You and the others have battled. There are three winners and three losers. Professor Pine has asked you all to group around. He says the last ball, the one with the purple ribbon with green swirls, will be given to the ultimate winner. He proposes 2 battle royales. The 3 winners will battle each other and the 3 losers with battle. The last two standing respectively will battle it out for the last ball. You battle Aimi, the hard-headed... Dare you say, bitch, and her Charmander, and Dim, a guy who dresses like a hipster and has problems with his Geodude listening. You ultimately get lucky again, with Lucky studying Geodude's Rock Throw. She wanted to prove herself strong, not having anything but Growl, Charm, and Metronome. She uses Ancient Power to knock Aden, Aimi's Charmander, out of the fight. She screams that youre cheating and flees after you say "like father, like daughter." You learned from Emma, a timid and shy girl, that her and Aimi have been friends since they were little. Their dads were rivals and banned from the league for willingly pushing their Pokemon to fight beyond their own strength, damaging them permanently. Aimi's dad became an agent, producer, and director in Devon Corp. He made Trainer Tips and Battle Station what they are. Emma's father is an inventor, engineer, and electrician. They're rivals in that they're the best in their field and always strive to be better. Aimi's father is very controlling and manipulative, while Emma's dad is very cold and competitive. He's a sweet guy, deep down, Emma says.

Ultimately, you win against Dimitri and his Geodude. You watch the others battle. Terra has a Rowlet who gets knocked into the water. She panics and throws in the towel and Emma and Naida battle it out. You go after Terra and give her a stern talking-to about quick thinking and being a Pokemon's parent. She just cries and says she needs to learn more before she can start her journey.
You learn that Naida's parents are always overseas and she has been coming to swim and meditate in the pond in the back of the lab. Her Sharpedo was a Carvahna then. She didn't have her trainer licence, but she wanted to be able to understand Pokemon better. One day, things clicked and she could understand Carvahna. He evolved shortly after and she got her trainer license. She teases you a lot. You sister would be smacking you in the head by now.
You moved here when you were 11 from the Kalos region. Due to your sister's... Friendliness, she had no problem landing a job here. She day drinks and invites guys over a lot. Her name is Andy.
Ultimately, you decide you like Dimitri. He's got a fighting spirit that's just like yours, but he also wants to just have fun battling. His Geodude seems to listen just a little bit after the two battles.
You like Emma. She's cute and friendly, but knows how to battle. She ends up beating you for the last ball. Naida says good luck and leaves fast. Pine says don't release him indoors. So while the others go to the festival, Emma and you go out to the back. Your Vulpix, Fox, stands determined to show she's strong too. You got her from an egg when your dad left. You were 6, so you didn't know him much.
Fox took a whole year to hatch. You had her looked at and they couldn't exactly figure out why she wasn't physically growing as normal. Five years later, she began growing normal. You heard it happens with some Pokemon sometimes.

You and Emma stand. She isn't quite sure what to do. A furious blush adorns her face as she plays with her hair.
"U-um, Naida sounded weird when she said that... And Pine seemed nervous, too.. I'm-I'm a little scared."
You pat Fox on the head. "Well, I said I'd help. Fox wants to, too."
She fiddles with the ribbon on the ball. "I guess so..." With that, she throws the ball, a blinding light filling the air. Noibat comes out, looking pissed. He looks to Emma, to you, and then to Fox. His eyes light up and he does a spin in the air, heading straight for Fox. He charges at her, his speed making it so you barely have a second to think. Fox tries to roar, but is knocked back by a tackle. He circles back again, ready for the next attack.
"Emma! Stop him!" you run towards Fox.
"Noibat, s-stop! Fox didn't do anything to you!" He spares her a passing glance before continuing. "Y-you'll go back in your ball if you don't stop!" He seems to think that's funny. "I mean it! You won't come out for a long time!" His eyes grow angrier as he fires off and attack at Fox, hurting her badly. Noibat's eyes spin. You run to retrieve her. He fires off another attack, but it hits nothing. He flies low and tries to tackle where Fox once was, instead flying into a tree. He sits on the ground, clearly out of it and hurt. Emma stomps up to him and hoists him up to face her. "That was very bad! Immature! Y-you're like a child!" He sticks his tongue out. "She did nothing to do! You can't attack people just because you're angry! No one is going to respect you!" You can't help but feel like her words go for Aimi, as well. Noibat groans, falling asleep. Emma returns him. "I'm s-so s-sorry about Fox."
You shake your head. "You couldn't have known he'd do that. She wanted to help."

