Hau'oli City

"Rockruff. His name kinda say it all huh?" She commented absently, allowing her dress to slip off and into the sand. Replacing the top now that she wasn't overburdened by the access clothing proved to be a snap. With a devious smirk she almost considered asking Cyren to tie the strings a long the back of the bathing suit top for her but... Llorona suspected he wasn't in the mood for her games. He seemed much too distracted for such a beautiful day on the beach. Still, once she had managed to adjust her new attire, Llorona turned to face him and leaned back against the towel he held a little at a time in case he decided to let her fall, stretching herself out and grinning. "So? What do you think Cy? This thing was outrageously expensive- it's my favorite one!" She asked curiously, motioning down along the thin, black material with a near gold trim. The moment she had seen this two-piece in her home town, she knew she had to have it! Of course, Cyren was already focused on his Pokemon, leaving the woman to huff and roll her eyes. Even if he wasn't going to pay her any attention she would still attempt to have some sort of fun. With a toothy grin she began to bounce her weight against the towel, repeating in much the same cutsie tone as she had possessed when she was small. "Cyren!! Notice me!!"

"It's nothing! I have.. tee-ipe advantage. You know.. dogs eat cats, cats eat birds.. so birds eat dogs right? " DeadEye more asked than told the litten, blushing while he began to sing when she touched him with her nose. Rhea was already his favorite but she was somehow becoming more likeable every day! As the Rockruff simmered down, DeadEye cringed at Cyren's command which he sort of figured included him too, letting the Litten push him along. The others Llorona released seemed to be hanging out behind her, watching the bizzare but fun looking display as she bounced off of the towel her brother held playfully. Pebbles and stumpy had already accepted their new landscape and both were half buried in the sand, the rattata was chasing it's tail in tight circles, and... the new pokemon he had yet to see stood facing away from everyone. It seemed to be very intently watching the ocean. Perhaps it liked the water like Llorona did? "Yami, you don't have to be scared... we are at the beach, come down and hang out?" The rowlet should have known better after the response even Rhea had gotten but... she had wanted Yami to play so he had to try too! "Oh well.. maybe later?"
He offered, choosing to walk despite how difficult it was in the sand. Once he reached the water however, in spite of his good feeling, the Rowlet squawked,  the ocean water washing over his feet and causing him to shoot skyward. "Nope! It feels so weird!!"

Llorona Braithwaite



"It's cute? That's the best you got?!" She teased him, knowing that her attempts to be upset with her brother were failing against the wonders of the beach. Beginning to rather enjoy the small bouncing effect she had against the fabric - Llorona enjoyed it so much so that the woman continued to repeatedly throw herself against it with a slightly increased zeal right up to the point that Cyren was bitten by his Kabuto! All at once Llorona's world became more than a little vertical, her head snapping back as she actually managed to have a singular thought - 'Damn that sky is pretty.' Of course, she expected to fall, that was what typically happened when one tossed themselves backward at the wrong time, right? But Cyren turned out to be much faster than his peaceful deposition and large frame suggested... Much faster. "Cra- oh?" Before she could even finish her statement the woman found herself both still standing and huddled up against Cyren's form. She blinked a few times in a clearly confused manner in spite of what had happened being obvious. "I'm so sorry! I didn't know he was going to do that!" It was not often that the youth could be coaxed into giving an actual, heartfelt apology, in fact, had she the time to really consider what had happened, Llorona would have been quick to blame Yami for it. But in her haste, she had spoken before her nature could get the better of her. She glanced up at Cyren and stepped away a moment later, quick to inspect the bite he had received from his pokemon the moment his hoodie was removed. A frown came over the woman while she took his arm in her hands and began to turn it over curiously. "Are you sure you are okay...?" Asking him was probably going to get her as far as his facial expression did in measuring how much the bite had actually hurt. The man was a wall both physically and emotionally. Still, even with what had happened he managed to force a near embarrassing amount of pink to flood her cheeks, the girl rolling her eyes when she patted his head. She had been completely sarcastic in her earlier remarks but would have been lying to herself for the second time that day if she didn't find both his compliment and actions to be flattering. Llorona had no intention of sharing this information with Cyren however - she was still supposed to be mad at him!

