"Ready, Suicune?" Josh asked the Walking Wake he was seated on, the water-type paradox obedient to Josh's reins. Steam began to form from the dinosaur-Beast's twin tails, emulating a real Suicune's Tailwind. The waves it created crashed against the natural waves headed toward the shore, making it very choppy for the rest of his Pokémon to navigate.

That was the whole point of today's trip: to get the rest of his aquatic Pokémon in shape for a naval battle to come. One day, he might have to protect Dewford, Slateport, Lilycove, or Arceus forbid, Mauville herself, from Rocket invasion. Battling the wind- and steam-fueled currents were some of Josh's newer water Pokémon, as well as some familiar faces.

had reconnected with the Gym Leader recently and wanted to meet up at Mauville Bay, which was part of why Josh was working with his water Pokémon so late in the season. He hoped the paradoxical Suicune wouldn't intimidate the older trainer too much...!

As the breeze passed by, bringing with it the freshness of the sea, bubbles suddenly appeared on the surface of the water, revealing two figures that slowly emerged "unpretentiously", one accompanied by the other. The anchor Pokémon, Dhelmise, was supporting the corpulent trainer, Nereus, who displayed a beautiful smile and made graceful gestures with his hands as if he were a mermaid - and in fact he really did feel like one.

"JOSH MY BOY!!!" echoed across the horizon with his groaning voice trying to get the attention of the gym leader. Slowly, Dhelmise floated and brought his master to meet the boy. Nereus widened his eyes and laughed out loud with such excitement when he realized that Josh was accompanied by a colossal creature that was completely new to him.

But wait! There was another little creature in this scenario that had been forgotten...

A little further behind her trainer, Mera the Horsea tried to keep up with a weak and relatively breathless swim. It wasn't that she was tired, maybe she just couldn't keep up with the dazzlement her master imposed. Dagon the Dhelmise was the first to notice and, feeling sorry for the little one, he paused, letting Nereus complete the rest of the path alone, actively swimming towards Josh. He is indeed an excellent swimmer, his body was almost made for it.

"Hey buddy, how's it going?" he greeted Josh upon arrival, not necessarily fearing the great Walking Wake. "Oh my... it's huge! You certainly have a good story to tell!"

Unfortunately for now, Nereus had ignored his little Horsea's actions, who was now being assisted by Dhelmise. The water-type was afraid of Josh's Pokémon, but Dhelmise didn't seem to care as usual. The anchor would be her fortress.

As Suicune was building up his HYDRO STEAM to take off across the waves, a familiar, older man's voice called out to him. With a rear that made Josh clutch the reins tightly, the Walking Wake turned around to face Nereus. Recognizing the face, the Gym Leader turned around with a sly smile on his own. "That's Champion Devlin to you, Nereus," he retorted, unable to keep a straight face. "Kidding, kidding! Champion or no, you can keep calling me Josh."

At the notion of Josh having a story to tell, Josh couldn't hold it in anymore; he burst out in laughter. "Arceus me, you have no idea. My life's been a whirlwind these last seven months." The Walking Wake's cry sounded just like Suicune's; anyone familiar with the Beast of Winds could have easily mistaken it for a real Suicune's call. "Where do I even start?"

While Josh and Nereus were talking, Dhelmise arrived accompanied by Horsea, who, disappointed with her trainer, fired several water shots at his back. Nereus turned around and realized that the little Pokémon was trying to tell him something.

"What's wrong, Mera? Can't you see the adults are talking?!"

Mera frowned.

While Nereus was trying to listen to Josh's stories, or rather, Champion Josh's, little Horsea subtly left the place without being noticed, or at least that's what she imagined. Mera was different, she had some anxiety, but perhaps Nereus' moment of carelessness provoked this anxiety even more, resulting in her furtive escape.

Dagon the Dhelmise was the first to notice her absence. Worried, he raised his cursed seaweed to force Mr. Onassis's attention.

"What now?!" he shouted. The anchor Pokémon was very didactic in showing that Horsea was no longer there, that she had run away after feeling ignored. "Mera..." he worried.

Before Josh could even start with his history, the old man yelled at his Horsea, chasing the small Pokémon away from them and into the bay. "Shame on you, Nereus," the Champion chided the older man like a fatherly figure who had caught their child running away from home. "You've been raising Pokémon long enough to know that you can't treat them like that. Let's saddle up and track down Mera."

Provided Nereus didn't have a ride Pokémon of his own, Josh would click open Keiga's Poké Ball, the Kingdra ready to seat Nereus... or if he was feeling brave, behind the Champion on his Walking Wake.