"I'll do b-better," she says, sniffling. "He used Outrage... He's okay, it just took a lot out of him." She thinks for a second. "The festival! I forgot!"
You forgot about it, too. You leave Fox with Professor Pine and offer to go together. When you step onto the street, it's lively with people wearing Eevee masks, dancing to music. The street is lit of with fairy lights and banners plastered on signs and buildings. It feels as if Eevee is actually watching over you, maybe even dancing with everyone in spirit. You grin.

>dance
>get a drink
>get some food

>>get a drink

You pull on Emma's hand. "Let's get a drink."
She nods nervously. "J-just a little bit, okay?"
You nod back and go up to one of the vendors. The festival is pretty lenient on underage drinking if you get the right vendor. You order a small drink and Emma does the same, though hers is actually kind of pretty. It looks really fruity. She takes a sip and smiles. It must not taste that bad. Yours, however, does. You scrunch up your face a little and order a soft drink to mix it with. Yea, that's better. You watch people dancing for a little while, sipping on your drinks. You see an opening and quickly pull her in for a dance. She's awkward and shy at first, but the drink starts taking hold and she loosens up. Wow.. She can actually move her hips.
You dance for a while before sitting back down.

>get some food
>ask her more about her family
>tell her about your family
>something else

>>1039256
>>ask her more about her family

You people watch for a while. Emma seems less nervous.
"So, your dad invents things?"
She shakes her head a bit. "Yes, but he mostly fixes bugs and improves on inventions. He makes something small once in a while, but he's mostly credited for inventing Pokeplace"
Your eyes grow wide. "Aaron Terrence did a special about that. When pokemon go into their pokeballs they have a small room for lounging or training!"
She nods. "Aimi's dad. I swear, people wouldn't have thought it was such a great invention if her dad hadn't've given it so much publicity."
"Are you kidding me? That's a great invention! It's-it's revolutionary!" You're yelling. You can't help it.
She blushes. "Yea, but it would be relatively unknown if he didn't do a story about it."
She shake your head. "Everyone would've known about it!"
She smiles nervously. "I-I guess so."
You settle down. "What about your mom?"
A weird look crosses her face. "She-uh, she died when she had me."
"I'm so sorry..."
She shakes her head. "I mean, I get sad, but I didn't really know her, you know?" She pauses. "Dad gets really sad. I think that's why he throws himself into his work all the time... So he doesn't have time to feel sad."
You nod. This evening took a dark turn, but you're willing to make it better. You stand up and grab her hand.... And Aimi pokes you hard in the chest.
"Heeeey, itz the chump!" She sways. "Youuuu keep your grabby handz off of my friend!"

>Tell her to fuck off
>Politely remove her finger from your chest
>"Are you drunk?"
>something else

>>1039422
>>Politely remove her finger from your chest
>>"Are you drunk?"
Can you we do both?

(forgot to mention that! Yes, you can always do more than one option if you want to)

You politely remove her finger from your chest and she wrenches it back like you burned her. "Are you drunk?"
"Whooooz drunk? I had one drink!" Her glossy eyes and flushed face says otherwise.
"A-Aimi, maybe you should sit down," Emma offers.
She shakes her head violently. "Heeeell no. I came here to challenge thiz chump here to a reematsh." She steps back, pointing at your face. "Are ya gonna beee a coward or will you fight me fair, you cheater!"
You stare at her for a second.