"When did you become such a smarty pants?" He called down from the safety of the warm breezes provided by the ocean. The machop definitely seemed to know what he was talking about - after all, he had easily defeated the rock type Bonsly and the Roggenrola - the latter of which had proven itself as being very strong for his trainer already. But that didn't mean he liked sounding stupid! "Oh-oh! I know this one. There are a bunch of types of Pokemon! Grass... water... Fire...Electric.." Deadeye trailed off, not even understanding why he had tried to begin with. He was well aware of several other types like flying Pokemon, bug types, and ice types - But he didn't know them all. When Rhea called up to him the Rowlet nodded a few times bravely. He wasn't afraid of the water, it just felt weird! Venus brought up his distaste of the ocean, causing Deadeye to swoop down and land on the damp sand, his feet sort of bouncing up and down while he tried in vain to enjoy it. "Grass types need water and sunlight! I just never played in the ocean is all. I'll come swim in a second!" Why he was putting himself to such lengths to prove that he could play in the water was completely beyond the Rowlet... But if Rhea was playing in it, he would too! That is what friends did.

Llorona Braithwaite



"Yeah, I notice that now... I just thought he was a bit skittish, I'm sorry." Being now two apologies deep and possibly setting a record for the entire year, Llorona frowned at the wound he had received. It didn't look all that bad on him at all but given his size, it was still considerable from her standpoint. The woman considered digging into her bag for any article of random attire she might be able to give him to tear up and use to stop the small bleeding. It was the least she could do right? Yet Cyren switched his focus to Yami immediately, causing Llorona to only sigh. If he didn't want to draw any attention to something he deemed small then she would not argue. Plus if it got infected later and he got sick she would get to tend to him! 'Stupid brain! Why is that a thing?' She thought to herself, cringing and deciding that the ocean was suddenly very interesting up until he tried to hand her the surfboard. "Alright Cy, when you finish with your pokemon you come show me what you've got, okay?" Sheepish was not a good look on the female in the black bikini so she was more than thankful he seemed occupied elsewhere. She half carried, half dragged the large board towards the shore, stopping a moment to wiggle her toes in the sand once she found herself ankle deep and giggling at the pleasurable feeling it produced. The rest of this journey was still probably going to suck, that was a near certainty, but if she could occasionally douse her spirits in some surf and sun, the woman reasoned she just might survive the Alola region after all. "Alright. Gotta look for my first wave.. something small to test the board.." Sitting on the waxy surface of her new favorite toy once she found the water to be about hip deep, Llorona cast her eyes on the occasional swell of ocean, watching and waiting intently for several minutes for something worthwhile to pop up. It was only by chance that the girl turned her attention back to the shore out of curiosity when Deadeye made a very distressed noise - green eyes finding Cyren and the monstrous scar he wore she had never fathomed was possible. Sure, she had seen a tiny bit of it when they were at the Pokemon center the night he had given her his hoodie but... seeing it now was more than unsettling. It was frightening. "Neh...Cyren?" She called in a morbid tone. Whatever wave she was looking for could wait- Llorona slipping off of the side of the polished wooden frame and dragging it back towards the shore. She wasn't sure what to say, or if she was even going to say anything. But as gruesome as it was, she needed to see it closer and understand it because someone had hurt her brother, and from the looks of it - badly.

"I-I know that!" Deadeye scoffed at the machop, stamping his little feet into the sand while he continued to try and acclimate himself to the water. Surely he could get over whatever it was that kept him from playing with Rhea if he just tried harder. When Yami was plopped down into the sand, the Rowlet forced himself to take a few steps closer to it - though he didn't get nearly deep enough for the water to even brush the bottom of his feathers. As far as he was concerned, this was still progress even with his low proximity to the ground. "Hi Yami. Coming to play with us?" He asked, not at all expecting a reply from the Kabuto. Of all Pokemon present, Deadeye seemed to be the last to pick up on... whatever it was they were looking at, slowly rotating his head around until he saw the obvious and screeched in surprise. The human was damaged! "I... don't think so." Once the very lame statement was offered, Deadeye tore his gaze away from Cyren just long enough to spot Llorona returning to shore as well. His trainer had spoken. Clearly, she had not known about the scar either? "Nothing is supposed to have marks that scary..."

