Wingulls cried out in alarm and flew out of their way as Skyler and her partner Mienfoo, Miyagi, ran through the beach. It was barely past sunrise, but the two had been at it for some time. There was sweat running down Skyler's back and her lungs were screaming at her to slow down, but her determination made her push forward.

Miyagi wouldn't slow down either and whenever Skyler seemed to be faltering Miyagi would chatter at her in what Skyler supposed was the Mienfoo's version of cheering her on. It strangely did help, and so they continued up until they reached the base of the lighthouse.

Skyler leaned against a nearby rock and let her head rest against the rocky surface, trying to control her gasping breath and the frantic rythm of her heart. Blond curls were plastered to the sides of her sweaty face and she brushed them away, making sure her bandana was in place over her forehead.

She looked over at Miyagi and saw that the Pokémon was atop one of big rocks litering that part of the beach, looking down at Skyler expectantly. The human couldn't help but groan out loud, but dragged herself away from her position and scrambled her way up her own big rock. The sun hit her face as she turned to face the Mienfoo. "What now?"

Miyagi made a series of slow, fluid movements and Skyler did her best to copy the easy and confident grace with which the Fighting type moved -- with absolutely no degree of success whatsoever. She didn't stop though, and when Miyagi did this awesome kick outwards, Skyler tried to do the same.

Her foot slipped.

"Shit!" She exclaimed eloquently.

Skyler fell down in a glorious and profoundly humiliating mess of limbs, hitting the wet sand with a muted 'oof'. There was, she thought, sand everywhere. She looked down her shirt and groaned. Everywhere.

it was one thing to go on a nice little trip.

it was enough for her pokemon to run right on ahead, enjoy herself in the fresh air while attempting to do some training for herself. like a wingull, she made the tufts of fur that jutted from her arms raise into the air, running around to make them ride the breeze. daphne wasn't the kind to exercise too often, especially to a larger degree. she much preferred simple workouts or jogs; enough to keep her healthy and active just enough. the bare minimum.

though it looks like she wasn't the only trainer on the beach. there was another trainer, running around her with mienfoo and the two of them looked to be having fun with their own devices. her mienshao only gave them a sparing glance, solely because of the mienfoo. even if she denies it, profusely,daphne knows that her mienshao is something of a worrywart and mother to younger pokemon. she likes to tease her, now and again. in fact--

"isn't it cute, amethyst?" she asks the purple pokemon. the fighting pokemon pauses, catching herself staring, then turns her head away in a snuff of denial. daphne giggles.

she continues to watch on, up until the trainer attempted to copy one of her pokemon's movements. oh, she already knew that this might not turn too we-- yup. the greenette flinches, feeling the second hand shock from hitting the sand. "oh dear.." she starts, getting up from the sand and brushing the particles off her thighs. she raises a hand to motion to the mienshao, approaching the young woman. when she arrives, she leans over with a hand on her knees and the other arm outstretched.

"are you alright? i have some water pokemon who could help wash the sand off."

She was still despairing over her sand-encrusted self when a nearby voice piped up. Not expecting anyone to be nearby, Skyler almost jumped out of her skin. Her head immediately snapped to the origin of the voice only to find a beautiful woman offering a hand out to her. 

Skyler blinked a couple of times, still a bit dazed from the fall, and took the woman's hand, pushing herself to her feet. A veritable waterfall of sand fell from her body as she got up, much to her dismay.

"Thank you," Skyler said ruefully, shaking some more sand from her hair until her fingers nearly became stuck in the tangled curls, "I think I might take a quick dive to get all of this sand off." 

A chattering pulled her attention from the kind stranger and she looked down to see her Mienfoo, Miyagi, gesturing wildly to her in, at least as far as Skyler could tell, worried vexation. "I know, I know, Miyagi. We trained this a million times -- I'm okay, don't worry. I swear." This seemed to calm the pokémon down, who stared at her with arms crossed. 

"Errr..." Her brain had suddenly caught up to her and she blushed as she realized that this kind person must've been witness to her amazing tumble. "I'm Skyler, Skyler Dross, professional diver and treasure hunter," and an idiot, she completed in her head.

"I'm just, err... going to take a quick dive. Be right back!" When in a embarrassing situation, she thought, just yeet yourself into the ocean.