>Fine. Rematch.
>Decline. She's too drunk and there are too many people around.
>Tell her to fuck off
>Try to calm her down
>Something else

>>1039545
>>Decline. She's too drunk and there are too many people around.
>>Try to calm her down

"There are too many people around," you say, shaking your head.
"A-and you're too drunk!" Emma blurts.
Aimi gives her a glare and turns back to you. "Juss what I'd expect from a cowwwward." She looks angry.
"Look, just sit down with us for a while and calm down."
Oh no. That did it. You forget when girls are mad like this you never tell them to calm down. She death-glares you. "Don't tell me to calm down! I'm perrrfekly clam! Calm!" She shakes her head. "You're one to talk! Mizter always lucky! Luck runz out, you know!" She pokes you chest again.
Again, you politely remove her finger. "I did mean anything rude. I just meant maybe we got off on the wrong foot. Sit down and we can talk."
Her eyes narrow. "Youuu juszt want to gain my trust so I'll go eazy on you!" She shakes her head again. "Coward! Cheater!" You open your mouth to speak, but she interrupts. "Thaz it!" She grabs her pokeball from her belt and presses the button. "Battle me! Now!" She stomps... Directly onto Aden's tail. A guilty look crosses her face and before she can say or do anything, Aden whips around and gives her a hurt look before running off. "I-I..." She sways and almost falls over.
Emma jumps up. "I'll-I'll go find him! Just... Take her somewhere else! She's in no condition to be out here!"
Easier said than done, you think as she runs off. You lightly take Aimi's arm. She still looks a little upset, but more guilty than anything.

>Take her to your apartment
>Ask where her house is
>Follow Emma
>Something else

>>1039673
>>Ask where her house is

"Where is your house?"
She looks up at you, eyes glazed over. "D-dad's not... home..." she mumbles and stumbles into you.
"Do you have a key?"
"Mm... Warm..." She drools a little.
You roll your eyes. Of course. You pull her arm towards an alley that's a short-cut to your apartment.
"Y...ou gonna take advantage of me...?" Her head lawls.
You shake your head. "Come on."
She stumbles away from you a bit and before you can grab her arm, she shoves you away and holds up a finger, promptly doubles over, and vomits into a pile of trash.
"Toooo mush," she sings and then vomits again. It gets all over her shirt this time. You roll your eyes and grab her arm. Slowly, you make it to your apartment. She stops to vomit twice more on the way. You unlock the door and lead her up the stairs. She sits on your couch while you rummage through your drawers in your room.
You retrieve a large t-shirt and shorts and hand them to her. "Get changed. I'll wash your clothes."
She takes her shirt off right there before you can lead her to the bathroom.

She's wearing a small pink bra. Well, that's totally cute and not something you expected. You remind yourself not to stare and that you hate her after you feel your ears grow hot.
You take her clothes, put them in the wash, and lead her to your bedroom, setting a trashcan next to the side she's on. "Get some sleep," you say, setting her in the bed. She grabs your arm and buries her face into your chest.
"You shmell good." She pulls back, her face growing tired and soft. "I'm sorry for being a bish." When she grows quiet and seems to be asleep, you get up to leave. She mumbles, "Dad's disappointed. I'm tryinggg."
You close the door and leave after fetching a blanket and pillow. You stay up for a while and switch the load. Then, you drift off. Today was a long day.

"Yo, idiot."
You open your eyes blearily, staring at your sister.
"You brought a girl home and slept on the couch? How lame!" She punches your arm.
You sit up, rubbing your eyes. The next thing you see is Aimi's face as she grabs your shirt. Her hair is wet and she smells like your shampoo. She's still in your oversized clothes. "Where are my clothes, you filthy pervert?"