Llorona Braithwaite


Wading to the shoreline, the bottom half of Llorona's body remained soaked, dripping from the woman while she approached her brother without a word. At first, she merely walked past him, dropping the board into the sand where she was certain the water wouldn't carry it back out - then she turned right around with a most peculiar look on her face. He hadn't thought about it? That was his excuse? The human's reaction while Cyren appeared to be explaining his severe injury away as if it were the bite he had sustained from Yami contrasted vastly to Rhea. He might have fooled a Pokemon but she knew better. "Car accident." She repeated as if fact-checking him. If her small and untoned form had been any indication of her strength up to this point - the limits were shattered when she finally reached Cyren, tugging on his arm with enough force to bring the injury down to her level. Llorona's breath escaped her when she stood center the scar, the girl's hands reaching out at first but never quite making contact with his skin. Part of her felt like even touching it might break him if it was anywhere near as bad as it looked. "It's on your back, how do you know how bad it looks?" Llorona half hissed, letting one of her fingers press itself against his shoulder where the rift seemed to begin. Her hand started to shake a bit while she moved it down along his body, tracing the torn and 'healed' flesh across the center of the wound. She wasn't sad really - a bit disappointed perhaps that he had not told her what had happened sooner. But the majority of her physical motion was the result of rage for whoever it was that had done this to him. By the time she reached the end of the wound, gently running her finger in circles around its edge on his hip - the woman realized she had forgotten to breathe this entire time, her chest heaving a bit with the effort of drawing in a full breath of air into her lungs. There were so many questions she wanted to ask her brother, things she needed to understand! Yet, at the moment she knew everything else needed to wait. The first and only thing she could even think about doing was draping her arms over his shoulders and pressing herself against him in a tight hug. "You are an asshole Cyren Braithwaite. You've been carrying me and my stuff around this whole time." She groaned miserably, resting her face against his neck a moment while she recollected the past few days and everything he had been carrying around - the majority of which had been her own personal items.

Deadeye had been so zoned out watching what was quite literally the first actual form of true and sincere affection Llorona had shown any living thing - that he nearly forgot they were at the beach. When Rhea called him, he continued to watch his trainer for several seconds. She really hadn't known either and was very concerned, not that the Rowlet could blame her... That wound looked permanent. "I'm coming." He stated absently, turning towards the water before he realized that even with how small the Kabuto was - they were still standing in water deep enough for their height to mean he would be very uncomfortable. "I see that. He might have a eye problem but that doesn't make him stupid!" He teased, very carefully taking slow steps into the very shallow water. His feathers plumed immediately in a natural reaction to the ocean. Birds were not meant to swim. "H-hey Yami? Can I sit on your shell? I'll be very still." Deadeye asked curiously, resisting the urge to fly away from the water each and every time he felt it tug and pull against his talons.

Llorona Braithwaite


Even while she embraced the male, Llorona was well aware that she was shaking just a bit in her anger. 'car accident' wasn't a good enough explanation when it mutilated your older brother. When he shifted her enough to return the hug the woman resisted a moment. As far as she was concerned he was still in the dog house so to speak for not telling her of his injury sooner! "Not might. Definitely an asshole." She muttered into his shoulder. Even with the way she felt, and the way Cyren was acting, Llorona couldn't help but feel bad for him, so much so in fact that she physically bit her tongue to prevent any additional questions such as 'Who did this? Where can I find them? How would you like them killed?' Instead, she focused on her brother, giving him an extra squeeze before finally letting go of the male. "I want to believe you. If you weren't at least okay you wouldn't be here... Damaged but not broken, Right?" She asked, half repeating what he said to her with an unusual amount of depression. He didn't have to tell her that it probably had some permanent effects on his body. Even if Cyren hadn't shown any signs of being hurt up to this point, she was well aware that it would be impossible for her let him carry anything of hers for the rest of the trip. When he pressed his lips to her forehead she tried to smirk a bit, reaching out and poking his nose. "I know what I came to the beach for Cy'. But this conversation isn't over mister. I want to talk about it later, okay?" Llorona opted to avoid telling him that she in no way believed he would actually tell her if he started to hurt. He was too calm, too quiet, and too damned stubborn for that. But now that she was aware of his injury there wasn't a doubt in mind that she would pay closer attention to him while they traveled. With about as much reluctance as she could possibly have in regards to her favorite water-based activity, she curled her fingers over his shoulder and gave Cyren a reassuring squeeze before stepping past him and retrieving the board once more. If his typical amount of willingness to tell her things before she discovered them was any indication, she would probably never learn anything of value about the eight years he was missing. Once she found herself hip-deep into the ocean swell once again, Llorona waved to the Pokemon on the shore and Cyren before turning her attention back to the waves. Once she'd had her fun Llorona was fully committing herself to badger Cyren until he told her everything about his travels, good, bad, and ugly as that scar.


