He’d promised her surfing and stew the last time that they had seen one another. Unfortunately, by turn of events that couldn’t have been predicted, blue carrots were… permanently off the menu. They hadn’t survived long enough to see the light outside of Shoal Cave, let alone make it to a pot of boiling water. [break][break]

Chloe would have to come to terms with never experiencing blue carrot stew in her lifetime. [break][break]

Instead, Angelo arrived at Lilycove beach with a generously filled cooler bag, enough food inside to satisfy bellies that would surely be hungry after an afternoon spent tackling waves. Sandwiches, little plastic tubs with pasta salad and snacks he’d thrown in that weren’t too much of a fuss to eat on the beach. Plenty of bottles and cans that were primarily alcoholic in nature were shoved in, too… [break][break]

But most importantly, there wasn’t a trace of egg sandwiches – green or otherwise – in sight. Thankfully, they were clean out on the Sotally Tober. A terrible, terrible shame. [break][break]

And he’d brought something else unpromised, too. A last-minute addition. [break][break]

Hey, Chloe. Put your stuff over here. We've got a designated bag-watcher on duty,” Angelo says when Chloe arrives, peering up at the brunette as he crouches in front of his Togekiss, Ankaa blinking sleepily up at him, as he places their belongings beside her. She wasn’t going anywhere. Far too preoccupied warming unhatched pokemon eggs, her feathers happily fluffed as she sinks over their large spotted shells. [break][break]

I brought a tag-along.” His gaze flickers towards said blonde gate crasher, hint of a smirk hidden behind his t-shirt as he pulls it off a tanned, scarred torso. “Sky promised she'd do her best not to slow us down if I let her come with. Hope you don't mind.” There was no such promise made. [break][break]

In the distance, floating atop the waves with the sun beating down on her back, Nereid waits…

For someone who knows perfectly well that she has no skill in the kitchen, Skyler's stubborn insistence to bring her infamous egg sandwiches everywhere is downright alarming. Known throughout her circle of friends to be a health hazard (if not straight up poisonous), the egg sandwiches haven't - thankfully - made an appearance today. Damn you, Angelo.

She had managed to sneak some tequila into the cooler, however, hidden among cans of beer and other such drinks. The glass bottle glints under the blazing hot hoennian sun, bringing a mischievous curl to her lips as she spots it. 

Curled around the Togekiss - and her most recent brood of speckled eggs - is a large cobalt dragon. Her eyes open into a fierce glare at the approaching humans, and for a moment she curls tighter around the Togekiss in a protective manner, the shadow of a large, scarred ruby wing falling over the winged fairy momentarily. 

Only when Skyler comes into view does the Salamence relax, smoke pouring out of her nostrils and blowing away in the wind. 

"Sorry about Atalanta, she's very protective of Ankaa." Her teasing words summon an embarrassed grunt from the dragon, whose eyes close in feigned slumber. Smiling brightly in Chloe's direction, Skyler reaches her hand out for a handshake. "Skyler Dross, ship captain and treasure hunter. Hope you don't mind me intruding. And don't mind Angelo, he's just afraid I'll kick his ass." Which she would. 

The grin that is flashed Angelo's way as the captain turns and makes her way to the crashing waves is nothing short of taunting, practically daring him to contradict her statement.

Beyond the initial surf another Mantine awaits. Alata floats in gentle ocean waters, looking entirely too calm and peaceful for the chaos which would surely ensue...

It was a beautiful sunny day. Which meant one thing, sunscreen. When Chloe first arrived to hoenn she was stupid enough to not use it, because of it she got a painful reminder as to why the cream was even made. Ever since that day Chloe vowed to always use it. She had applied a lot more then she actually needed, the cream made her skin tone a lot lighter then it actually was.

"Hey Angelo, good to see you." Chloe greeted as she approached, a kommo-o trailing close behind her, it's golden scales shimmering in the suns ray. Looking towards the spot he pointed out Chloe nodded a thanks, setting down a eco bag which had been stuffed with snacks and bottles of water. The ranger would smile towards the togekiss and salamence, trying her best to not disturb them.

Her gaze gravitated towards Skyler when she had introduced herself. "It's no problem, I find it cute." Chloe smiles accepting the handshake as she gives the captains hand a good squeeze. "Chloe, it's nice to meet you, Captain." She offered the blonde woman a small wink, "I think you are fully capable of that." Now walking towards the water she pulled out jett's pokeball to release her into the waters. She quickly swam towards the other mantines, happily greeting them with the wave of her antennas.

She then glanced back towards Angelo and Skyler, taking notice of a scar that looked relatively recent. Her gaze was concerned as she asked the question, "Did something happen?" Meanwhile her kommo-o settled down near the other pokemon, curling up to bask in the sunlight.