>"In the dryer"
>"Did you use my shampoo?"
>Remove her hand
>Something else

>>1039838
>>>"In the dryer"
>>Remove her hand
no good deed goes unpunished

You carefully remove her hand while saying "In the dryer."
"And why're they there, huh?" Her face is red.
"Y-you threw up all over them."
An embarrassed look crosses her face. "W-when?"
"Last night. Aden ran off and Emma went to find him. You threw up everywhere, so I brought you here." You pause and then add, "I gave you my clothes to change into and you fell asleep."
She backs off. "Oh... Th-thanks... Can I have them?" She crosses her arm, staring at the floor.
"I mean, sure, but-"
"MY clothes, you idiot!"
Your ears grow hot. "They're in the dryer."
She rolls her eyes. "No shit."
Andy slyly saddles up to her, handing them to her. She takes them, face growing redder, and ducks towards the bathroom.
"She's into you." She holds up a hand.

>Reject her high-five
>"She hates me"
>"I think so too"
>Something else

>>1039912
>>>Reject her high-five
>"She hates me"

you oooobviously know more about girls than me." She rolls her eyes.
Aimi comes back, her clothes in your arms. "I'll, um, wash them and return them."
"I can just-"
"What a great idea! Thanks. Max?" She cuts you off.
"Thanks..." you say after getting a look that says "shut up" from Andy.
"Uh," she blushes, staring at the floor. "Thank you for, uh, taking care of me last night. I'm s-sorry I put you in that... position. I'll, uh, I owe you one." That last part seemed particularly hard to get out.
Andy gives you a look that says be nice or she'll punch you.

>You would've done it anyway, you couldn't have just left her there
>You only did it because Emma asked
>"Yea, you do owe me one"
>Something else

>>1040066
>>You would've done it anyway, you couldn't have just left her there

"I would've done it anyway," you say. "I wouldn't have just left you there."
She blushes even harder. "Y-yea, well, I know you probably did it just because Emma asked."
"Mostly," you admit. "Though what I said still stands. I wouldn't have left you. I would've done it anyway."
Her hands almost turn white as she grips your clothes in her hands. "I should, uh, get going. Emma probably found Aden by now... I feel terrible."
Andy puts an arm around her shoulders. "You are welcome aaanytime." She grins. "Keep the clothes. He has others." She pats Aimi's hands and winks at her.
"Th-thanks."
You grab Aimi's arm lightly, leading her towards the door. "Sorry about her." You stare at the ground and scratch your head. "You- I guess you can keep those if you want. They're pretty comfy to sleep in."
"The shorts are a little big, but..." she trails off. She looks up, meeting your gaze. She suddenly grabs your shirt, face redder than ever. "No one knows about this, got it?"
Man, you liked her more a minute ago.

>Joke about telling everyone
>"Emma knows"
>Sure
>Something else

>>1040190
>>"Emma knows"
>>Sure

"Sure," you say cooly, leaning back. "Emma knows."
She cocks an eyebrow. "Obviously. She knows not to tell anyone."
"This has... Happened before?"
"N-no! That's not what I mean."
You laugh a little. "I know what you mean."
She lets go of your shirt, opening the door and folding up your clothes so that they go almost unnoticed. "We-we should... have a rematch sometime. I'll, uh, be cooler."
You nod even though she can't see. "Sure thing."
With that, she's off. You shower and then sit down to eat breakfast. Andy is day drinking. You decide what to do for the day.

>Train after picking up Fox
>Try to find Emma
>Buy supplies for your journey (you have a moderate amount of money saved up)
>Something else

>>1040380
>Buy supplies for your journey (you have a moderate amount of money saved up)

You make your way to the pokecenter which doubles as a mart. You're sure most do. The clerk is very helpful and shows you a large array of tents and sleeping bags. You need to decide what you should buy.