Yami didn't have to tell Deadeye twice - in fact, he never technically said it once, but the gesture was well received and understood by the Rowlet who quickly fluttered up a bit above the water and did his best to land gently on the shell of the Kabuto. "My name is Deadeye by the way. Thank you for letting me sit on your shell Yami." The little owl remained completely still to the best of his ability while he stood on the kabuto, trying his best to follow Rhea's example in trying to make him comfortable. If the mon' didn't want to talk he was more than happy to simply enjoy the breeze and water while he watched his trainer. 'She does have feelings I think. For him anyway.' Deadeye thought while his eyes followed her back into the water. Maybe one day she would hug him the same way she hugged Cyren if he got hurt... It was a morbid thought but the Rowlet didn't mind a scar or two if it meant his trainer might like him. When venus mentioned the rest of his own traveling companions, The owl carefully stepped in a tiny circle, choosing not to abuse his ability to have his head on backward so that he could see the others. The Rock type pokemon were clearly about as thrilled with coming down to the water as he had been... The Rattata was actually asleep next to the Roggenrola who had buried itself halfway into the sand... "Oh. I don't think we met this one. Hey!!" He called to the poliwag who seemed so completely lost and confused about its place in the world that it jumped when someone actually took the time to acknowledge it was there. Deadeye cringed in response to his own statement, fearing he may have scared both the Poliwag and Yami, though the former still seemed to sort of awkwardly begin a walk towards the trio anyway. "Me?" the water pokemon asked when it approached, stopping a few feet away and sheepishly waving its tail at them.

Llorona Braithwaite


Some time had passed before Llorona was able to enjoy the water, some of it due to the lack of decent waves provided while they were clearly in low tide, and the vast majority consisting of the woman becoming distracted by her own thoughts whenever an appropriately sized wave did decide to show up. Every so often she caught herself gazing back towards the beach, watching Cyren while he worked with his Rockruff. As much as she wanted to, letting things go was not her strong suit. As time continued to pass, however, Llorona came to her senses - he wouldn't want to talk about it here anyway, and if he caught her sitting and looking so down it would only ruin any chance they had at enjoying their beach day. "Alrighy~ let's see what the Alolan beaches really have to offer." No sooner had the small woman challenged the ocean, that the ocean responded - her pupils widening at the first wave she'd seen all day worth chasing. The tide was clearly about to change yet again and that meant it was showtime! Llorona grinned, laying her form out along the length of the board and beginning to paddle towards the bulge in the ocean before it even manifested itself into that which she was seeking, every action coming quite naturally to her surprise even considering she had not been surfing in quite some time. 'God I hope they are watching.' She thought gleefully, pressing her open palms to the slick surface and pushing herself into a crouched position just as planned. What did NOT go to plan, however, was the size of this particular wave - she had ridden bigger, sure, but Llorona could usually gauge the size of what she was dealing with before it reared an ugly head. "Oh...crap-baskets." For about six whole seconds she probably appeared to have everything under control, perhaps she might have even looked like a professional! But for the very slim duration of her ride as the wave began to loom over her - all she could think about was how terrifying the fall was going to be. The dark haired woman tried to groan but it was swallowed by the crash of the wave overhead, her body dragged down and pushed around mercilessly by the current for several seconds while she attempted to do as trained and avoid hitting her head. That terrible situation never came to pass. Instead of any pain, or even mild discomfort, she felt something soft and fleshy push against her back, driving her against the current and quickly back up to its surface where she broke free and took a deep breath only to begin looking around frantically. There was always a chance that things could still be bad- especially if she had just bumped an angry pokemon when none of her own could possibly help her! "uhhh- Help? I think?"

