EARLY JULY, SLATEPORT BEACH — A swarm of Palafin and Finizen weave in and out of the Hoennian brine. The sun gilds their slick backs as they breach the waves. Over a week, they frequent Slateport's coastline, chirping to each other with every leap. Perhaps, one will leap right into your pokeball?

what will you do?

Now, listen up.” Sheriff Michael Navidson says to a reporter on the scene of the latest swarm. He’s shown up as an old favor to Slateport PD. Someone has to help manage the horde. It seems like the precinct wants him running PR more than anything.[break][break]
I’m no superman, but I’ll tell you this: we’ve got the situation under control. I’ve dealt with spiders, man. These super dolphins ain’t squat. They’ll move on before you know it.”[break][break]
Is there any truth to the report that you’ve got the straightest fastball throw in the League, Sheriff Navidson?” This reporter asks with a glint of mischief in her eyes.[break][break]
See for yourself.” Pulling out a pokeball, he turns, aims it at the swarm, and throws. Maybe he’ll catch himself a boy wonder.

Upon seeing the swarming Palafins and Finizen in the ocean waters and some were on the hot beach sands, the woman looks down to her Gengar when he tries to get close towards the heroic looking fish Pokemon. “They do look like heroes on those popular Saturday morning cartoons, right?” The ghost type nods a bit though he tries to imagine himself wearing a cape and a mask while flying through the city streets fighting crime.[break][break]

These Pokemon were like super men if they were as strong as they are. “Don’t get too close, they could be a bit dangerous if you bother them too much.” She warns Kage though judging by the Gengar’s curiosity, the princess would have to reel him back in for him to not get hurt.[break][break]

Kee was listening to some music. "Spiderman's control and Batman with his fists, but I'm not looking for someone with superhuman gifts..." Something Just Like This by none other than Niky Racz. The blonde really wanted to listen to it with , preferably on another date. Maybe he'll surprise his boyfriend at Lilycove? And eat/offer his services if the lad was hiring? It was tempting...but he'd like to earn a gym badge maybe before then. Right now, he was watching the Palafin and Finizen swarm. They were adorable! And having another water type to go diving with would be super helpful. And so, he got out Vikavolt, and hopefully one would be ready to be a new friend of his!

DESIREE BLOOMS Avatar


Taking a leisurely stroll upon the coast of Slateport, Desiree wanted to see the pack of Palafin and Finizen that was rumored to be swimming by with her own eyes- not just the camera footage, but the real thing. Some of them were rumored to have markings that resembled hearts on their chest, but the cutest quirk of them had to be their rumored ability to sense the emotions of those around them with ultrasonic waves- at least, that's what the search bar told the pinkette before her arrival to the sunny shore. Soaking up the rays of sunlight as she would walk through the waves that crashed upon the sandbar, her eyes would twinkle as she would peer out toward the cerulean horizon.

"Cleffa, let me know if you spot the cuties~! ♡" she would request of the pink bundle of joy that rode upon her shoulder, letting out a high-pitched squeal of excitement. Starlight the Cleffa wished to meet yet another friend, its eyes scanning ever so frivolously for what it presumed to be a fin in the water.

Desiree was also on the lookout for fins that would bob in the water, hoping one would come close enough to let her add them to the party. Smoke fluttered out of her lips like an array of white butterflies, a dainty green lantern hanging from a silver chain clanging in the wind within her grasp, all eyes would be pointed toward the curve of the world in front of her and all that spanned in between the two. It would be nothing short of a symbol of hope.

The boat bobs gently with the passage of the Palafin swarm, alerting its captain who stumbles out of the cabin where she'd been sleeping a hangover off.

Usually, Skyler would spend the nights much closer to Lilycove, but yesterday's job had required her presence (and that of an artifact she'd pilfered from the ocean floor) in the Oceanic Museum.

One thing leads to another, and she'd ended up grabbing a few drinks with the scientists. Crazy bunch. It'd taken superwoman-level strength to drag them all back to the institute in one piece - and preferably without getting mugged. 

