Sticking the freshly-retained ball into her purse after taking a sip of her drink, Desiree wondered just how much more of the sunny heat she could take. But there was an ever-expanding canvas of seashell-embedded sand beneath her, so she knew she had to at least find one centerpiece for a wind chime on this sunny day. All eyes on the swimming idol before her, she'd be sure to update him on what he may or may not have seen.[break][break]

"Mhm! There was a lil' hurt pokemon floating around, but they're fine now~!" Water slapping her back as she'd swim upright, she'd notice yet another glimmer beneath them for a moment. Blessed by the sunlight, she had the urge to dive down pulsating within her mind but would express momentary hesitation. "The first conch is yours, then!" She'd nod excitedly, dipping below the surface entirely to get that glimmer before it was too late.[break][break]

Head first swimming below, the light from the sun was just perfect illumination for what resided within the depths. A few wild fishies would swim by here and there, but as she got lower, she saw it. Sitting in the sand and causing the glimmer was a bundle of two twin conch shells and a few tinier variants. Scooping them up into her arms, she'd be quick to resurface, hands full of the carved spires of nature.[break][break]

With an excited glimmer in her eyes, she'd bridge the gap between herself and Jade that had formed. "I found two! We get lil' matchy ones~!" Her hand would extend outward towards the idol, dropping it into his grasp if he was accepting alongside a few others. This conch would be the best centerpiece for one of her crafts projects, maybe even the one she'd give to Xiao.[break][break]

Beside them would float by what Desiree first thought was a kid on a homemade raft, but once she did the doubletake, she noticed it instead was a pokemon. A relaxing Aromatisse at that; it would be surfing if it could have, she was sure, but it was slumped on the flotation device. "Huh, that's new~!" Desiree would giggle, swimming closer with a pokeball she had grabbed from her purse. Lulled to sleep by the waves, the wild fairy type would remain sleeping as she'd hold onto the edge of the raft, tossing the ball toward the Aromatisse in an attempt to catch it.[break][break]

Just who in their right mind would but the fairy on a floatie? Unless she did on her own; who was Desiree to judge?