"Yes you! Hi!" He raised a wing in salute when Venus greeted their new friend but seemed to understand right away that the Poliwag probably wanted a bit of space. This is where Rhea differed. The owl tried not to respond to the clear discomfort touching the Poliwag brought to the creature, chirping in a reassuring manner while they were introduced to the other water type. "N-nice to meet you all, why are you touching me?" The Poliwag shivered when Rhea began to snuggle against her. It felt amazing, the kitty was so soft! But that didn't mean she had been ready for any physical contact right away. Turning a bright shade of... not blue, the little water type seemed only to grow more embarrassed when a few bubbles quickly floated away from her lips in a near automatic fashion. "I-I'm sorry!" Breaking away from the group even though the worst of it was already past - The little Poliwag ran - or more accurately, waddled quickly into the ocean where she jumped in and began to swim anywhere that was away from the others. She had only one chance to say hello and be normal in front of her new friends and she had messed it up! "I didn't even say my name - so stupid! I'm pui, Pui!" She self-scolded, releasing her frustrations where no one else could hear her. And then she saw Llorona. Pui doubted the girl remembered her from their home back in the Unova, and if she had, the human definitely hadn't shown it. 'I was a lot smaller then I guess..' Getting distracted even when it was clear that her trainer probably needed some help could probably have summarized the Poliwag nicely, but once the thought passed she flew through the ocean current with her tail propelling her along nicely and 'bumped' Llorona before the female could hit the bottom. From what Pui knew from her time at the aquarium - humans could not breathe underwater! So she pushed the human girl back to the surface quickly before promptly returning to her previous thoughts without missing a beat, the rounded body swimming in tight circles while she scolded herself for the embarrassing moment that had just come to pass.

Llorona Braithwaite


Arm over arm, kick over kick - Llorona didn't wait to see whatever it was that had pushed her to the surface. She also did not exactly B line herself to the shore either. "Where did it go?" She asked herself, frantically searching for the board that she had fallen from not two minutes earlier with little success. She couldn't have lost the board, Cyren just bought it for her! The more she splashed around in a panic looking for it though, the more obvious it became that it had been dragged out into deeper waters. After continuing to paddle around for another ten minutes to be sure, her head snapped in Cyren's general direction as he called to her, risking a shy wave and calling back. "I'm fine! Be right there." Llorona muttered the latter half, making her way to the shoreline. Maybe he wouldn't notice the lack of a seven-foot piece of wood when she returned? As she waded her way out of the ocean and onto the beach, the woman took as much of her hair as she could into her hands and wrung it out, shaking her form a bit to remove the access water and rejoining the group. He was definitely going to notice. "S-so... How's the bonding going? He looks friendly-ish now." Llorona offered pathetically, watching the Rockruff but, still being quite wary of the creature herself, kept a bit of distance from it.

"Looks like we both got some skittish ones on our teams huh?" Deadeye commented absently when the Poliwag fled. He wanted to help his teammate but there was no way he was going to chase the water type into the ocean either so... Snapping his attention back when Rhea seemed to cry out a bit, Deadeye plumed his feathers at the Rockruff in warning. "She's only jumpy cuz you bit her really hard!" He scolded, ignoring a bit of his fear long enough to hop off of Yami's shell and splash down into the water beside Venus and in front of Rhea. "You better be nice this time around or... or... You won't have a wrong foot to get off on next time!" It was not a good insult, nor was it cool, but it was the best the Rowlet could do. His promise to protect Rhea from the Rockruff still stood, even if his body shivered at the water brushing the underside of his feathers. When Venus stepped forward and 'shook hands' with the newcomer, The Rowlet chirped in confusion, squawking aloud when the others, including the litten - suddenly seemed to accept the creature on a whim. "What? Nyeh..... I'm Deadeye - but I am NOT on your team." The last bit was added both because of his distrust of the Rockruff and the spot of jealousy he still felt for Cyren. His own trainer still sort of lacked in most areas.

