It was later into the evening at this point, and as much as he enjoyed the sun, Bo was happy to feel the cooling off the breeze on his back. A nice, long swim was imminent—perhaps well into the evening. But, for now, a winding down game of horseshoes.

A metal post stuck out of the sand, and they faced the waves of the ocean, so that Cloyster’s particularly hazardous attacks wouldn’t harm anyone still on the beach.

A SPIKE CANNON was shot, propelling the horseshoe placed around it towards their target. A miss, unfortunately. Bo sighed, sipped a beer, and went to pick it up, tossing it back the other way and ringing it easily with a clang.

Cloyster gave a disappointed growl. “Sorry, bud.” He shrugged.

Dewgong, who sat in the sand nearby awaiting its turn, borked an applause for Bo, who she favored out of the two.

Maybe someone would join them eventually.

this was... different.

[break][break] of all the battles he had taken place, this was just yet another one with an untraditional format. though, this was a relief to jayden who had spent the better part of the afternoon chasing a soccerball along a sandpit. he would be the first to tell you — not as easy as it initially seemed.

[break][break] rocket's rookie training regimen could've been easier.

[break][break] jayden lines up with the others and finds himself standing next to a man that he is unfamiliar with, boruta maher . he glances as the other as his pokemon misses but he makes the throw with ease. jayden blinks, impressed.

[break][break] "nice shot," he comments.

[break][break] the horseshoe is heavy in his hand as he makes the throw. beside him, his loudred STOMPS against the ground, hoping to give their opponents a distraction.

Bo looked over, sunset glinting in his eyes a moment and causing him to squint. Through a not-unfriendly glare, he smiled.

“Thanks!”

He then stepped out of the way for Cloyster to take its shot. SPIKE CANNON launched the horseshoe again, and it overshot.

Bo went to pick it up. The spike sailed across the short remainder of the beach and out to the waves to skip across them, disappearing.

“Wanna play?” the ranger asked.

Dewgong borked excitedly, encouraging.

play? weren't they playing already? or perhaps this was a warm-up.

[break][break] either way. "sure." jayden wasn't the type of person to argue, especially for something as little as this. his head tilts to the side. "what did you have in mind?"

[break][break] the horseshoe feels heavy in his hand as he holds it, waiting for the other to give directions.

It was a warmup. Dewgong hadn’t been participating. She wanted to. Her eyes batted at all present, pleading for the opportunity to demonstrate her skill.

Bo smiled.

“Normal horseshoes really, but we have to include everyone now. She’s getting antsy.” He nodded over to the Dewgong.

“Rotate, three versus three?”

Dewgong joined him on their side, and was given her first throw. She picked it up in her mouth, tossed it into the air. An ICE SHARD sent it flying towards the post, ringing around it with a sharp clang. Bo whistled.

“Guess she didn’t need a warmup.”

understanding dawns on the rocket, now that it's been explained to him. he nods in agreement. "sounds good to me," he says, gaze shifting to his own two pokemon. with a low whistle, both the haxorus and loudred come to stand near him. the latter is still antsy, stomping about in the stand, eager to begin.

[break][break] at the sound of a metal clang from the dewgong, lyubov is quick to jump up. jayden hands her the horseshoe, and the pokemon throws it up in the air. an ECHOED VOICE arcs through the air, crashing into the horseshoe -- this one goes flying, splashing into water.

[break][break] too far.

[break][break] jayden unclasps his hands from around his ears. "guess mine did."

Dewgong borked a laugh at the overshot horseshoe and then leapt after it, hopping on blubber and diving into the water to retrieve helpfully.

When it resurfaced, it made its way all the way back, and then delivered it back to their opponents. Then, as the horseshoe on the other end was readied, another SPIKE CANNON was shot off, and… again, the horseshoe was launched out into the ocean.

‘GONG!’

The seal was off, towards waves, a second time…

Good thing there was another horseshoe.

"loudred!" lyubov cackles, smacking her fists together in glee. she stomps against the ground as a laughter rumbles out from her.

[break][break] jayden looks for another horseshoe, luckily finding a stack of them nearby. he picks one up and hands it over to kata. "okay, your turn. not too far, now." he shares a look of understanding with the haxorus — don't fail.

[break][break] kata is much more serious and determined than her teammate. a dragon dance pulses around her as the horseshoe is hung atop one of her tusks. she leans forward and then swings wide — the metal piece spins through the air before langing on the target with a mighty clang.

[break][break] a look of approval flickers behind violet eyes.

Dewgong bound back onto the beach, thankfully not hit by the horseshoe incoming in that direction, as it was ringed around the post successfully.

“Nice!” Bo called out, always having been one to show good sportsmanship.

Dewgong handed the horseshoe in her mouth of to him, and he swung with his right arm again—easily making a perfect shot. He was good at this, as with most sports. The Mahers were an athletic family, although CIAN MAHER would beat him out in a foot race any day of the week.

He gave a laid back smile and looked over at his opponent, taking a swig.

“Hey, I forgot to introduce myself, man. Name’s Bo.”

"thanks." his gaze shifts briefly to boruta maher before turning back to his pokemon. he clicks a bit underbreath, which has the haxorus running across the sand to pick up the horseshoe. with a clever twist, it tosses the item into the air and it lands at jayden's feet.

[break][break] his head cants towards the other as metal meets metal with another clang. "you're good at this," he observes, before blinking. ah — "michail. nice to meet you."

[break][break] there's something about the other's name that rings with familiarity —

[break][break] "is bo short for something?"

[break][break] excitedly, his loudred hops about with stomp before throwing the horseshoe forward - this time with both hands. it lands a little shy of the target. lyubov scowls.

Bo grinned over at Michail. “Hah. Thanks.”

“You too.” He took another swig of his beer, lazily grabbing the horseshoe and handing it off to Dewgong again, who took it excitedly and began maneuvering into optimal position for aim.

Then, his opponent was asking about his name, and Bo thought absolutely nothing of it, because it was a fairly common question.

“Yeah: Boruta. Everyone’s always called me Bo, though. Makes sense. Kind of a weird name.”

ICE SHARD sent the horseshoe ringing around the post with a ‘clang’. Bo clapped, and the seal seemed to smile proudly.

boruta.

[break][break] the name is unfamiliar. "that makes sense," he says with a nod. "i don't think boruta is a weird name, though." arguably, people could say his name was weird.

[break][break] jayden takes the stand next. he decides - this time - he will have a shot. he reaches down to grab a nearby horseshoe, feeling the smooth metal texture in his hand before taking aim and throwing. it swings through the air with a high-pitched cling as it locks around the target.

[break][break] his loudred stomps against the sand, cheering him on.

Bo gave a light huff of laughter. “Thanks.” He’d never met anyone with his name, but surely there was someone out there.

Cloyster was up, and this time, it decided to go with a different move. Perhaps having become frustrated, SHELL SMASH sent the horseshoe flying and—shockingly—right on target, with another decisive metal clang.

Another sip of beer was taken, and Bo ran a hand through his hair, enjoying the breeze.

“There ya go. Ya got one!”

Cloyster grinned, proud of itself.

lyubov stomps against the ground once more, but rather than be a congratulatory movement, this one is full of frustration and scowling annoyance. how could they let themselves be one-upped by that seal!

[break][break] the loudred stomps forward against the pavement and picks up a horseshoe, using a hyper voice against the metal. it swings through the air and sure enough, lands clumsily on the target. not as cool or accurate -- but seems satisfying enough for the normal type as he walks back, smiling smugly at the cloyster.
