eighth battle; closed (sorry!)
[Unova Route 17 is, simply put, a route through the sea.
Sure, there are shallow patches of water every now and then, but otherwise, there's a lot of water, and currents that should best be avoided. And you know what that means to a Trainer?
A lot of water Pokemon to catch.
How Whitlea has managed to get here without a Pokemon that knows Surf is a mystery that is best explained by dream logic. What matters now is that she is pacing around one of said patches of shallow water, her shoes squeaking with every step. With every step, her excitement, nervousness and anticipation grows. With every squeak, she inhales and exhales.
She's an old hat at this, of course, but the excitement of battling a wild Pokemon never quite goes away. Even now, when this is only going to be a demonstration for somebody, she's feeling far, far too excited to stay still.
She turns around for the final time, then grins.]
You're late, Ami.
