[attr="class","rosepost"]The life dew was a comforting sight. Pelipper would be able to travel at full speed if he was full health, which would bring him back to land in... well, she wasn't sure how long because their location was unknown to her, but Pelipper could traverse pretty fast with his tailwind.[break][break]
"That's fine," she insisted. "It wouldn't be smart to try and teleport in these conditions." She batted at his hand after he poked and offered him a chastising look. Then, she pulled aside her pack to find her storage clipboard. There were two sets of stationery inside: that with a letterhead denoting federal mail business, and heart mail for her personal use. "An SOS will have to suffice."[break][break]
She pulled the latter out and put it on the clipboard to write a quick SOS message, leaning over it protectively so Rex couldn't get a good look at the admittedly unprofessional parchment. She wrote quickly in cursive, folded the document, and sealed it in an envelope for Pelipper. [break][break]
"Pelipper's got this, so we'll just have to keep ourselves entertained while we wait." Pelipper flapped into the air gracelessly. "Are you hurt?"[break][break] [break]

[attr="class","rosepost"]She kicked herself up to the surface. Pelipper flew down low with interest as she came up from the dive. He couldn't yet sense her frustration.[break][break]
Not until she growled, that is. And she was steaming as she tossed the pokeball into his open mouth to hold. "Just pokeball litter," she said through gritted teeth. It was one thing to not find a Clamperl and a whole other thing to fail to get anything but trash.[break][break]
Sure, she could use more pokemon, but the kids beside her were finding really cool gems and even unused potions. All she had was a set of silly pokeballs.[break][break]WK6XKimR [break]

[attr="class","rosepost"]She's trying to ignore the obvious: she's losing.[break][break]
Dozens of other people have already placed on the leaderboard. She can't even pull her act together long enough to land a mid-level move. But the lower skill moves are literally designed for kids. It'd be too humiliating. What if she failed that, too?[break][break]
Fuck it.[break][break]
The mid-level wasn't working, so it was time to commit to high risk, high reward. She'd run out of time otherwise. [break][break]fGvki7VL[break]magikarp splash [break]

[attr="class","rosepost"]She came to to the sound of muffled footsteps. She opened her eyes with a jolt of alarm, but she quickly made out the person beside her to be the one and only Althus Rex. His signature sat in her office where she kept all stationery.[break][break]
"Rex? Where are we?"[break][break]
She brought herself up to sit on her elbows, head spinning. Memories of her mission trickled in slowly. She narrated aloud as they came to her: she had been trying to deliver mail to a fisherman on a long-term assignment. It'd been a private commission to her directly, a rush order. And she had done so successfully, but the storm at sea must have taken her and Pelipper out.[break][break]
Pelipper! She released him from his pokeball. He looked weary, but in good spirits. "If neither of us have the means to fly out of here, Pelipper can deliver an SOS." [break][break] [break]

[dw] stepping on the beach

Sasha's acceptance of her apology was a relief. Keiko had little interest in making enemies, particularly at the hands of her Pelipper that needed a shorter leash. She was happy to follow along towards the pretzel stand. "So, Sasha, are you here for the Clamperl diving?" She had tried her own hand at it earlier that morning and caught little else besides pokeball litter.

Their path was filled with bustling people, but everyone seemed to be absorbed in their own agendas and moved quickly. It was more activity than she was used to. "Sinnoh doesn't have a lot of events that bring this many people out. I'm surprised so many people made time for the beach." Perhaps the looming conflict made people eager for levity.

Pelipper cawed above her head, drawing Keiko's attention just in time to see the bird underneath a spotlight from a fairy - the Clefable half-buried in the sand. She had little interest in letting Pelipper's ego get inflated, so she tossed a pokeball at the Clefable to end the spotlight.

Comparison was the thief of joy. Comparison was the thief of joy. Comparison -

She couldn't help it. She wouldn't describe herself as very competitive outside of that involving work, but this... this was testing her strength of will. She wanted to make it on the leaderboard. The fact that so many youths were beating her made her feel especially inept. Still, she tried to coach herself to a better mentality. Surfing wasn't a big deal in Sinnoh - at least not where she lived.

No Clamperl. Yet. She had plenty of time to get one, she told herself. She didn't need to panic just yet. Maybe she needed to think like a Clamperl.

What kind of thoughts did they have?

Maybe she needed more pokemon to enlist in the search. Their help seemed to be discouraged for this festival activity, but she also figured that wild pokemon were out and about. Maybe she could bribe one of them?

She was in the middle of wrangling her bird when she noticed the other woman scoop up her Chikorita. Slowly, the dots started to connect in her mind, but the logical conclusion was solidified at the question. "Yes," she said with a long-suffering sigh. "Was he harassing you?" Her gaze flickered between the woman to the Chikorita.

It made perfect sense that Pelipper couldn't go long without harassing a fellow trainer. "I take it your Chikorita pursued because that pretzel was yours? Her grip tightened on the Pelipper, who squawked indignantly. "Let me buy you a new one. He should know better by now, but his big mouth gets him in more trouble than he ever had as a Wingull in Sinnoh." She finally released her bird, who flew high but stayed obediently close, now aware he was on thin ice.

Keiko extended a hand to the other woman. "Keiko Mori, sorry to make your acquaintance for this reason," she said with good humor.

Perseverance was the lesson today.

She could tell because she was drenched in salt water. And she had no successful moves under her belt.

It was almost humbling, but she didn't feel less for her failures. She felt empowered to keep going. She wanted to keep up with the Hoenn folks and their festivities. Plus, she might have something cool to show her family upon visiting Sinnoh. It would be a great relief, though, if she could nail ONE trick. She felt that wasn't asking too much.

She had a few interesting goodies from the reef. It was easy to understand why people went so feral for this activity. She'd thought the hundred people at the beach were losing their minds, but apparently the hype was real. She had a few capsules and pokeballs for her personal collection... but no Clamperl. She wasn't giving up until she had one to call her own. This dive felt lucky, at least.
