The duo of Lutgarde and Mantine take a moment to reconsider some strategies, before hitting the waves again. "Alright, let's see if we can make that reality!" The day is coming to a close, so they'd have to use every opportunity they'd get!

After Sylv found another treasure, Lutgarde gently guides him to the shore so they could refresh their energies, but as the ranger takes out the food, they pause. "Where did you find that one now?"

"Oho." Lutgarde only realises one moment later that muscle memory is deceptive here, and they need to fully adjust their thinking to whatever's going on now. Sylph reacts faster to it than her trainer, letting out a determined cry as they still are in the lead in this moment, with Lutgarde not daring to look behind. Still, the wind and sounds might tell them ... something might have changed behind them?

But there's little time to actually consider, as they need to adjust to the new routing, or simply: consider it like it's the first time. "New terrain, here we go!" they laugh as they learn forward tightly, seeing that now, Reaction is once again more asked than anything else. Guiding Sylph with subtle taps, the Togekiss mostly does work herself as she focuses up on the course ahead.

Lutgarde and their Mantine hang in silence for all about three or rather less seconds before they both nod in sync, having contemplated the last attempt and ready to go for another within seconds - not entirely sure whether this actually holds, they go and try again!

"I think I truly get what you mean now!" Lutgarde grins as they move towards another attempt at the trick. "Let's see ... you mean like ... this ..." And there they go, onto another wave!

Lutgarde squeezes the ribbon slightly through which they and Sylv are connected, and the Sylveon relents slightly at the reminder of lunch ... but one last treasure. It truly seems like he's fired up now!

"New techniques are always a bit hard," Lutgarde laughs, determined to give the ideas of the Mantine another try as they brace another way. They're certain that this Mantine's carried quite some trainers - and they would not wanna be the worst of them!

Sylv uses Quick Attack at the Inkay, which quickly causes the pokémon - still giggling - to retreat. Sylv huffs underwater, before tiptoeing away as he swims through the water towards another interesting treasure.

Lutgarde is ready for another go, but the Mantine stops pensively, before starting to chirp. "Hmm? Ideas on how to improve technique?" they ask, then grin, "Let me hear all about it." With improved knowledge, the last twists of the day should be a breeze! Or even more difficult as they have to adjust a little.

Indignant, Sylv pushes himself backwards as the mischievous Inkay giggles and spreads some more black ink into the water. Gladly, Sylv's already dyed black - Lutgarde would rather not want to imagine what else might've happened here.

"I think we're slowly getting a rhythm here," Lutgarde grins as they look out for the next big wave that they could hit. The Mantine agrees with a slight tilt, teasing Lutgarde to lose balance - but right now, they don't fall into the water yet. "Alright, ready for another go!"

Lutgarde could never be mad at Sylv, and simply swims and follows along to see what he might have found. He pokes the treasure cautiously, not sure if he might mistake it for something else, actually-

Lutgarde nods at Shalin's words - there truly were too many for them to deal with immediately. At least, Noh's song should keep them incapacitated for a while longer ... provided that nothing else happened, of course. But as their mind slows down with drowsiness, they can't really figure out a solution for this either. "Yes, let's head back for now ... get a nap in ..."

The Primarina looks really embarrassed, but Lutgarde continuously pats him reassuringly. "Think we'll be fresh and ready once we napped a little bit! As you said, rest is important," they say, talking with Shalin but also maybe more to Noh so he wouldn't feel so bad. At least, if it also affects them, it should affect the Bruxiah even more!
