[Oh lookie, the beach! Barry's just walking along the shore with his Empoleon and looking at the vast ocean. Well, walking along the shore relaxing is something Barry would do when he isn't training or roaming the island. Footprints of him and Empoleon are everywhere, now.]

...Where in the world are you, Daddy?

It's my birthday today, damn it.

[Secondary little brother, in a bad mood? Of course Reggie is pinged.

You get a pat on the head as a sort of greeting.]

Hey, Barry. Why so glum?

[inahurrygaiz]

Oh, hey Reggie.

...Nothing. I'm just thinking of my Daddy, that's all.

[onesymbolshort]

Ah, Palmer, right?

Is he still around?

((OOC: Shin says to assume that this comes after Paul's thread, pfft.))

[inahurrygaiz]

...I have no idea anymore. I wonder if he had really forgotten about me...

[OOC: okay~ \o/]

[battlestandby]

[Look who's a-trollin'. And also looking for his missing Pokemon, but we're not making that too obvious now.]

So you were lying after all.

[inahurrygaiz]

[He's just gonna stare at you now.

Who what where when? Liar? What are you talking about （´∀`）]

[battlestandby]

Your father's a deadbeat just like mine.

[inahurrygaiz]

No he isn't!

I won't allow you to speak badly of my father like that! Even if it's Paul...

[Nuh uh he's not gonna let you insult his o-so-mighty Daddy like that.]

[marigold_flame]

[Behold, a ball of goddamn sunny sun sunshiney-ness and their Nidorino, running around the beach and laughing.]

[Well, the Trainer's laughing. The Nidorino might be, if a Nidorino could do that. At any rate, they both seem to be having fun.]

[Oh, and that Trainer? Tripping in front of you, Barry.]

Owowowow...oh, hi there.

[inahurrygaiz]

[He noticed you, of course. That's a really cute way of showing up, really. ///]

...Are you alright?

[That must have hurt.]

[marigold_flame]

[Says the captain of running into things.]

Uh-huh. Just fell, s'all.

[Naaaaah.]

[inahurrygaiz]

[Hand. Come on, grab it. Barry'll pull you up.]

I'm Barry! You are...?

[croakblock]

Crooooooooooooooooo.

[standing in front of Barry]

Croooo.

[staring]

[inahurrygaiz]

[...You look awfully familiar.

Ah that's it you're...]

A Croagunk? Don't you belong to... What was his name again...? Brock!

[croakblock]

[he looks up with a start at the mention of that name.]

Cro?!

[inahurrygaiz]

Oh? Then it must be! You belong to the Brock guy, don't you?

nope c:

[inahurrygaiz]

...Oh, hey Dawn!

I'm fine. I'm just thinking about some stuff.

[inahurrygaiz]

I'm fine! What about you?
