Cherri ran towards the waters as fast as she could, then when she leaped, she used Tetter Dance to twirl and hover over the waters as best she could before she would drop...

BANG!!

...accidentally on a Corphish when it poked out of the waters. Feeling such a headache, the two were brushed by the waves, and thrown into the muddy sand.

Hopping onto her feet, Cherri apologetically cried to the lobster...but judging by the furious eyes it was giving her, it wanted vengeance instead...

...and its rage gave it so much power, its body glowed and grew...



"YEAAAAH!!" Jarek cheered, riding nearly on the top of a wave with his body-board.

His Pikachu surfed on the board, hoping to one day surf on his own... "Pika?" When he noticed a large enemy crab swinging its claws on something...a cheery-like Pokémon, Cherri! "Pikachu!" he cried to his trainer, trying to avert his attention at the assault.



"SWEEE!!" Cherri barely rolled away from the massive claw, but the force erupted the muddy sand, catapulting the little Pokemon.



"Hey!! Leave her alone you walking seafood dish!" Jarek scowled when he saw the fight they were closing in on. "Volt, use Thunderbolt!"

"Chu!" Springing off the board, Volt built up so much energy in his body, "CHUUUUU!!" And unleashed it at the Crawdaunt.

The large lobster barely could stand after getting electrocuted like that, knowing it won't stand a chance. So it desperately dived into the water, jetting through the waves to escape the dreaded mouse.

When his board slid onto shore, Jarek hurried over to his Pokémon. "Cherri, are you okay?" Picking her up...

...the little fruit Pokemon was whimpering. "Sweee...!!"

"Awww, don't worry. That ugly crab is gone." But it seems that Cherri would be too scared to be left alone. So he picked up her Pokéball. "Here, you wanna go back in your ball?"

"Bou," she nodded, squeezing her eyes to try to dry her eyes before she was zapped back into her Pokéball.

Well, at least she was safe, but even this beach is full of wild Pokémon, even big angry ones. But...he knew that from before. He can't believe that he forgot. Might be a chance to find some good water Pokémon.

"Here we go!!!" Running through the waters, Jarek leaped and got on his board as his Pikachu held onto his head. Paddling deeper to the sea, he kept his eyes for any waves further ahead so he can get ready.

Gasping, Volt perked up, "Pika!" And pointed at something blasting out of the waters ahead.

A massive Mantine soared over the waves like a smooth bird, and trailing behind it was a school of little version of it struggling to stay in the air like little chicks rapidly flapping their little wings.

Sure, there're dangerous Pokémon like that ugly crab, but there're wondrous Pokémon to behold that just want to mind their business. Best not to disturb them. Some of his teachers back in his old Pokémon School told him never try catching Pokémon that clearly has a family. Some people do give trainers a bad rep about stuff like that, like the so-called Team Plasma that supposedly are about Pokémon freedom. A load of bull they turned out to be, but still...

"YEAAAAAHH!" And Jarek managed to ride on a wave...a rather big wave that lifted him so high... "AAAGH!/PIKA!!" ...it tossed them off the board and crashed into the waters.

Jarek and Volt were brushed to shore, gasping for air. However, he felt he was on something...like a jewel. "...uhhhh...wha-AAAAAGH!!" And it spun, throwing him onto the sand. Looking up, he saw a large purple starfish hovering off. Though it had no face, the way it spun its back star, it looked angry. "...uh, nice Starmie?"

And it fired a beam of psychic energy.

Just as Jarek covered his head, Pix swooped in and took the blast that shocked his head. "FREEEE!!" Though it staggered him, Pix endured and shook off the pain.

"...oh you're gonna get it! Pix, use Bug Buzz!"

Rapidly flapping his wings to increase his cry, Pix created a piercing soundwave caused such a migraine on the Starmie, knocking it off the air.

Getting on his feet, Jarek threw an empty Pokéball. "You're mine!!"