Skyler passes her fingers over her unruly mass of hair, frowning when it catches on stubborn knots. Above, a particularly nimble Palafin jumps out of the water and over the boat like it was taunting her. 

Her eyes narrow. Oh, is that how it was?

Searching the cabin reveals a couple Pokeball, which she lobs at the next Palafin/Finizen that has the audacity to jump over her boat.

Icarus walks along the lengthy boardwalk road of Fortree. Gwen, his most endearing and loyal Absol friend, Trotted happily alongside him with a large slab of steak between her jaws. Icarus smiles warmly as she trots in front of him and does a little circle as they approach their spacious home. All the sudden a black streak crosses his vision as Rover, his poochyena, sprints and yanks on the steak in Gwens mouth.[break]
"Rover! Slow down! You aren't the Flash!" Icarus laughs as the two start playing tug-a-war with the steak in their mouths. Soon Gwen got the upper hand by dragging Rover to the edge of the platform and whipping her head around so he flew off the edge, the only thing keeping him from falling was his jaw on the steak. She did this a few times before fear was instilled in Rovers mind and he let go before she could yank him off the edge again.[break]
"Alright you two. Get inside." Icarus laughs at the exchange then ushers his pokemon back inside, Rovers tail tucked under his bum as Gwen growls at him. [break]

[attr="class","pokkenger"]

there was something about the way that the palafin carried themselves that almost resonated with Kazimir. At first he thought it was their tough looking physique as some of them strutted around the sandy beaches, but upon closer inspection it was something a little more subtle. They seemed almost superhuman with the way they walked with their heads held high and their chests puffed out. It was almost like they were in a constant superhero pose standing tall.

In a way one could say that the two of them shared a bit of heroic spirit or at least the aesthetic, after all Kazimir knew a thing or two about being a masked hero around these parts. So with a grin on his face like a kid reading an exciting comic book. "Alright fellas! Let's see if we can't work up a good sweat today!" He called out as he threw the Pokeball and ran after the Pokemon as they took a moment to stop and look at the man rush them down and a few of the Palafins met him with fists and fins ready to rumble.

"Aw... that's adorable." He said, leaning his arms over the stem of his bicycle's handlebar in order to peer down on some cute little dolphins splashing near the water's edge.

His quite appreciation of the babies was interrupted by a large splash, salty sea water hitting him in the face as a large, muscle bound Dolphin suddenly hero-landed before him, shoulders squared up as it flexed its pecs at him.

"That's terrible on the knees, you know." John said while sea water dripped down his face and hat, reaching into the bike's basket for a net ball.

FLOATING ALONG THE SLATEPORT WAVES ON HER SURFBOARD, Selena is waiting for the water to get a little harsher. The swarm of the Palafins and Finizens help create waves for her to surf, but nothing is quite large enough for Selena to ride. Because of the long wait, she is being entertained instead by a Palafin who poses like the PRINCESS OF THE AMAZON that it is at the other end of her board.

Surfing is her chosen getaway after a stressful weekend brought by her little trip to Galar. When she realized the past twenty years were nothing but a mere minute of her life in the real world, fatigue and stress comes crashing back to her. The only way to destress is to play.

And she hopes these dolphins will play with her even after today.

What does it mean to be a hero? Is saving other or protecting the weak and helpless? Adel has been taking herself that question even since the event of Galar. Those her remember were hazy something weren't and she moved to on. The girl looked over the beach seeing a lot Palafin splash and chattering themselves. [break][break]

Some would even get dangerously close to the shoreline. Maybe they were trying to show off how brave they are? These pokemon were no superman or superwoman even with the way they act but least that had confident in themselves. The ranger chuckled moved towards to the water edge. Offer a little fish to one of the dolphin pokemon. It seems happy and let her pat it's head. Maybe this was the start of something?