>small tent, normal sleeping bag, some potions and revives (low cost)
>medium tent, comfier and bigger sleeping bag, potions and revives (medium cost)
>large cabin-like tent that sets itself up, big cushioned sleeping bag, potions and revives (high cost, will take about a little more than half your money)
>mix and match write-in
>Something else

>>1040424
>>medium tent, comfier and bigger sleeping bag, potions and revives (medium cost)

You pick the medium tent, the bigger and comfier sleeping bag, and buy some potions and revives. You also quickly buy a few poffins for Lucky and Fox. On your way out, you notice a sign that says "free room and showers for trainers. Food low cost". Hmm, you wonder if every pokecenter is like that.
You make your way towards Professor Pine's lab. On the way, you see a few garbage men with Muk and Grimers. They're clearing the trash and the Pokemon... Well, the Pokemon are eating it. You guess that makes sense. You pat a Muk on the head and come back with a slimy substance on your hand. It's pretty gross, but a garbage man near by gives you a towel to wipe it off. You guess that happens a lot.
Pine is happy to see you. "Max!" he exclaims. "Fox is doing great! I hope you don't mind. We've been playing."
You grin. His attitude is infectious. "Of course not. It's what you do."
He leads you to the back where Fox is playing with a Rockruff. Naida is sitting on a rock in the middle of the pond while Ren zooms around. "Feel free to stay as long as you like. Naida mentioned that Fox feels like she really wants to prove she can be strong, too, 'after that fight', whatever that means. Did things go alright with Noibat?"
You shake your head. "Like you said, he needs a lot of love." Before he can press further, you meet up with Fox. She takes on a determined fighting pose.

You throw your pokeball and im a brilliant flash of light, Lucky appears. You lead them to a large ring. "I want you to try and knock the other out of the ring first! This is friendly, though! So don't rough each other up too bad!" They seem ready and you sit back and watch. Naida has one eye on the battle.
They start off by pushing each other, but Lucky quickly learn that in terms of strength, Fox has her. She switches tactics and growls. Fox hesitates, but uses Baby-Doll Eyes. Lucky uses Ancient Power in front of Fox to scare her back. Fox does the same with Ember. It goes on like this for a while until Fox seems just a little more worn out than Lucky. Lucky tries to push her again, gaining a little headway. Fox fights back and uses Quick Attack and knocks Lucky close to the edge. She looks hurt. Lucky uses Metronome and and starts stomping on the ground, a light earthquake shaking Fox backwards. She looks hurt too. This time, Fox fires Ember directly at Lucky. She knows using it to just scare her back won't work anymore. She catches you watching and gives you a small, determined yip. She look exhausted though.

>Call it off
>Keep watching
>Something else

>>1040831
>>Keep watching

You hold your tongue and keep watching. Lucky fires Ancient Power at Fox, knocking her close to the edge on her side. They're both almost out of the ring!
A look crosses Fox's face. She's determined to show you she's strong too! You fought in 3 battles with Lucky and she won two of them, but you haven't battled with her yet.
Lucky fires another set of rocks at Fox, but she dodges and uses Quick Attack, knocking Lucky clear out of the ring! She jumps up and down and makes happy noises before running over to Lucky. She nudges her up and licks her face. Lucky nudges her back playfully as if to congratulate her. You run to hug them both.
"You guys did great!" They're both exhausted and hurt, and Pine offers to heal them before feeding a Rattata a poffin. You accept and sit next to the pond. Ren zooms past you, playfully splashing water at you.
"You're a nice trainer," Naida says softly.
"Thanks."
"They're glad you didn't stop them. They wanted to prove themselves."
You sigh. "I just want them to be happy, not to try and prove themselves."
She laughs. "Max, that IS what makes them happy."

>Ask if there's anything more you can do
>Ask about her parents
>Ask what she's reading
>Something else

>>1041000
>>Ask if there's anything more you can do

"Is there... Anything more I can do?"
She smiles warmly. "What's more important to you? Their physical well-being or their mental well-being?"
You think for a moment. Is this a trick question? You can never tell with Naida. She seems so helpful and nice, but you just can't quite put your finger on her. With Aimi and Emma, they're pretty straightforward. With Naida, you never know what she's thinking. She's always quiet and reading things. You wonder if she knows people as well as she knows Pokemon.
"Well if I had to choose..." you begin

>Physical
>Mental
>Both
>Something else

>>1041174
>Both
Everything in moderation

>>1041174
>Both
Each of these isn't too great on its own.