What was supposed to be a chilled afternoon Mantine surfing at the beach was quickly spiralling into something decidedly less easy-going. [break][break]

Angelo can’t say that he’s sad to see the peaceful atmosphere shift. Air becoming charged from the introduction of a new variable into a tried and tested dynamic, favourable waves turning just the slightest bit rougher when a certain seafarer decides to open her mouth. [break][break]

Leaning into it with an encouraging reveal of sharp white, much like how he did when the winds turned turbulent in flight – provoking it, even – the courier flashes a wordless message towards the ever-proud captain. Accepting the challenge.[break][break]

An enticing grin such as hers, made all the more tempting with the intently insolent words that breathe past their devious curve, couldn’t pass him by into the realms of rejection. And not just because doing so would result in his immediate loss. [break][break]

Don’t feed the ego, Chloe or Alata won’t be able to carry the weight of both it and Sky. I want to send our dear ol’ captain to the deep on even terms.”[break][break]

Throwing his shirt atop his bag, he leaves their belongings in his dove’s care when Skyler and Chloe turn their attentions towards the ocean, their Mantine congregating with wiggling antenna in the shallows. [break][break]

Although Ankaa is far too absorbed, nuzzling pristine white feathers further into Atalanta as she blissfully dozes in her nest of warm dragon scales and unhatched babes, to notice. Angelo throws the pair a soft parting smile, fondness there for them both. [break][break]

Feet splashing as he steps into the lapping tide, eyes of a similar shade flicker towards Chloe, pulling his attention away from his Mantine when she presses her forehead against his flattened palm in greeting. “Huh? Oh, this?” A hand lifts to rest upon his chest, touching jagged lines that stretch across collarbone and curve inwards towards his sternum – still slightly pink, giving away their newness. [break][break]

It would make sense Chloe would notice, given the nature of their get-togethers. [break][break]

It’s nothing. Just got a little too close and personal with a wild pokemon recently. Don't think it was interested in being friends.” It wasn’t entirely a lie, much like how his casual smile was not completely forced in his practiced deflection. Angelo doesn’t look at Skyler.[break][break]

Instead, he climbs atop Nereid who dips a wing to help him up onto her large stretch of back. Both eager to get to the waves after their break. “You two ready to go?

It's an easy thing for Captain Dross to turn her back on land and head deeper into the ocean, past the rushing surf to find her own Mantine waiting for her, antennae twitching in excitement as others of the same kind gather around.

It isn't nearly as easy for Captain Dross to ignore the taunting words that slip past a certain courier's mouth, poking at her pride and competitive spirit in a way that sends her pulse racing. Teeth flash out sharply at Angelo from among the waves, equal parts challenge and threat - and, perhaps, hidden beneath those an alluring invitation to follow her deeper into the ocean... 

Her words would have gotten lost in the roaring of the waves, so Skyler lets the insolent curl of her lips speak for her. 

The smooth movement of climbing atop Alata is interrupted by Angelo's statement, the white lie escaping his lips casually, too casually. Silver eyes snap to meet his, only to find that he's turned his face away from her, and is instead busying himself with the preparations for Mantine surfing. 

But she doesn't keep silent. 

"Oh, I remember that. I think Angelo lost a fight with - what was it? An Igglibuff?" There's no way an Igglibuff would've made those scratch marks, but Skyler isn't easily dissuaded from her teasing. Her smile sharpens. "Or was it a Togepi?" 

Finding her balance takes her a minute, sea legs kicking in as Alata moves where deep sea waves swell into surfable curves. Her smile is genuine and friendly as she peeks at Chloe from over her shoulder.

"How long have you been Mantine surfing, Chloe?"

The mood changes and all chloe could do was smile, nod and laugh. It was the most appropriate reaction she could think of. "oh right, don't worry I'm sure we can keep up with her." Chloe tells Angelo chuckling a little louder as she ties short brown hair into a pony tail to prevent it from becoming a mess like last time.
[break][break]
She also heads into the ocean, the cool tides refreshing her from the suns heat. Offering a wave towards Angelo's and Skylers Mantine, she steps onto Jett who eagerly swam over to give her trainer a ride. Eyes glancing back towards Angelo when he explains how he got the scar.
[break][break]
She didn't find the story very convincing, it didn't seem like a scar a pokemon would give but decided to go along with it. "oh... well it's a sick scar if anything." She smiles, her fingers pressed against another pokeball and with a flash a surskit appeared happily skidding across the blue waters.
[break][break]
"you know i'm not surprised.. they are pretty scary despite their cute looks. Don't blame you for losing Angelo." She laughs lightheartedly and directs Jett to swim further out, her head turning to answer Skyler's question. "Not long, the first time I attempted it was with Angelo. " Her expression brightens as she recalls the day, they didn't do an over the gyarados but it was still a memorable experience.
[break]
"What about you skyler?"