[attr="class","star2ina"]Every hero needs a villain.[break][break]

That's what they say, anyway. But even if she's not the villainous type, even if she's just here to fill a role, she's still here, ain't she? And that's what counts.[break][break]

"C'mon, give 'em hell!" She shouts over the waves in her deepest baritone, a voice befitting an evil-doer. Unpracticed, unhoned. But still, it's the effort, commitment to the bit, that really sells it. Whether it's good or bad doesn't matter half as much as the spirit behind it. [break][break]

"I wanna see 'em captured alive!" It's probably a reference to a shounen anime she caught on TV as a kid. That, or she picked it up when she read the occasional Batman comic for lack of anything else in the house. She's gonna see these heroes thwarted, one way or another. It's only a matter of time, til they fall into her grasp...[break][break]

*yawn*[break][break]

The giant catfish at the shore stares at the sea, sleepy. It's not sure what she's saying. It's tuning out that voice, gazing at the ocean, enjoying the view. The first day off it's had in weeks, and it doesn't gotta listen to anyone.[break][break]

"That's right! Beat 'em, turn 'em to paste!"[break][break]

She shouts at the sky, knee deep in the waters as the Palafin crest the waves. Her words are caught in the sea wind and carried away, not to be heard. She's really getting into it now.[break][break]

PALAFIN SWARM (STARRY SUMMERTIDE)

 On the balcony of a hotel, overlooking the sea...

She was a silhouette against the golden rectangle of the bedroom’s light.

Bare foot, bare a few other things, she leaned over the railing and watched the swarm sputter by with a… less-than-enthused expression.

So this is just one of the many strange quirks of Hoenn.

She’d never actually had to catch a pokemon before. The others had been assigned.

So she straightened up, reared back her arm, and tossed one out like it was mjolnir, raring to return.

(And there was no arm hair, so there was no drag.)

Luke was not the type to cling to vestiges of the past. That, he felt, was strictly an old person thing to do-- and he was not an old person.

But the Palafin, and the Finizen around them, reminded him of home. He’d always been partial to their species.

Back home, he’d donated large sums of money to protecting waters and establishing marine reserves around Paldea. Like a venerable AQUAMAN-- if Aquaman was actually Bruce Wayne. Which, he supposed, was an apt metaphor.

He sat on his surfboard and watched them play in the water around him, taking a brief moment to reflect, though he would never admit to doing so.

Sometimes, even bundles of energy like Julia needed a moment to just sit by the water and watch the wild Pokémon.

[break][break]A swarm of the dolphin-like Finizen and Palafin swam near Slateport Beach, chirping to each other as they playfully breached the waves. They were so cute! Julia didn't really get their evolution, though. As far as she could see, the only difference was the heart-shaped marking on its chest. Maybe there was, like, a hidden secret power in that heart? If there was, none of the Palafin in the water were showing it off, content to play among the Finizen.

[break][break]Oh, well. Julia couldn't exactly be disappointed when she was just chilling, herself.

[break][break]Something began to sound odd about the Pokémon's chirps. After a moment, Julia realized that distressed cries were mingling with the playful ones. A large shadow under the waves approached the school of Finizen and Palafin. Something red and blue momentarily bobbed above the water: Tentacool! They must have come to feed on this abundant swarm.

[break][break]As much as Julia felt sorry for these cute dolphins, it was the natural order at work. If she stopped predators from hunting, they'd die off. That was one of the hardest lessons she'd had to learn during her Ranger training. Even now, she couldn't bear to watch what was about to happen.

[break][break]A deeper cry reverberated over the ocean as Julia stood to find a new spot, but it was a massive splash that actually got her to look. A tall blue figure that reminded her of Superman—or maybe Aquaman was a better comparison here—had emerged from the water to stand between the school and the Tentacool. From the back, Julia could see that it shared some dolphin-like traits with the swarm it was protecting.

[break][break]The superhero Pokémon dove under the water into the Tentacool shadow. Julia couldn't see what was happening from where she stood, but whatever the superhero did was enough to make the Tentacool scatter and flee. It emerged from the water with a triumphant cry, prompting the Finizen and Palafin to swarm around it and cheer. Now that it was facing Julia, she could see the emblem on its chest that somewhat resembled a heart.

[break][break]She had to catch one now.