"Both."
She smiles again. "Right answer. People usually think too hard about it. I've mostly heard mental, though. The physical can be healed easily, but the mental cannot." She nods. "But one is nothing without the other. If your Pokemon is in a good state of mind, but cannot move, they'll be miserable anyway. If they're depressed, but can move, they may end up doing something they regret. Do you understand what I mean?"
You nod. "So... I should just focus on them being physically healthy as well as emotionally?"
She nods and gives you a knowing smile. "You're doing it already. Sometimes a Pokemon may not be in a great condition to fight, but they won't want to give up. Would you recall them if they were in poor health, or let them stay because they wanted to?"

>Let them stay in, they want to
>Recall them, they're in no condition to fight
>It depends
>Something else

>>1041344
>>It depends

>>1041344
>It depends
We need to read their signs. Sometimes, they don't mind about getting knocked out, but their self-esteem might take a massive blow if we recalled them.
Sometimes, they are more suicidal than focused to win. In moments like these, we have to recall them to avoid getting them hurt. They will understand once their mind clears.
We will have to learn a way to differentiate between these two.

"It depends," you admit. "Sometimes they don't mind being knocked out. Sometimes it'll give them a blow to their ego. They'll feel like they didn't try their best. Sometimes they're more fixated on completely beating their opponent that they don't see how hurt they actually are." You pause and she studies your face, but you're staring at a Rockruff and a Rattata rough-housing. "We have to... Differentiate between the times when they're going to get seriously injured versus the times when they actually want to try their best in an innocent way."
She nods slowly. "That's a very nice way of thinking and I think you're absolutely correct. If Ren was in danger of getting very seriously injured, I wouldn't let him continue. If he was just trying his best in a battle, I would. But what if it's a life or death situation? For the both of you. Would you let your Pokemon sacrifice themself to protect you?"

>No, I would sacrifice myself
>Yes, if that's what they truly wanted
>I wouldn't let them do it alone. We'd both try our hardest together
>I don't know, that's a hard question
>Something else

>>1041549
>>I don't know, that's a hard question

"I don't know. That's a hard question."
She nods. "I see. I understand. No one ever knows how to answer that one."
"You ask people these often?"
She shakes her head. "Just a few trainers. I guess I think too deeply. That's why none of 'em stuck around." She laughs a little. "I'm not freaking you out, am I?"
She shake your head. "Not at all."
She smiles a warm smile. "One more question."
You nod. "Shoot."
"Would you get revenge on someone who wronged you? Say, if someone from Team Planet stole your Pokemon and hurt them. If they hurt someone- or people you care about, would you send them to jail, or something else?" She tilts her head slightly.

>I would send them to jail, let the cops deal with them
>I would hurt them right back
>Something else

>>1041748
>>I would hurt them right back

"I would hurt them right back."
She nods, realizing something. She says nothing, but makes a "hmm" noise.
"Was that... Wrong?"
She stares at the water, biting her cheek. "I'm not sure. I haven't even figured out my answer yet. Though, I was leaning more towards that. Although, I wouldn't know if I had it in me, personally..."
You stare at her thinking for a bit. "I'm not quite sure either, but people like that don't deserve to have a part in this world until they learn better. I'd like to think I'd hurt them right back, but also have the cops deal with them after."
"So... you wouldn't kill anyone." A dark and pained look crosses her face.
"No. I'm not that kind of person."
She nods thoughtfully. "I'm not either, but sometimes it crosses my mind..."
You have a feeling that she's talking about something specific, but you don't want to press it. If it's important, you'll find out sooner or later.
"Welp," she says with a newfound smile, "your turn. Ask me anything!"

>Ask more about her family
>Ask about her hobbies
>Write-in

>>1041961
>>Ask about her hobbies

"Well, you start, "what are you hobbies?"
She thinks for a moment. "Surfing is a big one. I don't get to do it often, though. Surfers always know when it's a good wave day. It hasn't been for a while, which is odd." She pauses. "Swimming, of course. And I love hiking and going on walks." She looks down. "Oh! And reading! Meditating, also..."

