbeat hovering in droves over the river and blending in with the city lights. It all just meant home to her.
And she was so happy she could share her favorite season in her favorite place with her team.

[nospaces] [attr="class","spellbound-text"] The heat brought about both a lingering misery and yet a wonderfully crisp refreshment every time Luciel found herself a shady spot or a beach to lounge about at. Not to mention the opportunities that arrived in the harsher sunlight, open and baring down on all its planet-bound subject. It was probably cackling at them... If suns could do that. What if the great star was a pokemon in disguise? The largest, most unmeasurable being in existence? Now wouldn't that be a plot twister... also probably very bad if it ever got curious. They'd fry up faster than shrimp-on-a-stick. [break][break] Putting aside those... random, strange thoughts- Luciel stretched out under that same demonizing sun, enjoying the feeling of the waves running across her legs while Omen was playing chase with the foam. Sort of. Looking at the crawling pokemon, it was hard not to burst her face open with how comical it turning out to be. Low, menacing 'hnnnn's' left the omanyte each and every single time the water touched her tentacle-feeler-things. "Evil shiny sea fuzz! ARGH! My shell of souls thirsts for your salty bloo- hissss! Luciel popped an endless chain of giggles into the sand as Omen began to 'flee' again, failing so miserably that she and her soul-shell were more drenched than when they had first started. It was a curiosity as to why the ancient pokemon wasn't cursing out the sunlight but if the sea-critter was fine with it, the woman didn't see the need to give her even more ammo against... whatever it was she had found herself 'fighting'.

It was too hot!
Calla groaned. The hair that had escaped his headband was sticking to his face and the back of his neck, sticky and dropping with sweat. Summer days back in Sinnoh had still been farely cold, that was just the way of things. He had been looking forward to the beach but this was ridiculous!
Even so, aside from a few grumbles Calla couldn't complain too much. Cold, sweet, blueberry flavored relief was melting on his tongue as Andi sat next to him. The Rilou was enjoying her own ice pop, staring at the waves and seeming pleased. Ashpaw was on his other side, curled up and enjoying the sunshine. Yeah, it was hot, but Calla guessed it wasn't too bad.