Swimming around in the open ocean was fun once Pui ran out of insults for herself, lazily propelling her small, rounded body through the water and watching her trainer swim about as well as any human. "They always look so funny trying to swim. Needs more tailfin!" She spoke to herself, watching the human do... Whatever she was doing for some time until eventually, Llorona paddled to shore. The Poliwag knew that it would have to return to shore itself sooner or later but the mere thought of that embarrassment caused Pui to whine and let the current carry her for a few moments. Carry her right up until she bumped her head on a floating piece of wood. "Oh, The human is a litterer?! Why is my trainer littering!" Blowing bubbles in annoyance, the Poliwag burst from the ocean and landed on the back of the board. Her balance for having no arms would probably have been classified as impossible if anyone had actually seen it. Once there, the little water type stuck her tail into the water and paddled with all of the ferocity of a pokemon who had seen an injustice done to nature! Her trainer was going to be scolded for this, even if Pui wasn't sure how she was going to do this with as shy as she was.

Llorona Braithwaite


The moment she was handed a towel the woman dried her hair out to the best of her abilities. A cold body she could deal with, but cold and wet hair was not a fun experience. After finishing with her hair and patting herself dry, Llorona shivered a bit in the breeze. It was still warm outside - she doubted it ever actually got cold here, but the ocean itself had been a bit cooler than she'd imagined to begin with. "Strange? Strange how?" The towel found its way around her waist snugly while she questioned Cyren, quick to change the subject to anything that wasn't 'where is that super expensive surfboard I got you?'. One quick glance at the Rockruff seemed to indicate it was friendly enough, even kind of cute as far as wolf rock types went. But there was something a bit standoffish about the pokemon that she just couldn't place. "Yeah- he was definitely the unfriendliest when we first met him... And I'm getting along with who again?" Her eyes followed the length of Cyren's arm out to the sea, twitching a bit when they caught sight of the Poliwag steadily fighting the current on her board! All at once the tense feeling in her body gave way to slumped shoulders and a sigh of relief. The woman even laughed nervously as 'Pui' finally hopped off of it and began to push the piece of wood in her direction. This was not an easy task for a pokemon with no hands or arms. "O-oh! Yeah....Eh, YOU? Good job out there! Keep at it and you'll be as good as me someday!" If Llorona had poured sarcasm any thicker than she was when the human scooped up her rather frantic pokemon and hugged it to herself, she would have drowned. Still, even if it was extremely exaggerated - Llorona was genuinely happy to see the Poliwag had helped her out, possibly twice since the little water type's skin definitely felt the same as what had bumped her up to the surface when she'd fallen earlier. "You are a good girl! I am definitely liking you a lot~!..... And yes, please tell mom I am bonding with my pe-Pokemon." Happy with the beach? yes. Thrilled by her poliwag returning the board to her? Absolutely! But that didn't mean she wasn't going to try everything in her power to get out of the Alola region as quickly as possible.

"Cuz'! My trainer is friends with your trainer. And I am friends with Rhea." He stated proudly, puffing out his chest when Rhea nuzzled him. If anything, her affection only made Deadeye that much more brave, both in regards to the Rockruff and the uneasy feeling of the water washing over his talons. Rhea's reasoning, while completely possible given that Cyren was an amazing human being, and definitely a better trainer than his own, still didn't quite sit right with the Rowlet who chirped a bit in warning at the Rockruff - narrowing his eyes at the hound when it turned tail and walked away. He would need to keep an eye on that one. He wasn't going to let anything bad happen to Rhea or Venus so long as he could stand up! "He really is... I think he might be being sarcastic. Oh, Hi Poliwag!" He hadn't wanted to change topics, he liked having Rhea behind him. Deadeye liked being needed by anyone! But the little water type did not look happy at all, driving her face into the board and pushing it right past them to Llorona.

"Hey! Trainer! Trainer!!" Paddling the board to shore had been one thing, but pushing it through the sand with her mouth!? By the time Pui got the board to Llorona's feet, she was exhausted, standing on top of it and trying her best not to blow bubbles while she scolded Llorona for leaving such a thing adrift in the ocean! Of course, it was never made more clear to Pui than at that moment - that humans could not understand her. The water type pokemon struggled in Llorona's arms for all of four seconds, blushing tremendously. Why did everyone feel the need to touch her?! Her little legs kicked against the hug a few moments even while the awkward struggle began to fade. She was too tired to do anything by lay against Llorona's chest and... receive praise? Pui blinked up at her trainer while the woman continued to go on about how good she was and how much she was liked. 'I think she got the wrong message.' Pui thought, the physical contact finally getting the better of her as a few bubbles slipped out around Llorona and caused the poor pokemon to shudder in embarrassment. Her trainer was laughing now!