>Could you teach me to surf?
>We should go to the beach sometime
>Maybe you could teach me about meditating
>I like going on walks and hiking too
>Something else

>>1042123

There is a 10 minute waiting period to count up votes. As always, you can choose more than one option. I will try to be fair and accommodating. Combat mechanics might be subject to change, but I will almost always have you roll a 1d100 unless more than one move is being used. I'll also probably have you roll for tough choices on how well they go.

Critiques, criticisms, and helpful suggestions are always great!
Call me Hippy for short :)

Recently: you saw another side of Aimi and got deep with Naida.

Pokemon:
Fox- Female Vulpix
Lucky- Female Togepi

>>1043773
Good morning hippy, ready when you are.

"Could you teach me how to surf?"
Naida grins. Her teeth are very straight and very white. She's really pretty. "Of course I could, but we won't be able to go out too far. Do you know how to swim?"
You nod. "Yes."
She nods back. "I could lend you one of my bigger boards. You won't fall off as easy." She laughs and then trails a finger down your shirt. "You've been falling a lot recently."
You shake your head. She's back to teasing.

>Go surfing now. It's still morning.
>Go surfing later, there's something else you wanted to do (write-in)
>Go surfing in a little bit, you want to invite someone along (write-in)
>Something else

>>1043776
Morning! :) hope you slept well

>>1043778
>>Go surfing now. It's still morning.

"Can we go now?" you suggest.
She stands and wipes a few stray pebbles off of her shorts. "I have to run home and grab the stuff we'll need. How about you bring the food?" She winks.
"Sure," you say. You guess that's a fair trade. "Anything else I should bring?"
"A good mindset and a towel."
You nod and then you both go separate ways. You pick up a towel and change into your swim trunks, putting your clothes back on over them. Now is the matter of food. You panic slightly. What kind of food does she like? How much should you bring? How much does she eat? Maybe you should make a picnic.

>>Make various foods and put them in a picnic basket

You decide to take a bit of everything. You pile in a some apple, oranges, and bananas. You also make four sandwiches. You're going to probably eat two. You throw in a few water bottles and call it quits.
"Do... Do you have a date?" Andy looks like she usually does when she day-drinks. Her long brown hair is in a messy bun and her face is just a little flushed. She can handle her liquor.
"Well, not exactly."
"'not exactly'? What in the hell does that mean?"
"It means," you say, exasperated, "that someone is teaching me how to surf, so I thought I'd bring some food."
She laughs. "A whole picnic? Yea, whatever. Have fun, idiot." She waves you off and goes back to her room.
You take the basket and your towel and make your way to the beach. It's a sunny day and the heat makes you almost instantly take your shirt off. You set your things down and test out the water. Wow, it's still pretty cold.
"Max?"
You turn around and see that Naida's swim suit consists of the same orange she wears. It looks a little small on her... Frame. You're not complaining though. She hands you a large board. Hers is much smaller. You both paddle out and a small wave comes toward you. Naida stands up, ready to ride. She looks in her element.

>Ride this one out, you need a feel for the water still
>Stand up, no fear! (roll a 1d100)
>Something else

Rolled 77 (1d100)

>>Stand up, no fear! (roll a 1d100)
How long are you going to run today

You stand up, too. You're afraid you're going to fall off. You've never really done this before. The wave gets closer and you get more nervous. But you plant your feet. And you... Ride out the wave standing up! You look to Naida who shoots you a thumbs up and a grin. She goes further and encounters a larger way, doing a little spin on the way down. It's nothing super fancy, but she's challenging you to try and do the same.

