olivia hummed a melody to the mantine as she fawned over the water pokemon. perhaps she would catch one and bring it back to sootopolis. while she mused over the idea, alexander approached with a friendly smile and quick glance to the beach. was he making sure the cameras were on the two of them?

olivia barely managed to fein a smile and wave before a loud whistle cut through their conversation. thank the gods. she gave him a nod as he went off towards the crashing waves. little did he know that the competitive spirit that got olivia through so much had been ignited by the blow of the whistle - and she was ready to take on the world. or at least the waves.

she gave a quick prayer to the gods of the sea before hopping atop the mantine. she was getting ready for a primarina twist.

a frozen grape was popped into her mouth as she looked the challenger over. this was the dragon master. "why, dragons of course." she stated plainly, as if the answer was obvious. "you are a dragon master, are you not? i have been hoping to learn more about them to further understand their legendary counterparts; such as the weather master, rayqauza."

pale blue eyes looked mateo over. "so, young mateo, do tell me what you can." olivia was well versed in the basic knowledge of most regions' mythos, especially hoenn's, she wouldn't call herself a master of dragons. yet.

olivia was the mistress of the waters, follower of the great sea basin, and a water sports enthusiast. all abbiati are expected to be able to swim and dive with ease, but olivia took it further, sneaking away to surf and ride the waves. when she heard tell of competition, she couldn't resist; plus, there was the publicity.

she slipped into the salty waters, bear with nothing but a bikini of pearl cream and silver detailing. while it was a public event and there was supposed security, olivia was still one edge. last time she had been at this beach she was assaulted, kidnapped, and forced to fight her way free. this time she had her own security, the crown, mingling through the crowd as well as meara in her water form hidden in the waves. while olivia wasn't entirely sure where the vaporeon was exactly, the gym leader felt safer knowing she was with her.

a familiar face caught her ocean eyes, one the whole of the region surely knew. olivia still wasn't sure what to make of her last encounter with ALEXANDER STONE, and honestly hadn't been expecting him soon. so instead of dealing with the matter, she turned to face the rented mantine. the water type nuzzled against olivia in the water and she let out a girlish giggle.

the queen of the sea gave an approving nod as she watched elias dazzle with a summoning of moonlight, enveloping him and his pokemon. olivia extended a long slender leg and gave a sultry look over her shoulder before she pulled it into a tight twirl, the fae fog dancing around her figure.

actaea copied the movement, silver light spinning around her like a spider's web and pink energy gathering on the tip of her nose. by the time she completed the twirl, an orb of lunar energy spun on the seal's snout, and she tossed it up before slapping the moonblast with her tail. it flew up, empowered by the misty terrain, before exploding in a shower of silver and pink light. sparkles fell upon olivia and her pokemon, both giving ocean eyes to their challengers.
