The beach was a place she had only been to once before. Sand wasn't exactly made for a wheelchair, after all. She was sure if Hercules, her Machamp, hadn't pushed her that day and she had wheeled herself, she would've been exhausted. And yet, despite that, she was going back. Feeling the ocean breeze and the sound of the waves on the shore had really enticed her, not that there had been much of a breeze that day considering it had been summer and that week had been exceedingly hot. But regardless, she had had a good time.
[break][break]
Going back, it was almost like it was that day. Almost. This time she didn't have a picnic basket with her. But Hercules was pushing her wheelchair and Eos, her Kirlia, was once more sitting in her lap. Not that the latter was too uncommon. Eos always sat in her lap and used her psychic powers to mentally talk to her through a telepathic link, albeit a weak one considering she didn't currently have telepathy as an ability.
[break][break]
The sound of the waves allowed her to know they had reached the beach. And she relaxed more into the wheelchair, just taking in the sounds around her. She wondered what it would be like to let the water rush over her. Be a bit of a normal kid. It wasn't something she had ever done, even before the incident that had landed her in a wheelchair. Before all that, her lack of eyesight had kept her from coming, her parents not really wanting her to walk along the beach when she couldn't see.
[break][break]
Still, she wanted to know what it was like. It wasn't like she planned on going far out. She couldn't swim, after all. But she was also aware of how protective her Pokémon was. And the likelihood of them not allowing her near the water was strong.
[break][break]
Chewing her lower lip, she considered her options. She finally made up her mind and turned towards Hercules. "Can you carry me closer to the water?" she inquired. "Please?" she added once it seemed he would refuse.
[break][break]
Letting out as much of a sigh as a Pokémon could, he relented. The Machamp was about to pick her up when Eos let her know a Galarian Zigzagoon had wandered up. A bit surprised, she turned her head in the direction Eos had indicated.
[break][break]
Was it another Pokémon that had wandered off? If that was the case, this really was starting to feel like déjà vu. Last time she had met a woman whose Smoochum had found her after running off. Though she highly doubted this was the same. Seriously, what were the odds that she would meet Eva Morales the same way again? That meant it was another person who had lost their Pokémon.
[break][break]
"Is your owner nearby?" she inquired of the Pokémon. Though it wasn't like she expected a response. "Guess we'll just have to find this one's owner," she told her companions before turning back towards Hercules.
[break][break]
While she was turning to address Hercules, Eos had decided to talk to the Zigzagoon. While no one could really tell what was said, one could only speculate that Eos had told the other Pokémon to come with them.
[break][break]
Back with Opal, she had turned towards Hercules. "I'm ready now."
[break][break]
That was all the order Hercules needed as he picked her up and began to carry her closer to the water.[break] WREN WINTER

She figured the Galarian Zigzagoon would get around to following them eventually. She had no way of knowing she wasn't the sharpest tool in the toolbox, just figuring the other Pokémon was a bit caught off guard by Eos invading her mind. Perfectly understandable since not many Pokémon would be able to talk directly in someone's mind.
[break][break]
The Galarian Zigzagoon took a little longer than necessary to realize something was going on though. At least in her opinion, it did. A slight gasp left her as Hercules had to shift her weight in his arms to avoid dropping her as the Galarian Zigzagoon ran around its legs. This caused Opal to grab hold of one of his arms as the Machamp came to a sudden stop.
[break][break]
When Wren found them, he would find Hercules and Eos both annoyed by the Pokémon's antics. Opal, on the other hand, was trying to soothe them. The last thing she wanted was for one of them to attack the other Pokémon because it was bothering them. She didn't think the Galarian Zigzagoon was a threat, but it was possible Hercules and Eos would see it as a threat.
[break][break]
The young man's voice distracted them all, and she turned her head in the direction she had heard his voice come from. The way he spoke to his Pokémon made her uncomfortable. That was no way to speak about a Pokémon, in her opinion.
[break][break]
Before she could even think of a response, the Pokémon, Meatloaf, decided to climb Hercules like a tree. Something the Machamp wasn't too happy with. "Hercules, it's alright, just calm down," she said soothingly before turning her attention to the young man.
[break][break]
"It's fine, don't worry about it. I think Eos tried to tell her telepathically we would help her find her owner. I don't think it went well though," she said, gesturing to the Kirlia on her lap when she mentioned Eos.
[break][break]
Eos, for her part, had chosen to just glare at Meatloaf. Something that was a bit strange to see on the face of a Kirlia.[break] WREN WINTER

Hercules wasn't usually a violent Pokémon, unless he thought his owner was at risk of being hurt. So she wasn't too worried about the Machamp hurting either of them. Still, she thought it best that Hercules calm down.
[break][break]
Feeling Hercules tense as Meatloaf ran to the other side of him, she rested a hand on his arm as a silent reassurance to calm down, assuring him that everything would be alright. Once she felt him calm down, she turned her attention to the guy.
[break][break]
"You don't have to worry about Hercules too much. Deep down, he's just a big softie. Unless you wish me harm, he isn't going to be throwing fists," she admitted, deciding to leave off the fact that the main reason Hercules didn't do that was because he knew it made her sad.
[break][break]
From the thoughts she received from Eos, it seemed that Eos wasn't having nice thoughts about the Galarian Zigzagoon. She was about to scold Eos for her thoughts when the man spoke up once more, momentarily making her forget what she had been about to do.
[break][break]
Eos didn't seem any more impressed by Wren's apology, but at least she stopped glaring and instead chose to turn away.
[break][break]
Realizing this, Opal let out a sigh.
[break][break]
"Sorry about Eos, she's really protective over me. More so than Hercules," she admitted, her expression apologetic.
[break][break]
Finally, it seemed that Wren got a hold of Meatloaf and Hercules could relax fully. It should be noted that Hercules still seemed to shoot Meatloaf a wary look, despite him now being caught.
[break][break]
She didn't like to think of everything, but she still checked her pockets. Her phone was still on her, and everything of value would be in her bag. She knew well enough that Eos wouldn't allow anything to be taken from that.
[break][break]
"We have everything," she told him.
[break][break]
Silence lapsed between them for a few seconds before she spoke up once more. "If you don't mind me asking, what brought you out here?"[break] WREN WINTER