>Ride it normally (1d100, low difficulty)
>Lay back down and ride it that way
>Try and do the trick (1d100 high difficulty)
>Something else

(probably for about 2 more hours. I gotta get ready for work. I get off around 1030 central. I might run for a little bit, but I'm not sure. I'll update twitter)

Rolled 15 (1d100)

Here goes nothing

You're going to go for it! You're going to- oh.. Oh no. The wave is bigger than you thought. Or... It got bigger. You're not sure. All you're sure of is that it's coming, and it's coming fast. Super fast. You try and plant your feet, but it's kind of slippery. You almost slip off, but you don't. You plant your feet. The wave washes over your feet and you're only vaguely aware of the fact that you're tipping. And slipping. Your feet lose touch with the board and you're propelled into the air. You barely have time to suck in a breath before you're washed under the surface of the water. You try to open your eyes, but the salt hurts and it's really blurry. Are you upside down or ride side up? You can't tell. So you stay there. You're losing breath fast and you feel something brush against your leg. You panic and open your mouth, forgetting there's no air, and swallow a little water. Something brushes against you again and it hurts. It feels like sandpaper. It hits you from your butt and you're propelled again towards the surface. The sun hits your eyes and you cough up a lot of water. The thing gently brings you as far as it can go to the shore. Your eyes focus. It's Ren and your side is red where he brushed against you.
"Are you okay?"
You cough again, crawling towards the sand. "Yea," you say, out of breath.
"You don't learn by listening. You learn by doing," she says. You almost roll your eyes. You just almost died! "Every surfer has had their fair share of wipe outs. Believe me."
You lay for a moment catching your breath. After a little while, she takes your hand and leads you to a blanket and umbrella she's set up. "You, uh, brought a lot of food..." she says in a very uncharacteristic voice. She seems nervous.
"I didn't know how much you eat... Or what you eat."
She takes out a sandwich and an apple. "These'll do fine. Thank you. I'm sorry I made you waste all of this."
You shake your head and go to speak, but you're interrupted.
"It's not wasting if you have more mouths to feed." It's Aimi and Emma is behind her.

>The more the merrier! Divide the food evenly
>I'm not sure there's enough...
>Something else

>>The more the merrier! Divide the food evenly

You take the other two sandwiches and hand them to Aimi and Emma. Aimi is wearing a bright red bikini with white dots. You never noticed how big of a chest she has... Emma is wearing a purple one-piece, but it has little ruffles by the legs.
"There's an apple left and some oranges and bananas," you say, gesturing to the basket.
They sit on the blanket with you guys. Aimi grabs an orange and Emma grabs a banana. "So... Did we ruin your date?" Aimi asks with a sly grin.
Why does everyone think it's a date? You're just hanging out!
Naida grins back. "Nah, we already did what we couldn't do in front of people."
You choke a little.
"Guys, stop p-picking on Max!" Emma stammers out, red-faced.
"We're just having fun," Naida says with a cute pout.
Aimi pouts back and puts an arm around Naida's slender shoulders. "Yea. Max liiiikes it."
You cough again.
They both lean away and laugh. Man, girls are weird...
Emma blushes, but smiles a little. Even you do.

>Joke, go along with Naida
>Ask what they're doing at the beach
>Ask if they know how to surf
>Something else

>>1043914
>>Joke, go along with Naida

You lean in and speak quietly, so they have to listen really close. "I mean, I don't think people /should/ see the things we did... Naida and I got soaked."
Naida sits there for a second, looking a little mortified. Aimi looks really surprised. Emma looks embarrassed. No one speaks.
You break the silence and lean back. "Surfing is a messy sport."
Naida starts laughing. Aimi looks like she just got told she won the lottery and then found out she was missing one number. Emma giggles, still red-faced. Aimi shakes it off.
"How about that rematch we talked about? Right now! I have a very interesting trump card you might want to see."

>Accept, you'll beat her fair and square. Again.
>Decline, she might do something weird
>Something else

>>1043970
>>Accept, you'll beat her fair and square. Again.

You stand and nod. "I'll accept your challenge."
She stands as well and heads a little further away from everyone. "2 on 2?"
You glance down to her belt. When did she get another Pokemon? She lost Aden and gained another? "Yes," you agree.
You toss your Pokemon out at the same time. Aden looks fierce! But Fox can be strong, too!
